Hybrid Workplace Series: Foundations of the Hybrid Workplace
Webex Meetings
Do you have all of the tools you need to be successful in the hybrid workplace?
Working remotely during the pandemic required the workforce to constantly adapt work processes and procedures and we all learned a great deal in this process. With a gradual return to campus and hybrid work we will need to continue to upskill in order to evolve as the nature of our work and our workplace evolves. The Hybrid Workplace series offers staff training in the available productivity and collaboration tools that will help contribute to individual and shared success in our new normal.
UMBC supports Webex video and audio conferencing giving all faculty, staff and students accounts to host virtual meetings. Any UMBC account holder can schedule meetings or use a personal meeting room to share their screen, and collaborate with members of our community.
