Fresh content on SocialTalent this week

Learning should always reflect what is going on in the industry. New ideas and best practices are needed, especially with how much the landscape of work has changed. What were initially regarded as only fleeting adjustments, like work-from-home, have become standard. So it’s important to make sure the content you are consuming relates to this. 

As is tradition, SocialTalent is always on the pulse. We have expanded our offering of missions and this week’s release sees a bumper addition of new courses directly related to remote working. We’re also excited to offer a distilled version of John Vlastelica’s ever-popular Predicting Success module. Take a look…

So we need to get really good at managing from afar. Luckily, SocialTalent now has a complete toolkit to ensure this. Presented by industry experts Jason Lauritsen and Linda Jonas, this comprehensive collection of eight missions (phew!) will help keep your teams engaged and productive when working remotely.
