To thrive in the modern workplace, good communication is critical. But how can managers identify the most efficient ways to exchange messages with their teams? 

We asked Jane Bozarth, Director of Research at Learning Guild, to join us on The Visual Lounge and help unpack our recent research report, ‘Chaos to Clarity: How to Thrive in the Modern Workplace’. 

Jane shares her thoughts on the most interesting findings from the research, explaining how to make meetings more productive, leverage the benefits of asynchronous videos and use visuals to enhance your communication.
