The Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How of Work in a Post-Pandemic World
This session will focus on the broad range of shifts that will reshape not just the where of work in the future, but the who, what, when, why, and how as well. The pandemic did not set these changes in motion, but it did accelerate many of them. Though the tide has definitely shifted toward greater workplace flexibility, most medium and large employers are not willing to go fully remote just yet. The hybrid model most are adopting is fraught with challenges, particularly as it relates to ensuring remote and non-remote employees are treated equitably. This will be no small feat. Best practices for doing hybrid right will be discussed in the how’ portion of the session.

Can the U-Turn of the Pandemic Help Us Reimagine Work That Works for Everyone?
Why did it take a pandemic to force companies to change their work habits?  I’ve been working in HR for years, and throughout that time employees have expressed interest in remote work  but employers have not accommodated  these desires, except in rare instances.  Why? Was it inertia?

I'll discuss this as well as the advantages of a remote-first workforce that we’ve seen during the pandemic and which of these are worth retaining.

Equipping the World to Employ Remotely
Before you can enjoy all the advantages of a remote workforce, you have to get the basics right. Job van der Voort and Marcelo Lebre, co-founders of Remote, have extensive experience in remote work leadership and practice. With employees in dozens of countries across six continents, Remote has been a pioneer in remote collaboration and communication. In this session, Job and Marcelo will cover the foundations of remote work, including how to hire in other countries, how to design processes that work for multiple time zones, and how companies can gauge performance for remote-first teams.

Coinbase in conversation: How the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. went remote-first
In May of 2020, following the forced, universal remote work experiment of covid-19, Coinbase leadership made a radical decision: To reimagine the future of work at the company as remote-first. This session, a conversation with Dominique Baillet (Senior Director of Senior Director, People Strategy and Special Projects) and Daisy Linden (Director of Employee Experience), will outline how the team aligned Executive leadership on a path forward, transformed this high-level aspiration into crisp workstreams, what the work looks like today, and how the team is measuring both progress and success. Expect to leave with a framework for how you might think about this journey for your own company, insights about what pitfalls to avoid, and ideas about how to overcome two enemies of remote-first: lack of connection and meeting overwhelm.

The Evolution of Global Talent Acquisition
Innovation is the name of the game in talent. Historically, hiring teams and job seekers were limited by geography, coordinating time between meetings and life, trapped by the homogeneity of urban city centers. But in a fully virtual world, companies can invest in great candidates regardless of time zone and really solve for the heart of why diversity is so challenging. Join this fireside chat with Richard Cho, Head of Recruiting at Robinhood, and Betsy Bula, All-Remote Evangelist at GitLab, to learn more about how organizations can build systems to access the best talent, expand inclusivity and deepen engagement, and truly connect with candidates.

Organizational learning in the age of Distributed Work
While distributed work is not new, it has now become a widespread necessity. How does this impact how organizations and the people within them learn? I describe what we have learnt through our research and teaching over the last year about learning in distributed settings – by individuals and groups, in the classroom and at work. Distribution certainly poses some important challenges to individual learning, but paradoxically offers some new opportunities for group learning.
