Dec. 2020: Where in the H*LL Does the Future of Work Go From Here?”

At the end of the hit 80’s movie, Back to the Future, Emmett Brown (Doc) famously says, “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” Fast forward to 2020, and it appears that there may be things in our work lives that we really don’t need anymore, or maybe, we need them now more than ever! In this session, we will have an engaging discussion on the future of work and exactly where in the h*ll we go from here.

What You’ll Learn:

• Tips and best practices in recruiting the most talented and diverse talent for the long-term
• How to overcome challenges in managing remote teams and maintain a sense of normalcy when leading teams to success
• Creating and maintaining your ideal company culture, which transcends Zoom calls and virtual meetings
