This session explores workforce issues through the lens of an organization created in reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic. We will facilitate open discussion about issues such as the shift in needed skills, changed business models, and staff fatigue. The goal is to learn from each other by sharing what’s happening across institutions, identifying short- and long-term concerns, and considering barriers and ways to move forward.
