The crises of 2020 have thrown family routines and structures into disarray. As parents and caregivers patch together new ways of coping with the demands of work and school, companies are scrambling to find new methods to shore up the well-being and productivity of their workers. Our conference will explore innovations in child care, mental health, elder care, family leave, work-life boundaries and the struggle of families to re-organize their lives in workable ways.
This half day virtual event will include keynote, fireside chat, and panel discussions on our virtual main stage, as well as workshop sessions, chat, and one-on-one networking opportunities that will facilitate interaction with our presenters and your fellow participants.
From Day One is a Recertification Provider for SHRM and HRCI. This session is eligible for 3.75 credits from both organizations. The Activity IDs will be sent to attendees after the conclusion of the session.
