We are excited to announce the next installment of the monthly Employee Development Series: Technology Tips & Tricks with Kara McElwrath on February 26 from 10:30 a.m. to noon.
Does it feel like technology is constantly changing and there is always something new to learn? That’s because it is! Finding the time to learn new tools – or learn old tools that we never got around to learning – can be a challenge. That’s where our Technology Tips and Tricks Speed Meet can help! Every 10 minutes, we’ll introduce/review a different technology that can help you save time, communicate better, collaborate easier, and improve efficiency.
