Keynote: Cracking the Code on Remote Work

Everyone deserves an amazing place to work... so why do so many people dread getting out of bed in the morning? We’ve embraced future-focused, cutting-edge tools to revolutionize how we work but have let ideas about company culture evolve at a snail’s pace. With organizational strategies better-suited to the last century, it’s no wonder that so many employees are struck by a case of the Sunday scaries. 

Hannah’s presentation aims to shed light on strategies that actually matter for not only today’s workforce but the workforce of the future. She’ll challenge the way you think about culture, communication, work ethic, and trust so that no matter your level, whether you’re a new hire or a mid-level manager, a senior executive or a front-line employee, you can learn how to create a workplace that works (and doesn’t suck).

The move to hybrid work ‚with some staying remote while others returning to the office ‚is changing that feeling. Now, the objective for companies should be to ensure that team members have the tools they need to contribute equally and feel included, wherever they are.

Remote participants cannot be relegated to second class citizens. Successfully evolving to hybrid work requires environments and experiences that seamlessly connect in-office and remote staff. Getting your audio right is key to inclusive collaboration and ensuring everyone feels part of the conversation.
