Helen Watts and Andrea DiIeso
Remote teams are something of an anomaly for workplace experience managers. Without access to on-site amenities, events, or in-person communication, teams face a wide array of challenges when trying to cultivate a high-performance organizational culture among all users.
Since the majority of organizations are now having to rely on remote work to continue operations, this conversation is more timely than ever. We speak with experts Helen Watts and Andrea DiIeso, who take a look at recent research and case studies to examine why fostering the right workplace culture is so important, and consider creative ways that some organizations are using to bring their people together.
