Welcome to ALI Conference's virtual conference on Communicating to & Engaging a Remote Workforce! During today's sessions, you'll learn from top communications professionals on the best strategies for communicating with your remote employees.

Intermountain Healthcare's new CEO launched a company restructure in 2017 that affected virtually all of the organization's 38,000 employees dispersed throughout multiple remote locations across two states. They employed a variety of tactics to communicate changes and improve morale, some of which worked and some did not.

Take an inside look at things they tried, including live video broadcasts, podcasts, face-to-face meetings, emails, etc., and discussed what worked, what didn't, and what they learned in the year-long process.

In this session, hear how changes were communicated to employees and the lessons learned throughout the process, including:

• Ways to deliver difficult messages to employees.
• Pitfalls to avoid when communicating with employees.
• Strategies to rebuild employee trust and engagement following tough changes.

Gaining adoption and achieving a greater ROI isn’t magic and shouldn’t be left to chance. This session will look at planning and preparation tips for the O365 adoption process that is time-tested and purpose-built to take a user from reluctant and unmotivated to excited and working in new ways, including:

• Innovative ways to begin preparation with employees
• Gaining executive support
• Success criteria
• Measuring business outcomes
• Ongoing productivity gains and changing behavior

As businesses continue to respond to COVID-19, and information changes daily, communicators find ourselves flying the communication plane, while we’re still building it.  See how Morton Buildings acted quickly to set up a one-stop communication shop to give employees a single place to go to for the important information and updates they need to know, and learn how we’re executing and adapting the team in real time.

Remote workforces were becoming commonplace, but with the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic, they became essential. Best practices that worked for business-as-usual remote teams swiftly changed. And work-from-home newbies needed training. Vitiello Communications Group polled business and communications leaders to uncover the most effective crisis communications best practices for remote teams. Chief Executive Officer Jill Vitiello will share five key findings and one bonus prediction.
