About the Session:
Remote work is here to stay. Technology will continue to play a key role in enabling the blended work experience, but even the best tools can only do so much. We must adapt our everyday habits to effectively balance productivity, wellness and community in the new world of work. During this session, JD will discuss:
- Introducing wellness and community into your WFH habits
- 35 proven practices for improving the WFH experience
- Sustaining remote work effectiveness long-term
Hundreds of articles have been written about remote work tips over the past year. And they all say the same things. Maintain regular hours. Schedule breaks. Keep a dedicated office space. Etc. Etc. But then what? For example, how can you stay productive when people are scheduling more and more meetings? How can you improve your sense of workplace community when you only see people on a screen? How can you improve your physical and mental wellness when you don't leave your home as much? Remote work is here to stay, but we'll only be successful if we evolve the fundamentals of how we do our jobs.

But a strong blended learning design approach is necessary to make sense of the many instructional strategies, techniques, and technologies in our learning ecosystems. Organizations also need to maximize their investment in learning and support learners at every moment of learning need.
