Yes, you really can get work done from home!

D2L is a global company and has embraced remote workers, with many employees working from remote and/or home offices - from members of the Sales team to developers up to the COO. I have worked remotely at D2L for 7 years in a variety of positions and teams, which has taught me a lot about how to be a high-performing and productive remote employee as well as how to coach traditionally co-located teams to integrate remote employees. Working remotely - and doing it successfully - requires commitment from the employee, the team, leaders, and the business to allow the entire team to be productive. This session will focus on lessons learned throughout years of remote working experience and how you can determine if working remotely may be for you.

Topics to be covered will include:

• Is remote working for you?
• Supercharging a team with remote workers
• Obstacles you may face and overcome
