Remote AID Highlights
April 20th, 2020
Telecommuting during coronavirus? Remote AID is for you.
Helping You Get Through Remote Work Challenges
We believe in the power of remote work, and as the long time practitioners in this field, we have assembled a free charity event for companies and remote employees, who are struggling with emergency work from home practices. Remote Aid 2020 is a one day online event, which will take you through the most important areas of managing your distributed teams. Today remote work is no longer a perk, it is a necessity. To get it right, CEOs, managers and employees need to be educated.
Remote Aid 2020 will be attended by renowned speakers and experts, all of whom are donating their time to deliver unparalleled content on building and scaling remote companies.
Who Spoke At Remote AID 2020?

How You (Yes, You!) Can Help Rebuild Economies
The Covid-19 pandemic is a massive disruption to global economies – and will continue to be so for a while. Returning to whatever is the ‘new normal’ will be slow and gradual.
These are stressful times, even for people who routinely “work from home”. Of course, health of yourself/family/friends is a big concern. Even if all are healthy, there are other worries. Businesses are laying off and closing down at levels not see in ~100 years. Even if your business survives, will your clients? Will you still have a job? Are you dealing with children suddenly home with no childcare / schools / universities – and often, no playing outside for weeks.
This is an inflection point for society. The business landscape “after” covid-19 will be different. What you did before may no longer apply. At the same time, things that were impossible before may now suddenly be possible.
If you are experienced working in physically distributed teams, you have a skill that many others suddenly need. Badly.
Learn how you can “do the most good for the most people”. While also learning new skills, helping revive your local economy and maybe, just maybe, finding new opportunities or new career focus as we emerge from this pandemic.
