An engaging and participant-driven programme of short workshops to prepare your organisation
Help your entire organisation to get on the right page for the new normal - whatever that means for you, in this series of short workshops designed to address every aspect of adjusting to the new normal.
There's a lot of talk that 2022 heralds a "new normal" in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic. The problem with this term, though, is that there is no "normal" - different organisations are going different ways with their expectations for how they'll be working in the future. What is a constant, though, is that around the globe, organisations will have to decide what their future looks like, and employees will have to adapt to whatever the situation is in their job.
In this innovative series of participant-led workshops for both managers and individual contributors, your employees will have the opportunity to come closer together within and across teams, whilst processing what your organisation's "new normal" means for them.
The programme is structured with an opening and closing module for all participants where they'll explore current and future realities in the organisation, and be empowered to make the change successful. Between these two modules are separate modules covering specific topics which can be selected for different participants as required. In addition, there is a managers-only module to explore the critical manager roles required to make the change a success.
Under the expert facilitation of Knowledge Bites' most senior facilitators, participants will guide themselves through a diverse range of discussions and activities to ensure that both the programmes and outcomes are truly owned by them rather than being "taught" on a traditional training course.
