MANAGING A REMOTE TEAM

Tailored to your needs. This course can also be delivered face-to-face by one of our experienced and engaging trainers.

WHAT DOES THIS COURSE COVER?

When you’re in the same office as your team, many management and leadership tasks/functions happen smoothly and automatically. However, this is thrown into sharp focus when you have to manage remotely. Managers suddenly realise how difficult it can be to oversee productivity and morale without the benefits of direct supervision and face-to-face contact. And if some team members are in the office and some are at home, ie hybrid teams, there can be added complications.  

Remote managers must know how to plan and encourage coordinated independent working, as well as how to support those struggling to adapt. This live online training session provides a toolkit of techniques and processes to help them do just that. After completing this course, delegates will feel more confident in their ability to succeed as effective and efficient managers of remote teams.

• Identify current challenges of remote management
