60 Minutes

With the current coronavirus scare, employers are taking active steps to ease the spread of the disease by allowing workers who are able to work from home. Though there has been a recent trend toward employers offering remote working and telecommuting arrangements, having a majority of your workforce working from home can be daunting when leaders and managers have firm deliverables and deadlines to meet. Join this webinar to learn several research-based tips on how to successfully manage employees who are working remotely. This webinar will review the benefits of allowing employees to work from home and give managers the tools they still need to get the performance they expect from their teams.
