ON THE AGENDA!

PANEL DISCUSSIONS

• Future state of remote and hybrid work and how to prepare for it.  We'll talk Return To Office (RTO) initiatives and how to defend against them or manage through them, using your WFH/Remote program as a strategic recruitment tool, transformation from entry level customer service roles to advanced knowledge workers with advancement of AI, employee preferences and optimized leader support.

BREAKOUT SESSIONS 

• Best in class sourcing, hiring, on-boarding remote employees. In existing and new markets.  Innovative approaches to reduce reliance on expensive job boards, drive increased native applicant flow, fast and effective assessment tools, effectively simulating the work environment to avoid churn.

• Flexible scheduling for hybrid, remote and in office staff.  Employees want more skin in the game – more control over the design of their work schedules, and more flexibility when life happens (e.g. attendance policies). Some want the flexibility to build their own work schedules, some want to make changes every month, some want fixed commitments. Hand-in-hand with scheduling goes attendance policies and guidelines - overhauls are underway.  

• Security, IT/technology and equipment provisioning, assessing applicant ISP stability, equipment and services provisioning, tools to analyze, manage and support the network in a remote environment, VPN vs. VDI, stabilizing the voice channel.

• Developing highly effective leaders of remote and hybrid teams. Leaders at all levels need the knowledge, skills and abilities to effectively support, inspire and development their team members.  This session will walk you through the high level of identifying your learning objectives, and best tools for delivery.

• Gamification, recognition and reward and engagement activities to easily connect your workforce and improve speed to proficiency, integrating existing recognition/reward systems with new gamification platforms.  Gamify your onboarding and training program, nest period, team participation - right through the entire employee lifecycle.  Why?  80% of your employees play games in their personal time.  Games help people learn faster, retain more, and have way more fun.
