The Management Department of the Culverhouse College of Business invites you to a Lunch and Learn series to help you navigate the challenges associated with managing in the new normal as any businesses return to full operations. Our leading professors will address key topics and answer questions you may have related to topics ranging from strategy making under uncertainty to managing virtual teams and building a culture in a hybrid work setting.

All sessions will be on Zoom and registration is required but it is free to attend.

Our first session features master strategist Dr. Larry Baldwin consulting on Best Practices in HR That Have Evolved From the Pandemic.

This has been a year of heartache and significant upheaval in our personal and work lives for all of us. Mask or no mask? Vaccination or no vaccination? Come to the workplace or work remotely? Is it the employer’s obligation to ensure the health and well-being of its employees? It seems like there are more questions than answers! We will talk about some of the resolutions and how a business can move forward towards the future. Some will argue the future is now so these decisions are necessary in the quick. However, the key element in this dilemma is to be armed with good information and the willingness to seek advice when necessary. Let us discuss the now, the past, and the future of COVID-19 workplace activities.
