Many people have stereotypes and visions of remote employees working only in IT or telemarketing businesses, or wild entrepreneurial startup ventures. That is simply not true! Join Mickey for this energetic and informative session on who remote workers are, what skills are best for remote working, how to attract and retain remote employees, and how to engage with remote employees. Resources, ideas, and handouts will be shared, as well as plenty of time for Q&A!
