Our first webinar series, Bee School, is designed to help management lead their teams and operate successful companies. Think of it as Beekeeper’s spin on business school, taught by an actual MBA professor.
Our mission to pave the future of work for non-desk workers and those who manage them is at the core of why we started Bee School.
Over the span of six weeks, course participants gained valuable insights on how to keep employees motivated and engaged at work, as well as how to build and navigate inclusive work cultures.
At Beekeeper, we want to empower every leader with the tools they need to run a successful team, taking into account both human connection and technology. This is your chance to receive an MBA level education without the cost. No commute, no hassle—just results.
