Videoconferencing Webinars

Join TANDBERG’s Jan Zanetis as she chats with Adora Svitak, renowned author, teacher, literacy mentor, and prodigy. Eleven year old Adora has been working with students in person and over video for years to share her writing while inspiring them to create their own stories and poems. Participants will learn tips on how to motivate their own students, whether they be young children or full grown teachers. Learn how she makes the most of technology tools to engage students and get her lessons to come across at a distance. Most of all, participants will be amazed at the confidence and perception of Adora, a young lady that is quite at home on CNN, Oprah, or in your classroom. Join us and be inspired!

Moderator: Rick Snyder, President, TANDBERG Americas
Please join moderator Rick Snyder and panelists for an interactive webinar on how companies are harnessing the power of green technologies like video conferencing and telepresence to achieve environmental goals, increase brand loyalty and attract top talent. Panelists will discuss specific examples from their own companies and share best practices for measuring ROI.

All signs are pointing to a rising interest in telecommuting! According to the Journal of Corporate Recruiting, by 2009 one quarter of the world’s workforce (approximately 850 million people) will work remotely. In order to attract and retain today’s top talent, organizations now need to provide flexible work environments. As more companies adopt telecommuting programs, they are finding that video conferencing has become an essential tool for their home-based employees.

Video-enabled communications allows telecommuters and other remote workers to maintain a visual connection with their workplace and to feel less removed from the center of activity. Video also builds a 90% higher level of trust and reduces confusion or misunderstandings by 81% which is more than other form of communication*! And with the soaring gas prices and environmental concerns, less time on the road is more money in your workers’ pocket and is doing less damage to the environment.

This is not yesterday’s work from home experience. This is visual telecommuting…where natural, face-to-face interaction is a critical part of success!

However, every dispersed team faces critical communication issues. If a remote worker doesn't understand a new procedure or a traveling executive is concerned a message was misconstrued, the consequences can create stressful situations and reduce productivity.

You're invited to join TANDBERG's Scott Feinberg for an event highlighting the issues facing dispersed teams:

On October 30 – 1pm Eastern / 12pm Central / 10am Pacific, Dr. Robert C. Chandler, Chair of the Communication Division of the Center for Communication and Business at Pepperdine University, discusses the role of communication in stressful situations, crises or organizational emergencies. Communications tend to break down in situations with heightened stress, and Dr. Chandler will discuss the critical issues faced by dispersed teams and how video communication is being used to address a number of them
