Fair vs. Equal: Supporting Team Needs in a WFH World

When we talk about "equal," we assume a one-size-fits-all approach – that everyone receives the same thing, or is treated exactly the same way. But the reality is, our team members all have different needs, challenges, opportunities, and goals. And in a remote work environment, those individual needs have become illuminated in new ways. That's why we need to start talking about what is fair when it comes to supporting our team members and helping them be successful during this time. What a new parent needs when she returns from maternity leave looks different than a family with school-aged children and remote learning schedules, a single person living with roommates, or someone caring for an elderly relative. And seasoned business leaders have different goals and challenges than someone who is just starting out on their career path. Join us as leaders discuss how they've adapted to a remote work environment, how they support their team members’ professional and personal growth, and more.
