Why are we still scheduling virtual sessions?

We will still be holding virtual sessions so that we can accommodate those employees who may not be able to attend an in-person session (regional campuses, out-of-state employees, etc.) This also allows for more flexibility for those attendees who may work shifts outside of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. or have hybrid work arrangements.

Why are we including in-person sessions?

We have worked to ensure that both in-person and virtual sessions are engaging and valuable, and this hybrid model allows us to make a return to in-person sessions. This increases the likelihood of understanding and retaining the information covered. This also provides more opportunities for attendees to ask questions and turn in the necessary paperwork.
