Course Overview
Geographically dispersed team members are increasingly common in the modern workplace.
How do you overcome the challenges of supervising remote employees and managing remote teams? What steps should you take to build trust, and develop open lines of communication? How should you establish routines? How do you help remote workers feel part of a team?
These are all important questions to be considered by anyone who manages remote workers and teams.
Managers must put in extra effort to cultivate a positive team dynamic and ensure remote workers feel connected to other colleagues and to the business overall. It requires a “proactive” approach by the manager.
Our Managing Remote Teams course has been designed for managers wishing to enhance and develop remote team dynamics. This course gives managers the skills and techniques needed to motivate teams who are based in various locations, to deliver their best.
Please note, this course can be delivered as virtual instructor led training (VILT), face to face, or it can be delivered with a blend of both formats. We will customise the content and duration in line with your learning and development requirements.
