People In Aid in association with IAWG present a one-day
Successful Distance Management Workshop
Thursday 7th October 2010
Nairobi, Kenya
The growing trends towards decentralisation, delivering through partners as well as flexible working had always meant that managing and working effectively at a distance was paramount to success. However, whilst in the past most agencies had the luxury of field visits and cross-region travel to compliment and build staff relationships, today’s organisations see budget restrictions and travel freezes.
Organisations are stretched, both in terms of resources and where these resources are located. Keeping everyone together with common goals and shared communications can be challenging, especially when team members are at a distance.
Join us for a workshop developed to provide you with skills and tools to effectively work with and manage people from a distance.
Through an interactive session you will learn:
· How to communicate better with remote team members and ensure common understanding
· How to develop and maintain trusting relationships at a distance
· What successful distance teams do, the support they get from their organisation and structural considerations
By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of the issues and have developed an action plan for taking the learning back into their organisations.
Every participant will receive a comprehensive manual on managing at a distance, which has been recently updated and is worth worth GBP30
