Managing Remote Teams

About the course

Note this course is split into 2 sessions on 2 days. Delegates are required to attend both sessions. Each day consists of a 3 hour session.

This live interactive webinar is aimed at all managers looking for practical tools and techniques to engage and motivate their teams to be productive whilst working from home. This course focuses on the person-centric approach to managing people with an emphasis on the awareness of self, awareness of others and how to build trusting relationships.

This is a virtual live interactive course where we ask all participants to turn on their cameras and audio so that full interaction and discussions can take place. We aim to recreate, as far as we can, the face to face course through the use of virtual break out rooms and interactive exercises.
