We know, we know. This is the 700th email you’ve gotten in the past month about maintaining collaboration in a remote work environment.

There’s good reason for that: Remote collaboration is hard! Keeping your team members communicating and engaged with each other is challenging enough in a physical office. Enabling collaboration in a world of hybrid work is exponentially more difficult, and it requires continued attention, flexibility and adaptability.

On June 22, join Governing and Government Technology for the latest virtual conversation in our ongoing series on developing a talent strategy for 2022 and beyond. In this webinar, we’ll discuss:

  • Smart technologies that empower employees to collaborate across physical and digital workforces in synchronous and asynchronous ways
  • New strategies for preventing digital fatigue and burnout
  • How automation lets employees focus on more meaningful work
  • The must-have requirements (both technological and non-IT) for enabling continuous collaboration
