Staying Connected While Working Remotely

Are you thriving as a "remote land trust?" At the start of the pandemic, many organizations found themselves making a sudden pivot, with staff working from home rather than their usual shared office space. Almost two years later, businesses of all kinds have had to adapt to supporting remote work. But have you settled in to this new reality for the long-term? Your digital environment is just as important as your physical one, and there are big opportunities for land trusts that embrace the pivot to remote (and we don’t mean easement monitoring!). In this session we’ll talk about how to make the most of remote (or at least “hybrid”) work and reconnect for the future.

Paul Keogan and Michelle Paul from BackOffice Thinking (the company behind LOCATE) have been working with land trusts and leading distributed teams for years, and will share tips on:

• Hiring and managing remote staff

• Using digital tools to stay connected

• Adopting safe and secure technology systems

• Embracing the new possibilities presented by remote work environments
