In the last 2 years People In Aid have delivered the Successful Distance Management Workshop to over 100 participants, both as an open and an in-house programme. Due to unprecedented demand for it worldwide, we are now offering you and your colleagues the opportunity to partake in the training in Melbourne, Australia, on 22nd April 2010.
The workshop considers the opportunities and challenges posed by managing people effectively at a distance by looking at human relationships and how they are developed; the differences and similarities between people that make this more or less difficult and compares developing relationships with and without regular face-to-face contact. Workshop participants explore their experiences and lessons learned, and identify practical tools and techniques for developing effective working relationships across different locations along with action planning for success back in the working environment.
Our aim is to enable and encourage managers and HR professionals to be more pro-active in managing people effectively at a distance. We offer a platform for learning through research reviews, case studies of good practice and personal experience. We do not aim to provide all the answers or to offer a single “best practice” solution that will work for all organisations. Rather we hope to stimulate debate within agencies to take the research techniques that have been used both here and in the workshop and use them to explore further, to learn from each other’s experiences and develop solutions that are appropriate to individual circumstances.
Every participant will also receive a comprehensive handbook on distance
