These are challenging times for any organisation. 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.
For organisations working across international borders, this can be even more complex. Developing meaningful workplace relationships at a far whilst taking into account cultural differences can be a huge challenge.
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. More and more staff are working from home or mobile offices and technology is changing all the time. Organisations are increasingly concerned about their environmental impact, so new approaches need to be developed and embraced.
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
• When and where technology can help
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 also receive a comprehensive handbook on distance
