Executive Consulting on Remote Worker Incentive Programs
REMOTE TUCSON
Our team spent months researching remote worker incentive programs and developing a laser-focused strategy. Let us help you so you don't have to.
Our approach is cost effective, easy to implement, and resulted in adding a total of 2.2 million dollars to our city. As part of this Executive Consultation package your team will get an in-depth kick-off, programmatic review and design assistance, and a progress report out. You will also have access to our templates, tools, measurement instruments.
