ABOUT THE TALK

The global pandemic has forced a huge shift in how work gets done. Many tech companies have made the shift to remote-first working. Whilst for the most part this has improved many peoples work-life balance, we have also lost a lot of the things that lead to innovation in the workplace, such as serendipitous conversations, mentoring of less experienced staff and opportunities to gather together at events face-to-face.

So what does the future hold? How, as tech leaders, can we balance both face to face and remote-first working? Do we divert investment to get people together for more "off sites"? Do we create more, smaller hubs as our colleagues move away from cities to the countryside?
