Overview

In today's increasingly mobile workforce, leading virtual teams is an essential skill in your management arsenal. You might ask yourself, how do I gain the benefits of a wider talent pool without sacrificing company culture and face-to-face communication? With the best practices and foreknowledge of common challenges, you can achieve more with remote teams!

Even if your company has never embraced remote work options, because of COVID-19, it has probably become part of your company's culture both now and continuing into the future.

Cultivating a positive culture is always a challenge, but remote work can add an additional layer of complexity because it's more difficult for dispersed workforces to unite under one vision. Paired with proper strategy and open lines of communication, the right set of digital tools can fuel a positive culture that boosts employee satisfaction and encourages every user to reach peak performance.

New virtual silos are built as people form their own independent routines and habits. Plus, you can no longer rely on in-person meetings, unplanned check-ins, and impromptu work sessions to drive the conversation. Managing a remote team requires a really thoughtful, dedicated approach to planning out every aspect of management, from projects to mentorship.

In this webinar, we discuss challenges and best practices for supporting a remote workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. You'll get ideas to implement at your organization to keep your team connected, focused, and motivated while working remotely.
