This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Staying Human and Happy in a Virtual World How to stay human and happy in a virtual world...sounds catchy, right? Lets face it - while co-located, it is easier to connect with others. When dispersed, there needs to be a concerted effort towards team alignment and successful outcomes. A leader's responsibility is to provide structure, guidance, and a framework. However, studies show that the way you measure a healthy and happy work environment isn't the external governance guardrails, but it's around the motivation employees feel. If we can create environments that ensure our remote employees are engaged, confident, and motivated, we will increase our ability to be competitive and deliver successful outcomes to our customers. In our session, we will build a virtual house of team collaboration and discuss 5 foundational strategies, 6 core statistics, and 2 toolkits to help you and your teams stay human and happy in a virtual world. Key takeaways Learn how we each have an opportunity to influence talent retention in spite of physical location separation Understand the social and economic benefits of making an employee feel valued Practice activities that can be deployed to drive up retention & connectivity, while working remotely
