Overview

Managing people is one of the trickiest roles any of us can undertake. In the context of hybrid or remote working, it can be even more of a challenge. This new way of working requires both tried and tested approaches to leading and working with your team, as well as new ideas, including empowering your colleagues, providing extra support in all areas of activity and interaction, and building in as much flexibility as possible.

We will look at how to build trust, how to stay ahead of the game in terms of managing your team’s workload, influence productivity with regular channels of communication, and how to foster the spirit of collaborative effort when everyone is located remotely from each other, or in a hybrid mixture of remote and office-based locations.

Who is the seminar designed for?

This workshop will be helpful to managers at all levels who want to ensure that their distributed ways of working and their teams remain productive and feel supported. It is also designed for anyone working as part of a team, who wishes to ensure that they and their colleagues are working together and supporting each other to achieve their goals in remote and hybrid contexts.
