Six questions to prepare your campus for a hybrid work environment

Plan a future work environment that puts people first and enhances the bottom line.

After spending most of last year making sure faculty, staff and students were safe and productive while working remotely, or on campus, colleges and universities are now focused on what their administrative offices will look like in the future.

For many administrators, the future will involve some element of hybrid work.
