Boulder, CO, March 29, 2016—FlexJobs and Remote.co today announced they will host the first ever TRaD* Works Conference (*Telecommuting, Remote, and Distributed) in Washington, D.C. on June 8 -10, 2016. With estimates projecting that 50 percent of people will work remotely by 2020, telecommuting, remote, and distributed work is disrupting the traditional brick and mortar work model. The TRaD Works Conference will equip businesses with actionable insights into how they can support and optimize remote work programs to maximize the economic, social, health, and environmental benefits of remote work.
“Remote work programs give companies and organizations the opportunity to embrace the best of workplace technology to help advance and benefit their businesses, especially when the remote work programs are executed with intention and forethought,” said Sara Sutton Fell, founder and CEO of FlexJobs and Remote.co. “The goal of The TRaD Works Conference is to gather those who are at the forefront of the future of work--as well as those interested in learning more--to share knowledge and help all types of organizations advance their telecommuting, remote, and distributed work efforts.”
Conference speakers so far include leaders from Dell, ADP, Anthem, Automattic, CNN, SAP, the U.S. Department of Labor, and many others. Speakers, panels, and interactive workshops will address various topics related to the entire life cycle of remote work, such as how it can save organizations money, help attract top talent and increase candidate pools, and increase employee productivity, engagement, and satisfaction. For example:
The ROI for the Economic Benefits of Remote Work
How Millennials and Future Generations are Shaping Remote Work
Marketing and Branding your Flex
Hiring and Recruiting Remote Workers
How to Build a Case for Remote Work Internally
