As connectivity blurs the line between office, home and the entire planet, what can we learn from our remote workforce that can help the entire organization? Using personal experiences and business examples, this session will look at the evolution of telecommuting over the years, and the change in attitudes and management as our workforces have dispersed. Now that remote is the new face to face, are we liking what we’re seeing?

Audience takeaways:

• What does “remote” employee mean in 2016?
• What can organizational leaders learn from their remote employees?
• Why did we ever fear the telecommuter? How were we right? How were we wrong?
• Debunking the myths of distance vs. face-to-face and getting the most out of both.
