As a manager of remote employees, it can be easy to cross over to the dark side of skepticism, distrust, and paranoia. When this happens, the first impulse can be to put the squeeze on employees through the use of screen recorders, keyboard stroke counters, or invasive 1:1s. Unfortunately, this is actually the first step in creating a toxic work environment for your employees, and is guaranteed to hurt the overall goal of your remote team.

Fortunately, there are many organizational, cultural, and even mental changes that can be rolled out to help keep that toxicity at bay. This presentation would highlight those changes, and back up the tactics with real world data. This session is full of actionable content that can be rolled out the same day:
