Remote Working Consultancy and Training Services
It can be challenging to manage people who are not in the same place at the same time. There is also the challenge of learning how to use communications and collaborative technologies to manage remote working staff.
To manage a remote team effectively requires new understandings, greater self-awareness and new practices. It is essential for managers to develop appropriate management styles and effective communication. Managers need to build and maintain relationships, expectations, performance and trust.
