Is this course still current given how much has changed since the pandemic?
It was built around a COVID-era return, so treat the specific health guidance as dated and verify current requirements. The leadership skills, phasing a transition, communicating change, handling concerns, transfer to any major return-to-office shift.
How is this different from the 'Returning to the Workplace' course?
This one focuses on the leader's role in guiding a team back. The companion course leans toward the on-site safe-practices side. They overlap and can be taken together.
