    • Non-Profit

In this session, originally recorded on May 26, 2020, Robyn Osgood and Dave McKechnie share their five good ideas about re-opening your workplace post COVID-19.
Robyn Osgood, Managing Director, McMillan Vantage Policy Group, and Dave McKechnie, Chair, Employment & Labour Relations, McMillan LLP, discussed their five good ideas for organizations to implement as we think about re-opening our workplaces, including re-examining how we work and implementing lessons learned over the course of the COVID-19 crisis.
Five Good Ideas

It’s chaos, be kind (learn to embrace the chaos while sweating the big stuff)
Level up: it’s (past) time to upgrade (and it’s not just about technology)
Figure out what’s worked and hasn’t worked (and who it is that makes the determination)
Know your team: what will it take for people to work in an office
Hold up a mirror: do as you say
