Best Practices in Managing Your Newly “Remote” Workforce
Times have changed. Over the last few weeks with the chaos that the COVID-19 pandemic has created, companies have had to shift their workforce strategy on the fly.
Employees that have been used to physically going to an office are now required to do the same work, but from the “comfort” of their own homes. Are you confident that you have your policies up-to-date and compliant? Regardless of how long we’re in this situation, office work as we know it has changed and will be different when we come out of this crisis. Join us as we discuss what’s required to have a true telework arrangement when managing your new remote workforce as well as best practices for unique situations that have come up.
