Alex Berke on LinkedIn Live: Running the Return-to-Work Marathon

The transition might be a welcome relief or a moment of dread for you—either way, it’s hard to deny a lot has changed in this country and the world. Communities, laws, relationships, and beliefs have shifted immensely over the past year and a half, and we will be feeling the impacts of this for a long time.
