Workforce Week: Creating Healthy Workplaces for the Future
CFCU Community Credit Union, Live in Ithaca, and the Tompkins Chamber are excited to host a week of programming to support area businesses, organizations, and their employees in navigating today’s workforce and workplace challenges and opportunities. The last two years have brought changes to health and wellness needs, technology, workforce recruitment; as well as how people think about work, and what they expect and need from their employers.
Join us for a week of webinars – or select a few – with area experts sharing resources and best practices. The week will culminate with an in-person Happy Hour on Friday at Liquid State Brewing, featuring Silo Food Truck.
Each workshop and panel will be approximately 60-75 minutes, taking place remotely by webinar. Register for all workshops you’d like to attend individually.
