A long, long time ago we would simply call, email, or poke our head into someone’s workspace to collaborate. Now? The options are endless, somewhat confusing, and ever-shifting. During this session, we’ll cover ways to connect, what works well, what doesn’t, and more important, how to maximize our communication efforts.

Learning Objectives
  • Discover and recall synchronistic and asynchronistic ways of connecting remotely.
  • Identify best practices for communicating with colleagues virtually.
  • Explore and recall the benefits of collaborative workspaces.

Material presented in 2021 and refers to Covid 19 related working from home (WFH) in 2020. Gives insight to workers perceptions and attitudes related to WFH and the working model workers would like to use going forward. A good analysis and insights presented.

This is a discussion that will not go away. More and more companies are thinking of switching to some form of remote work setting. Good ideas on best practices with this change.

This course wasn't exactly what I expected. I expected more on effective collaboration and less on what has happened over the course of the last year.
