Best Practices: Supervisory Skills in a Hybrid Work Environment

 Speakers: Gabriel Cox and Trish Griffus

With all the challenges of working in a hybrid work environment, building strength in supervisor’s skills is key. How to communicate and clarify realistic expectations in our new normal is something supervisors need to focus on with intention.  The importance of role clarity is also critical because by understanding and accepting your role in an organization, supervisors can build a cohesive team.

While it’s an honor to be invited to join a nonprofit board–and while you may be passionate about the nonprofit’s cause–it’s wise to pause before you “jump on board.”
