Welcome to Remote Connect — the first ever all-digital event dedicated to building belonging around the world through remote work. In this introductory video, Remote CEO Job van der Voort sets the stage for what to expect throughout the event.

Remote is a global HR platform that helps businesses of all sizes hire, onboard, and pay employees and contractors in more than 60 countries all around the world. With the rise in remote work, companies now need to fill their open roles with the best talent, even when that talent lives in another country. Through global payroll management, localized expertise, and on-the-ground experts, Remote has created the world's most trustworthy platform for taking your team international.

Remote Connect is an exploration of what it means to do remote work well; how to tackle the challenges that come with international employment; and where the new world of work will go next. Across these many sessions, guest speakers and experts from Remote's own international teams will provide their insights and share their experiences related to topics including remote team management; international HR, including payroll and benefits; global finance, including stock options and team construction; legal challenges, including how to stay compliant when hiring in multiple countries; and community stories, bringing the voices of remote work leaders, managers, and workers from around the world together.

Thank you for joining us as we explore the new world of work together! Remote Connect is the first event of its kind, but with globally distributed teams on the rise, it won’t be the last. Enjoy this introduction and the collection of videos to follow as you explore the many areas that make up the future of a better life-work balance.
