Join us on July 14th from 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM at Drago's Seafood Restaurant in Jackson to hear from Shondra M. Kines, SHRM-CP and Jason Marsh on "The Push and Pull: Returning to the Office or Embracing Remote Offices".

Whether you have made this decision or not, you may feel the need to understand more about the changed expectations of workspace and personal space while in the office. Join these two Human Resource Professionals as they help us navigate changed workspaces, learn what attributes make someone a reliable remote worker and some legal aspects of both working remotely or in an office setting.
