ROI Success Story

I started up my own travel agency, CT Lyman Adventures specializing in family and group cruises.I am also enjoying retirement and personal travel whenever possible. Because of my love for traveling, I decided to make this a post-retirement career to help other people enjoy travel and learn how easy it actually is. The Certified Sales Professional course taught me many new skills, which coupled with my 40 years in marketing, has enabled me to be confident in starting my own business.

The 2nd edition of the Remote Work Guidebook is now available at the USU Extension Store. This new edition is more comprehensive, up to date, and closely follows the outline of the Certified Remote Work Professional course more closely.

How to craft policies that balance in-office and flexible working

    There is no easy solution for companies trying to craft policies that balance in-office and flexible working, as there are undeniable benefits to both approaches. But much of the recent messaging from company leaders demanding that employees return to the office has felt tone-deaf at best and dictatorial at worst. 


    To be successful, companies need to engage in dialogue with employees and be explicit and honest about which outcomes are most critical.
