About the webinar:
For many of you out there, it is happening overnight. With no time to plan or prepare, it means you have even less time to think about how to be successful working from home. This can create even more fear and anxiety around being effective and productive.

Communication is key. A broad topic, communication, so we will break it down into those areas which will provide you the most impact while you are transitioning to a new normal of working from home. Spoiler alert, these are great practices to embrace, regardless of your work environment!

We thought about postponing this webinar until fall, but we understand from the presenter that their company has had calls regarding auctions and RFP’s since Covid-19.
Listeners will learn about best practices of the RFP participation, what questions to ask and what to look out for. There will be some examples of RFPs conducted in Energy, and a guide of how to conduct an RFP. We will discuss some examples of auctions in Energy, how they are different from RFPs and how to participate in an auction.

About the presentation:
The transition to remote working happened overnight for the retail propane and energy industry. Like so many others out there, processes, procedures and technology were having to get figured out on the fly. Just as you have settled into a routine of the “new normal” the time is coming to get back to the office.
Transitioning back to a new normal will not be as easy as it sounds. Employees working from home, altered work arrangements for service techs and changed customer interactions are just a few of the things that changed overnight. All will have an impact on employee morale, workplace culture and may cause your branch to innovate and change in order to remain competitive.
As owners and managers look to transition their teams from remote work back “what it used to be”, join this session to learn tools to help you:
Attend this session and walk away more prepared to lead through transition into a new normal!!
