LA Management of an Accounting Practice (MAP): Navigating CPA Firm Success During COVID-19 Tax Season: What You Need to Know to Manage Remote Workers
During the last year, COVID-19 has turned our world upside down. We scrambled to make everything work but are discovering that some changes, like remote work, are here to stay.
This new business model has us asking ourselves how we can recruit, retain, develop, advance our people when we may never see them in person.
In this presentation, we’ll consider how this new work model changes our firms and our Human Resources processes and priorities. We’ll look at best practices that can help us and all our people today and into the future.
Our discussion will include:
Recruiting – Finding the right candidate no matter where they live
- How recruiting works when you may never meet in person
- What new things do we need to consider in the selection process?
Onboarding – Good onboarding is a predictor of high retention
- Getting creative about introducing remote employees
- Opportunities to get everyone involved
Engagement – Staying connected and productive
- How we need to change our communication practices with remote workers
- Creating community in cyberspace
Evaluation – New ways to measure performance
- What is essential for the firm’s success
- Big annual evaluations may be a thing of the past
Career Development – Helping people and the firm reach their goals
- Connecting the dots between the individual and organization in different ways
- Looking to the future for new core competencies
The presentation is designed to be a catalyst for new ideas to help create a vibrant, engaged workforce wherever they are. The good news is that everything applies to people who are still in your office.
