Managing and Engaging Remote Employees/Virtual Teams/Telecommuting: How to Keep Teams Connected from AFAR

Managing remote employees brings its own challenges. Studies show that virtual team building is harder: informal leaders emerge less easily, genuine dialogue is tougher, and misunderstandings escalate faster.

Leaders of virtual teams also face cultural differences in business protocol, decision-making, attitudes to authority, the concept of time, negotiation styles and acceptable emotional reactions. This 60-minute webinar covers remote management best practices: creating a virtual workplace strategy and telecommuting policy, communicating clearly, building trust and relationships, planning and leading virtual meetings, using technology, and managing performance across time zones and cultures.
