Future of Work Practices: How to Maximize Online Collaboration and Virtual Working

The pandemic has brought about an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their lives, and most, in fact 77% of the legal professionals want to retain elements of this new virtual, remote working - to varying degrees. And critically, 22% said they are likely to leave if their employers didn’t accommodate the new way they want to work. In this podcast, we will briefly discuss differing perspectives on remote working, the benefits and drawbacks to individuals, firms and clients to remote working, the impact on collaboration and differences by subgroup, working patterns, before and during COVID-19 and desired post-pandemic and which roles should remote working be available to, plus with or without restrictions. We will also understand where you fit in and how you can maximize your own and your teams’ productivity as we progress into a new world of work with mixtures of both distributed and in person teams.  Moderator:  @Harriet Joubert-Vaklyes - Process Innovation Senior Specialist, Shearman & Sterling LLP Speakers: @Kristin Rhodes - Senior Practice Manager, Paul Hastings LLP @Natalie Runyon -  Director, Enterprise Content, Talent, Inclusion & Culture, Market Insights, Thomson Reuters Recorded on 10-26-2021​​​​​
