Live Event video: How to create a highly productive remote team

Work has long been associated with an office or a workplace. While home-based businesses, including startups and more established companies, have thrived in some sectors, most Canadians connected work with a place they regularly commuted to. With the COVID-19 pandemic, much has changed.

Meanwhile, organizations have had to figure out how to keep their teams productive and engaged at home as well as safe.

Companies that prioritize human connections and adopt tools like video conferencing to enable them are more likely to foster productivity.
