CWM: The Key To Thriving In The Next Normal
For most businesses, remote working is no longer an option, but a necessary means of respecting one anothers’ health and preventing the spread of COVID-19.
As we learn to adapt to these sudden and unprecedented changes – where some employees are working remote for the first time in their careers, how can organizations continue to thrive post-COVID? The need for powerful long-term working solutions has never been more relevant than now.
This talk will illustrate how an organization of over 1000 employees has successfully pivoted to working fully remote with CWM, and achieved continuous growth despite economic uncertainty.
Attendees will learn how to apply the same principles to ready themselves for the Next Normal, and stay prepared for what’s to come in the future.

Large Enterprises – The Reality Of Remote Work
The COVID-19 office shut-downs has accelerated remote work as a hot topic – not just for tech start-ups and SAAS companies, but also for large, more traditional enterprises. Prior to COVID, many large companies were already working virtually, but had not yet acknowledged it. Often these companies were made up of teams spread across office sites in different cities, states, and countries, mixed in with a minority of employees that were fully remote or had some part-time work-from-home flexibility. When COVID-19 hit many of these organizations had to start working fully remotely almost overnight and did not yet have the skills, tools, processes, and policies in place for any easy transition.
In this panel, Sacha Connor, the CEO of Virtual Work Insider, will interview 3 panelists from large enterprises that were ahead of the game. They started to put best practices into place to enable their teams work better across distance before COVID and are now working hard to enable their virtual teams for the long term.
