Creating an Office Services User’s Guide
One of the most difficult challenges any operation faces is communicating to the company what services are provided and a service standard for each. Developing and publishing a Standard Operating Procedures manual for mail and delivery services is critical to its success and to ensure that every employee has a document of services rendered. It also benefits in the training process of new employees to learn how things are done and how to operate all the equipment located in the operation center. If you have ever considered or are looking at creating an operations guide, then this session is for you. Instructor: Joe Freeman, CMDSM

Team Communication in the Workplace
Because work has become so complex, no-one person has all the skills or knowledge to achieve all that we want to accomplish. As a result, interdisciplinary teams have become required in many fields. There is even a science in how to manage and communicate with teams, and processes that make collaborations more efficient and successful. Has this changed as Teams work remotely during the Pandemic? This session will share the Six Things that Functional Teams do well including Clear Communication, Conflict Resolution and Setting Clear Goals. Presented by Barbara Fahy, MDC, OSPC, Managing Director, AOSP
