Boulder, CO (PRWEB) May 31, 2016 -- FlexJobs and Remote.co are hosting the first ever TRaD* Works Forum (*Telecommuting, Remote, and Distributed) June 8 -10, 2016 at the Fairmont Washington, D.C.-Georgetown Hotel.

"Remote work is the future of the workforce, so the goal of TRaD Works is to provide a space where remote work leaders can share their knowledge, technologies and best practices on this evolving trend," said Sara Sutton Fell, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs

Post this

“Remote work is the future of the workforce, so the goal of TRaD Works is to provide a space where remote work leaders can share their knowledge, technologies and best practices on this evolving trend,” said Sara Sutton Fell, Founder and CEO of FlexJobs and Remote.co. “Nowhere else will you find this caliber of leadership on remote work gathering to discuss the benefits, challenges, and opportunities that ‘TRaD’ working offers. This is going to be a collaborative event where leaders in remote work will help each other dial in how to track, support, and optimize remote work programs at their respective organizations.”

When: Wednesday, June 8th--Friday, June 10th, 2016

Why:
Nationally, telecommuting has grown 103 percent in the last ten years. More companies are offering telecommuting and flexible work options, but the majority are informal and only 3 percent of companies offering flexible work arrangements quantify the return on investment of their programs.

The two largest generations in the workforce, Millennials and Gen-Xers (who represent 106.4 million workers) have voiced their demand for flexible work options, making it a critical employment issue for companies to address.

Telework can keep businesses viable during major events that disrupt commutes. In Washington D.C., for example, the winter of 2015 brought severe storms, mass-transit shutdowns, and the Pope’s visit--and telework was widely encouraged to alleviate business disruptions.

Who: Featured speakers include:
Mohammed Chadi, Director Global HR Services with Dell
Kelly Wallace, Digital Correspondent & Editor-at-Large with CNN
Ken Matos, Vice President of Research with Life Meets Work

Panelists include leaders from ADP, American Express, Anthem, Clorox, Dell, Kaplan, SAP, Sodexo, UnitedHealth Group, Xerox, the U.S. Department of Labor, and more.

What: The TRaD Works Forum agenda includes various keynotes, panels, and workshops related to the entire life cycle of remote work:

Building a Business Case for Remote Work and How to Get Buy-In From Stakeholders
How Millennials are Shaping Work Flexibility in a Multigenerational Workforce
What is The Global Impact Of Remote Work
The Current Landscape of Remote Work and Work Flexibility - What the Numbers and Studies Show
Curating Culture In A Remote Workforce
How Employer Branding Leaders Leverage Remote Work to Attract Top Talent
Supporting Managers To Be Effective Remote Team Leaders
Case Study-Dell's Remote Work Journey Towards ROI
Keynote from CNN's Kelly Wallace

Workshop-Developing a Remote Work Playbook At Your Organization

Where: Fairmont Washington, D.C.-Georgetown hotel
