Peer Learning Roundtable Program

presented by Hobart, Duneland and Portage Chamber of Commerce

During times of accelerated change in the workplace, what can we do to solve our workplace challenges more quickly and continue strengthening our skills and abilities to keep up with demand?

JOIN US for an interactive discussion, led by industry experts, where you will learn best practices, tips and tricks, and collaboratively help one another solve their workplace problems.  Groups will be established by a topic of interest you choose.

This is an opportunity to identify practical and actionable tasks to help you solve your toughest problems in less time while you sharpen your skills.

Notes:

  1. You do not need to be a member of the chambers to attend this event.
  2. For best results, we recommend signing up for all 3 sessions; however, each workshop is designed to stand alone.

The benefits of attending are as follows:

  1. Learn best practices from their peers that can be applied to their situation
  2. Arrive with a ‘workplace issue/concern’ in mind and work together to resolve the situation
  3. Hold yourself accountable by writing your actions down
  4. Ensure you follow through by asking someone in the group to be your check in/learning partner.
