In the wake of COVID, workplaces have changed. Some workplaces have transitioned to fully remote or hybrid formats, while others have transitioned from remote to wholly in-person for some employees, although not necessarily for all. As we, our users and our patrons, navigate these virtual and hybrid workspaces, how do we stay connected to our colleagues and our patrons? How can we promote our services, resources, and offerings across the three different types of workplaces? This program will include discussion by a panel, consisting of panelists from each type of workplace (in-person, hybrid, and fully remote) before breaking into smaller groups to brainstorm ways to stay connected and share any successes or failures they have experienced while navigating this new workplace.

Target Audience:

Anyone impacted by a decrease in in-person interactions with patrons at their place of employment, as well as those struggling with a return to fully in-person work.

Takeaways:

  • Participants will be able to assess issues that have arisen within their workplaces while navigating at least some remote work.
  • Participants will be able to identify and discuss potential issues, both positive and negative, surrounding an increase in remote work, whether participants themselves are remote, hybrid, or in-person.
  • Participants will be able to identify and discuss possible solutions for increasing involvement and awareness as patrons and users of our resources.
