Harvard Business Review estimates that by 2020, over 50% of the worldwide workforce will be virtual.

Contrary to some well-publicized decisions to dis-allow working from home or remotely, the huge trend is to allow for, accommodate, and encourage working remotely.

Participants in this webinar will be able to:

• Teach their Management Teams the very real and quantifiable benefits of allowing people to work remotely, thereby increasing Employee Engagement, especially for the Millennial (Gen Y) population of workers
• Learn and apply the four key attributes to look for when hiring the right people for remote positions, thereby avoiding costly turnover and low productivity.
• Discover the Top 10 Employee Engagement Drivers and how to maximize them for Virtual Workers
• Establish the right “remote architecture” or structure to ensure a successful virtual work world, especially how to leverage technology to bridge the gap or gulf between “Corporate” and “the field”
• Help their organization and leaders overcome the barrier of TRUST, which can be one of the greatest impediments to a successful virtual work environment/culture

Kevin will cover the following key elements to building this trust:

• Cultivating a remote culture of freedom and autonomy
• Fostering great communication
• Establishing and maintain clear and complementary roles and responsibilities

Speaker:  Kevin Sheridan (LinkedIn profile) is a best-selling author of Building a Magnetic Culture: How to Attract and Retain Top Talent to Create an Engaged, Productive Workforce and The Virtual Manager: Cutting-Edge Solutions for Hiring, Managing, Motivating, and Engaging Mobile Employees.
