    A focus on remote culture can help improve business outcomes because it helps improve relationships and communication throughout your organization. To get anything done, teams have to communicate frequently and listen often. Remote work culture may also democratize innovation, giving more introverted voices online communication channels that help them freely express ideas and help build stronger teams. 

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Define remote team and work culture
    2. Understand why inclusion is important
    3. How to meet the functional needs of virtual employees/remote teams
    4. Tools and ideas to help build a stronger team (blended workforce)
    5. Best practices in integrating virtual employees (back) into the live workplace
