Navigating the Risks & Rewards of a Remote/Telecommute Workforce
Presented by Kristi Weierbach, PhD, SPFR, SHRM-SCP, Managing Director, Workforce Advisory and Karen Poist, CPA, Director State & Local Tax, Stambaugh Ness
Shifting to a remote workforce overnight was a necessity in March 2020. And now over 18 months later, for many forward-thinking firms, maintaining that remote/telework environment has become business as usual. Firms that successfully adopt and embrace this modern workforce have a distinct competitive advantage, but it is not without its challenges. This presentation will discuss the unique workforce dynamics of being a “location of choice” firm. Topics include tax implications of remote/telecommute employees, building a remote culture, best practices for collaboration and connection, developing remote work policies, and benefits of flexible work options.
