The transition to “Rapid Remote” was hard. Hybrid is even harder.
Many large enterprises are now entering a new period of transition. Many are stepping into a phase of experimentation as they try out new hybrid working models.
Our CEO, Sacha Connor, led a panel discussion with some of our Virtual Work Insiders clients to share how they, and the large enterprises they lead, have adapted to remote and hybrid work over the past year and what’s in store for the future.
In this session, panelists who represent Raytheon Technologies, Guest Worldwide, and Sovos Brands share their thoughts and experiences on:
- Best practices for transitioning to remote & hybrid work – the skills needed to make it successful, including the importance of learning how to influence across distance
- Integrating new teams virtually – creating team cohesion and connectivity when people have never met each other in person
- Fostering innovation – how to innovate and ideate when you can’t all be in the same room
- Looking to the future – the challenges and opportunities that come with continued remote and hybrid work
Panelists:
🎤 John Carroll – Vice President of Global HR, Guest Worldwide, a >$1 billion division of Sysco that had to be extremely inventive to pivot during the pandemic.
