Why this Course is Important

“How to manage some or all of your team that are working from home. Manage and lead them stay motivated, focused and productive.”

While countless employees are embracing the benefits of working from home either full time or part-time due to Covid 19, from a manager’s perspective, not having everyone in your team all working together in one place has some significant downsides to consider. After all, how can a busy manager like you manage all of your team’s day-to-day tasks and keep people motivated when everyone is dispersed across a city or state?

Being responsible for, and leading a team you aren’t seeing face-to-face each day is an important skill that every manager needs regardless of what industry they’re in. Do you have people within your team working from home?

The Managing Employees Who Work from Home or Remotely (M) session will help everyone in a management or leadership role who has a team to manage learn how to bring their people together and to work cohesively, even if everyone is working outside of their normal team environment.
