Overview
Managing employees who work from home is hard when you have firm deliverables and deadlines and can't see your team every day. This 60-minute webinar on managing remote employees shares research-based tips to keep performance on track.
The session was created when many employers moved staff home during the coronavirus outbreak, and its advice applies to any remote or telecommuting arrangement. You'll review the benefits of a remote workforce, the potential pitfalls and the signs of disengagement.
You'll also learn how to build a culture of trust and accountability, use technology to bridge the visual gap, balance face-to-face, phone and remote work, decide what to measure, and whether to keep remote work once a crisis ends.
Why attend: Many managers worry whether remote employees are really working, how the team will collaborate on customer deliverables, and whether people are distracted or job hunting. This session shows how to limit lost productivity and keep trust, bonding, collaboration and accountability strong when you can't see people in the office. It suits HR managers and line managers at every level, from CEOs and VPs to middle managers and supervisors.
