Best Practices for Leading Remote Teams
ALL ABOARD! The remote team train has left the station....are your virtual teams on board?
According to the World Economic Forum, remote work is one of the biggest drivers of transformation in the workplace. Among the pandemic, technology, rising operational costs, and increasing globalization, remote teaming has increased 800% in the last five years alone.
During the pandemic, companies launched head-first into establishing remote teams and virtual workplaces, with barely a backwards glance at the unique challenges that exist for both leaders and team members.
Perhaps leading remotely is going smoothly for your leaders, but chances are you’ve had some bumps along the way. If managed well, you can expect remote workers and virtual teams to be highly engaged and accountable, as well as successful at building relationships, brainstorming, goal setting and planning. However, remote team challenges can quickly derail results and create high levels of disengagement if not addressed.
Understanding how to maintain virtual team productivity, connectedness and engagement is a tall order for leaders. With the support of this program, your leaders will learn how to establish best practices, incorporate agreements and use communication tools that work!
