Product Details:
Working remotely is quickly becoming an industry standard, as recent Gallup studies reveal that the percentage of U.S. workers who have worked remotely (at least one day a month from home) has increased to 300% over the past 20 years.
And while there is little doubt to the perks and advantages in working remotely, managing employees who don’t report to the office also comes with a set of unique challenges.
Remote teams may find it more difficult to establish rapport and trust without the daily personal interactions that employees in the office environment encounter. The differences and variety in hardware platforms and communication tools make decision-making and collaboration challenging. In addition to these interpersonal barriers, virtual teams must learn to manage different time zones and languages, cultural expectations and more!
So how do you develop strong teams and build rapport and collaboration when your team doesn’t share office space?
In this program, Wayne Turmel, the co-founder of The Remote Leadership Institute, will teach you actionable strategies to create trust and strong relationships in your virtual team. Pulling from 20 years of experience educating organizations around the world, Wayne will show you unique and effective techniques and tips that lead to successful teamwork and communication no matter where your team members are located. You’ll also learn how to overcome common workplace issues that often create disharmony amongst your team.
