Techniques, tools and examples to maintain the communication and efficiency of the teams working remotely: In this webinar, the EADA professor Ramon Costa will present different practical examples to improve the efficiency of the teams in a remote environment. He will explain to us which are the most efficient digital technologies, the methodologies that work best and how to establish synergies at a distance.

The ERTE: labor measures against the Covid-19: EADA professor Jordi Costa will explain what the Temporary Employment Regulation Files (ERTE) are and in what sense they represent one of the best alternatives for companies to avoid future layoffs.

Emotional Help Desk: The founder of New Mindset Ainhoa ​​Fornós will give us several recommendations to reset our mindset. We had to work remotely at a time where it was still just an idea for the future. This step has meant a lot of logistical hardships for many of us (working with children at home, coordinating tablet schedules because there is not one per person, seeking silence and concentration, creating new home office routines ...). This webinar will provide tips to better manage the current situation.

He will also introduce the strategic role that Human Resources professionals have to implement these agile methodologies in the organization.

Big DataAccelerate your sales after Covid-19 thanks to Marketing Analytics and Big Data: The companies that will overcome the current crisis with less difficulty will be those that know how to take advantage of the new opportunities that arise.

The company's strategy against the Covid-19: 10 keys to prepare a crash plan: All companies will have to change their strategy to face the new situation derived from Covid-19. What aspects should they take into account? How should they review their value chain to respond to new needs and constraints? EADA professor Joan Miquel Piqué will reflect on this.

Restarting the business after Covid-19: Once the Covid-19 pandemic has been brought under control, companies still suffer the impact of the crisis. EADA professor Ferran Núñez will analyse the great challenge that companies will have, how to face it and how this global phenomenon relates to the VUCA concept.
