Pay-to-Play and Remote Work Ecosystem
Happy Hour with Shannon Tipton and Brent Schlenker:
Join Shannon Tipton and Brent Schlenker for a blend of business smarts and L&D war stories. Don’t miss our happy hour recommendations at the end of these notes!
Today, we're dissecting what’s up with pay-to-play conferences and equity in remote work.
When it comes to remote work, there are many organizations taking a hard stance - return to office or else.
Shannon and Brent are debating today: What are an organization's obligations to ensure that remote workers are offered the same growth opportunities as those who are in the office?
- Are they receiving the same learning opportunities?
- Is there access to the same resources and support?
- How can we better support managers with remote teams?
- How can we think differently about hybrid learning environments?
When it comes to thinking differently about remote vs in-office opportunities, what changes need to be made and how can L&D support those changes?
But before we dig into this, what’s up with pay-to-play conferences and awards!?
Shannon Tipton brings up a common frustration about being asked to participate in conferences and gain awards, but having to pay for the privilege. Those who have been in the industry for more than a few years may be aware that this happens - so now it’s time to alert those who may not be aware that this is not how to gain exposure.
So grab your drink, tune in and get ready to:
- Learn the industry’s hidden play-to-play reward system
- Why the strong push for “return to office,” is it all a conspiracy theory?
- Mismanagement of remote workers
- How we can better support the remote learner?
- How can we think differently about the structure of L&D programs for hybrid workers?
