Companies have been forced to evolve their operations to include everything from remote work technology and collaboration tools to online-only meetings, and out of the office policies, leaving them scrambling to remain productive in today´s marketplace.

Now more than ever, companies need expert guidance throughout the transition to a remote-first workforce and rely on business leaders who can offer real-world examples that really work in these extraordinary times: Allie Kovalik, Senior Community & Culture Manager at Globalization Partners will share some key tips on how to build and manage a successful remote-first team in 2022 and beyond.

  • The importance of a company-wide remote-first policy.

Building community is at the core of Allie's professional career and has been for nearly a decade. 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.
