Managing Remote Employees Training

Class Duration: 7 hours

Format: Virtual classroom live training

Managing remote employees can prove rewarding, liberating and fulfilling, or you can feel like an empty nest parent whose kids don’t stay in touch.

Building teamwork, trust and trackability are three cornerstones of effective remote management of virtual employees. Learn how to build credibility and confidence with a virtual workforce.

Training Class Goals

Micro-managing vs. micro-monitoring.
Often, the difference between resentment and resilience occurs in the subtleties of remote employee management. If virtual employees feel “Big Brother” is watching, they will naturally tend to become defensive. On the other hand, if they feel supported and know they have a safety net, positive results are likely to follow. This class will help managers learn how to:

  • Motivate remote employees
  • Create an accountability system
  • Understand the different communication needs
  • Create a tightly-knit team that stays connected and productive
