I’m writing this on the literal longest day of the year, yet I feel time is moving so fast. This day, this month, where did it go? 

I bought a 2021 physical calendar this week, now that we’re halfway through the year. Prior, there was so little to keep track of I didn’t feel the need — it was minimal enough I could just remember and didn’t need to coordinate with my husband (we were both just home … all the time). But with vaccines administered and restrictions lifted, there are local events, work trips, weddings, vacations and visitors again! Remember plans? 

Life resuming its post-pandemic pace is beautifully novel, but you know what I can’t imagine? Coordinating employees return to the office, including decisions such as deciding who can work remotely and how often, and such. I have so much admiration for the leaders making these tough decisions. 

At Women Leading Travel & Hospitality, we don’t have the answers, but we found someone who does. Remote work expert Sacha Connor joined us for a live session about creating successful hybrid workplaces. Connor addressed so many concerns and questions during the half-hour session. If you weren’t able to tune in live, you can watch a complimentary video recording here.

In addition, have you utilized our Back-to-Office Checklist yet? The timely report includes insights and personal examples from leading executives in the industry, as well as actionable checkpoint items — ones you can print out and cross out with a pen … the best! (Says the woman who just bought a calendar, I know.)

We see the unique situations you all have been tasked with, and hope these tools will support you and your companies. Of course you already have the experience and attitude to succeed, but the industry and the world is moving at a fast pace again. Therefore, we want to aid when it comes to efficiency and inspiration.

Let us know how else we can empower you.
