Many association staff are working from home or a remote location, some or all the time. This has led to new ways to manage office IT and remote work policies and how they impact the staff at every level and department.
This month’s CIO Hour features a remote workforce expert and a managed service provider CTO, who will share their experiences and answer questions on how you can better manage staff, avoid risks, and improve security in the remote and hybrid work environments.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Learning what security best practices your association should have in place
- Getting staff and leadership to understand the importance of strong and equitable remote work policies and guidelines.
- Utilizing productivity tools across the organization to augment NOT replace good management and communication skills
- Managing the tension between making it easy for employees to use technology versus managing security risks for the organization.
Extra 30:
We’re adding an EXTRA 30 minutes with the panelists from 3:00 to 3:30. This is your opportunity to ask questions and share ideas on managing the challenges of the remote workplace with the other participants and panelists.
