presents

an exclusive IT Leaders Circle luncheon:

Attracting, Managing & Retaining the Global,

Mobile and Virtual Workforce

Chicago, IL | September 21, 2012

The workforce of the present and future does not look like the workforce of the past. Technology has caused a major workforce shift. Today, it's not unusual for employees to be spread across the globe. IDC estimated mobile workers numbered more than one billion in 2011, and this number is expected to grow. A virtual workforce gives organizations flexibility, but also poses new challenges. Without traditional face-to-face time, how do managers create, sustain, support, and reward a passionate and productive workforce?

Learn how at this exclusive* IT Leaders Circle luncheon. Our Keynote Speaker and panel of leading senior IT executives will explore strategies to engage employees and build trust; technology that is making this work shift more manageable; how to manage performance of a virtual workforce; how to reduce virtual distance, build a virtual team and recreate your organization by offering current and prospective employees flexibility, social interaction, visibility and a fun work environment.

Join us and get strategies to maximize a global, virtual workforce. Attend this event!

YOU'LL GET PIERCING INSIGHTS FROM OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKER!

Understanding of various leadership styles and how they are adapting to the new ‘age’. 2. Understanding the needs and requirements of the next generation workforce. 3. Understanding the differences between various business models and which ones are most likely to prevail.
