Building an Amazing Virtual Work Culture: Start Where You Are, Use What You Have
Culture has always been a defining factor in how successful companies attract and retain top talent. Organizations must foster a culture and work policy that shares their employees’ values. However, now even once this is accomplished, companies are facing a new challenge due to the transition to remote work: creating, maintaining, and communicating this employee-centric virtual culture.
Before the remote era, new hires were inducted into the company’s culture by meeting and interacting in person with their coworkers. Now, new hires may never meet their coworkers in person, and must learn how to create professional relationships through videoconferences and chat rooms. To overcome these obstacles, companies must use a combination of the experience from their in-person office and the digital tools available to create an inclusive and engaging virtual work culture.
In this session, Allie Kovalik, Senior Community & Culture Manager at Globalization Partners, will share her expertise and proven strategies for building a vibrant all-virtual culture, including how to:
- Promote a company’s culture with virtual tools.
- Welcome and induct new hires into your company’s remote culture.
- Maintain a positive culture while navigating remote work challenges.

Leading internal employee engagement efforts around the world for Globalization Partners for nearly 2 years, Allie has a host of experience in event planning, communications, and creatively finding ways to weave story telling into the employee experience. "Cultivating a positive employee experience is about more than hosting fun events, it's about the connections we're able to make around the world that expand our ways of thinking, empowering one another to be active participants in building communities and partnerships, how we view other cultures and what we can learn from one another," says Allie. Her career is driven by the belief that building community needs to be intentional, especially in this remote-first world, and that building a corporate culture to be proud of is a collective effort among the entire team.
