Building and Managing Remote Teams Course
Leading teams when people work in different locations
The Building and Managing Remote Teams course addresses the particular challenges managers can face when employees do not share the same physical workplace.
Without regular face-to-face contact, managers may need to think differently about communication, collaboration, performance management and maintaining a sense of connection within the team. Participants will consider how clear expectations and appropriate communication can help prevent misunderstandings and ensure employees remain informed and involved.
Maintaining trust, engagement and performance
The course explores practical approaches for building trust, supporting collaboration and maintaining team relationships when people work remotely or in hybrid arrangements.
Participants will consider how to balance appropriate management oversight with individual autonomy and how technology and regular communication can support effective teamwork without creating unnecessary meetings or interruptions.
