Managing a Remote Team
Managing people you do not see every day calls for deliberate habits. This short course covers setting clear expectations and outcomes, building communication rhythms that work, and managing through trust rather than surveillance. You will also look at fairness between remote and office-based staff, spotting wellbeing issues at a distance, onboarding remote starters, choosing collaboration tools and the health and safety duties that still apply when people work from home.
