The shift towards a more remote and global workforce has overarching benefits for employees and companies alike. Employees are happier and more productive, with the ability to redirect commuting time towards more productive work and life endeavors. Employers are able to attract and retain the best talent for the job, without location or logistics as a limitation – as well as enjoying the cost savings associated with reduced facilities and infrastructure.
But what impact does this new more virtual workforce have on employee engagement and development? That question is increasingly on the minds of leading employers, as telework moves from the fringes to the mainstream for talent-minded companies. This webinar will feature Robert McCarthy and Maureen Manning, two esteemed business leaders from Fidelity Investment’s Enterprise Infrastructure business unit, who will share their stories about how engaging remote and global employees in skills-based volunteering has helped increase employee engagement by providing talent and leadership development opportunities for employees.
What You’ll Walk Away With:
- Tips and best practices on how to engage remote and global employees in team based pro bono projects as a talent and leadership development initiative.
- The key challenges and opportunities around integrating virtual skilled service programs as a solution and an equalizer for remote and global employees.
- Recommendations for ways nonprofits can leverage the shift towards a more virtual workforce to access talent, connect with corporate partners and save on overhead costs.
