Remote Tea: Shifting the way we work

What: The pandemic has had a lasting effect on the way we all work. The shift to remote work had an especially significant impact on women. Does remote work increase the wage gap between men and women? Does it lessen the chances for promotion for women and minorities?

Professor Susan Madsen joins us for this special episode of Remote Tea to discuss the impact COVID-19 had on women in the workforce. She is the Karen Haight Huntsman Endowed Professor of Leadership in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business at Utah State University. She is also the Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, which focuses on strengthening the impact of Utah girls and women through increasing college completion rates and helping girls and women find their voices and become leaders. All leaders and managers should join this discussion because Professor Madsen always has practical knowledge and tips to share.

Join us for Remote Tea, a webinar series for remote leaders, where we will discuss the various aspects of remote work and their effect on leadership styles in today’s workplace. This week, a discussion with Dr. Susan Madsen.

"My future career goal is to become certified in medical coding and become a billing specialist. I can only do one training at a time. I will be starting the medical coding class in November. Once certified, my objective is to find a remote job where I can use my medical coding skills."

ROI Partner of the month: Evan Finlinson, MRC, CRC, LVRC

I first learned about the Certified Remote Work Professional course from Trenton Willson, the USU Extension Rural Online Initiative (ROI) program coordinator when I visited Delta about a year ago. It sounded like a great opportunity for people in Millard and Juab counties, which I cover as a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. As time went on more and more people became interested in the ROI program. I have had a handful of my clients complete the course and they have all benefited from it by increasing their knowledge, skills, and finding remote jobs.

The ROI program’s remote work course gives them the skills and information they need to be successful. As my clients go through the workshops, the experience equips them with the tools and all the in’s and out’s of what they will need to know.

The best part about the ROI course is that it gives my clients self-confidence and a feeling of accomplishment. I feel their new level of self confidence is helping them become employed, which is especially important in rural Utah where good jobs are hard to find. I’d like to thank Trenton and USU Extension in providing this great program for my clients in Millard and Juab Counties.
