Author Jill Christensen will present her findings about managing the remote workforce. Her book, "Remote 101," focuses on building productive remote teams through clear, outcome-based expectations and intentional, transparent communication. She emphasizes fostering trust by empowering workers with autonomy and replacing micromanagement with a strong, connected, and inclusive company culture, and outcomes that require strategic planning and management practices by the organization that wishes to maximize remote working environments. Participants will be asked to interact via videoconference, asking questions, offering ideas and resources to one another, and participating in the speaker's polls and questions.
