A panelist at the NICSA convention discussing the changing workplace and virtual teams
February 20, 2007 by Phil Montero
I arrived at the beautiful Doral Resort in Miami today (only a few hours South on the Florida Turnpike for me). It was a beautiful day in the mid 60’s and the sun was shining, so I really enjoyed the drive. I felt guilty guilty for a second getting ready this morning and watching the weather channel when I saw that it was -10 degrees with the wind chill in Boston today (the place I called home before moving to Florida). But only for a second . . . 😉
I’m speaking on a panel tomorrow at the annual NICSA convention. Our session is called Looking Forward/Looking Back: Changing Demographics in the Workplace of the 21st Century.
Our panel (which lasts an hour) will be discussing:
- How to get the best candidates
- How to integrate part-time and remote employees into the culture
- How do alternative work arrangements impact the bottom line in terms of cost savings and increased productivity?
I’m looking forward to an interesting discussion. I’ll post more on Wednesday with more info on how the panel went and a summary of best practices and lessons learned.
