We will ask for all attending to provide photo id for entry, so please have it with you when you arrive.
Spacing will be limited to 20. Once all these spots are spoken for you will have an option to join a waiting list.

If you feel at all unwell prior to the event we ask that you remain home.

Event Date: September 21, 2022
Duration – 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Presentation details:

"With distributed & remote teams becoming the norm, traditional ways of handling HR onboarding isn’t working as effectively. Issues range from visibility, to information sharing, to clarity on responsibilities, and task breakdowns. Processes to support these aspects often exist, but not having a cohesive system in place hampers teams and their ability to effectively execute them. With JSM and its powerful automations, teams can translate these processes and shared responsibilities into clearly-defined tasks and can avoid redundant data entry, missing SLAs and information context errors.”

Thank you and look forward to seeing you soon
