I am curious to learn how you are developing your managers in this new world of remote workers. I am responsible for enhancing our manager's strategy as we continue to grow and scale our company. I would love to hear advice on manager's office hours, platforms you use that work for you, and what you are doing from a learning/training development for these managers. Do you have a roadmap for new managers? How do you measure the ROI on these initiatives?
