The Greater Twin Cities Chapter of the Association for Talent Development Presents
What Works about Virtual Work: A Conversation about Lessons Learned with Industry Experts
People around the world found ways to work from home because we had to beginning in March of 2020. Organizations that had previously felt that remote work couldn't be done successfully found ways to stay connected to employees, vendors, and even customers through innovative thinking. Did everything we tried work? Of course not! Did resilient leaders take a step back, make strategic changes, and try again? Absolutely. In this panel discussion, we're going to hear from three industry leaders who pivoted their teams to remote work environments, made critical decisions, and learned how to be successful while remaining physically separated.
