Managing Remotely

Increasingly we are working with colleagues and team members remotely – with intact and virtual teams. Not only can team members and colleagues be thousands of miles away, making time spent together face-to-face very difficult or infrequent, team members may be working in different time zones and are influenced by other colleagues in their location.

To ensure collaborative working we need to have the skills and techniques to work and communicate virtually, manage projects remotely and maximise the use of technology to help deliver against our objectives whilst building strong and resourceful virtual teams.

By the end of the programme, participants will:

• Apply best practice approaches to communicating remotely and virtually as a manager or team leader 
• Understand why your approach needs to change when working with colleagues remotely and what you can do to connect virtually
• Support colleagues and team members remotely in an efficient and successful manner
• Use a variety of tools to communicate remotely
• Build team spirit when working remotely – whether that’s locally in a WFH (work from home) situation or across different time-zones and geographical locations
