Course Description
A huge increase in remote workers has organizations of all kinds re-aligning their thinking, reducing their pricey commercial real estate costs, and creating movable, everything-on- wheels offices.
Whether working from home, at a convenient off-site location, or on the other side of the world, utilizing "remote" workers can be one of the best steps employers can take to keep employees productive and engaged.
