Event details

Flexible work is here to stay, and we should embrace it! Many companies – like Upstart – have adopted digital first work models, offering more convenience, autonomy, and productivity for employees.

Join this session to hear Upstarters share the lessons they've learned in navigating a variety of work environments and how they've adapted to keep themselves (and their teams!) motivated and productive regardless of their work location.

Whether you've been working remotely for a while or you're looking for a new job, tune in to learn how to:

  • Adopt and embrace change in the workplace
  • Improve your work environment (digital or in person)
  • Make the most of your workday & maximize productivity
  • Increase your visibility in a digital setting 
  • Manage communication and maintain feedback
  • Feel more connected to your virtual colleagues
  • Prevent proximity bias among teams spread across different work environments and locations

Panelists will also share why Upstart's culture makes the company a haven for top talent. If you come to realize working in a digital first workforce is what's best for you personally and professionally, discover the career opportunities waiting for you at Upstart.


This event will be recorded and posted here following the event. We'll also email the recording directly to everyone who registers. By registering, you agree to share your email and profile information with the participating company.
