How does our organization cope with the CORONA experience?

Deutsch

We conduct this second pro bono survey in 2020, in order to identify how “the new normal” is shaping the future of Learning & Development.

It will help you in re-defining new ways of collaboration, remote working, mastering new tools, rethinking methods. The  results will be distributed free of charge through our mailing list for the exchange of experiences.

This survey is  GDPR-compliant - all answers remain anonymous and confidential!

Personal data and the company name are automatically separated from the response data by the system.

Continuous exchange is more important than ever in the current situation!
