It seems like every aspect of life is changing every second right now. So how do you embrace change? How do you set your company culture up in such a way where change isn’t feared, but viewed as an opportunity for growth and development? On this episode of the CFO Weekly podcast, we talked with Jill Barnard, CFO at Televerde about -Managing for change, -How her company went fully remote within 24 hours -Why so many companies stick their heads in the sand and wait for the challenges to pass by. by CFO Weekly
