SXSW 2020
Lessons From Largely Virtual Companies
Description:
In a tight labor market, the number of companies leveraging remote work to attract and retain top talent is increasing. In fact, 43% of U.S. businesses currently offer some degree of remote working. As more companies scale up their remote workforce, smart leaders need to scale up their understanding of best practices in remote team management as well. Who better to learn from than the leaders that manage very large or fully distributed companies and teams? Leaders from Buffer, FlexJobs, GitHub, and Help Scout will share the problems they've encountered and solutions they've implemented while growing and managing their companies where their workers are spread out across the U.S., and sometimes even the world.
