There has been a surge in the incidence of remote work and the apparent persistence of these new work arrangements. However, how remote work arrangements impact employee satisfaction and employee retention remains unclear. Are employees more satisfied with permanent remote work arrangements or occasionally working remotely? How do remote working arrangements affect employee retention?

In this essential webinar we learn about new research on the link between remote work arrangements and employee satisfaction from Jason Schloetzer, an associate professor at Georgetown McDonough and founder of the McDonough School's Future of Work Initiative.

The webinar explores:

Data-driven insights into the link between remote work arrangements and employee satisfaction;
The impact of remote work on employees' intention to leave the organization;
How the quality of employees' working relationships affects the benefits of working remotely;
The importance of remote work relative to other aspects of corporate culture for employee satisfaction;
The first step to leveraging remote work arrangements for boosting employee satisfaction.

This webinar is for managers at all levels of the organization who are grappling with questions about remote work policies and their impact on employee satisfaction and retention.
