SHRM Conference session on Managing Virtual Workforce
For the next two weeks our blog posts will focus on the upcoming SHRM Conference in Atlanta, where Yael Zofi will be running two full day sessions on Managing a Virtual Workforce. For those who were expecting “Virtual Teams Video Cliff Notes”, they will resume at the end of the month.
SHRM is known for holding wonderful global conferences. With keynote speakers like Malcolm Gladwell, Condoleezza Rice, Jim Collins, and Tom Brokaw, the 15,000+ participants will surely take away world-class ideas. The conference will focus on areas like Leadership, Change Management, Global Talent Management, Global Compliance, Workforce Planning, Recruiting and New Media and Cross Cultural Insights, along with other Global Human Resource Management topics. Presenters include global leaders, game changers, visionaries and authors. In addition, participants will have the chance to meet up with media enterprises and relevant vendors.
Yael’s session, Managing a Virtual Workforce : Bringing Reality to Your Virtual Teams, is part of the “Advanced Recertification” conference track. She will discuss ways HR executives can better serve the changing needs of their virtual clients to become true ‘Agents of Connection’, to facilitate the all-important human connection in the virtual workplace. Her session includes interactive discussions, engaging activities and case studies. Her workshop will follow topics based on chapters of her book, A Manager’s Guide to Virtual Teams, and conclude with creating a Virtual Teams Roadmap.
On June 23rd and 24th Yael will sign her book at the international SHRM bookstore.
