Building Excellence in Remote Teams

  • Effective techniques for team collaboration and inspiring remote employees.

The irony of organizing an in-person conference for people who work remotely is not lost on us. However, being remote doesn’t mean you never meet your team or peers in-person. Gathering together with purpose, on purpose with people in similar situations can be both eye-opening and liberating.

Relaunching Your Career: Tools & Strategies for Women Returning to Work

Don’t lose hope because you are more prepared than you think! This engaging panel of experts and relaunchers will provide experiences, insights, tools, tips, and strategies for women returning to the workforce—whether you are thinking about it or already have a “job” but want a “career.” Join us as we discuss how to be successful in relaunching your career!

How can businesses conduct the best and most insightful interviews to ensure candidates are comfortable with remote working? How can you make sure that you are happy and that the candidate is the perfect fit for the remote job?
