SUMMARY:Webinar: Dispute Resolution in the Workplace: Managing Remote Workers
DESCRIPTION:Remote or hybrid work has been trending over the past several years. Companies and employers are shifting to remote work in order to cut costs\, gain efficiencies\, and offer employee flexibility. According to recent Census data\, 5.2% of the workforce worked from home before the pandemic. It is likely that the pandemic has increased the percentage of remote workers. Whether the change to remote work will be for better or worse depends on a lot of factors such as worker productivity and collaboration. How are you or your client doing managing remote workers? Do you need workplace facilitation tips for remote worker issues? Do you manage remote workers and are you trying to uplevel? \nWe will discuss the following topics for attorneys\, mediators\, and human resource professionals to consider while navigating the waters of managing remote workers: \n\nLaws that relate to managing remote workers\nAccountability for remote workers\nAccountability for remote worker supervisors and managers\nCreating a cohesive work culture in a remote environment\nRapport building for remote workers and teams\nIdeas for managing dynamic employee personalities in remote work environments\, including difficult personalities\nToxic work environments and employee discipline\nRemote workplace issues that attorneys\, mediators\, and human resource professionals often hear about or encounter and possible solutions\n\nThe CLE panel of presenters includes labor and employment attorneys\, seasoned mediators\, and a human resource professional and career coach. We have allocated time for questions and answers at the end of the program.
