Best Practices for leading Hybrid & Virtual teams
During the pandemic, companies launched head-first into establishing both hybrid and remote teams, with barely a backwards glance at the unique challenges that exist for both leaders and team members. In addition to the pandemic, technology, rising operational costs, and increasing globalization caused hybrid and remote teaming to increase 800% in the last five years alone.
Hybrid and remote team challenges can quickly derail results and create high levels of disengagement if not addressed. Understanding how to maintain team productivity, connectedness and engagement is a tall order for leaders. With the support of this program, managers and leaders will learn how to establish best practices, create agreements, build relationships and use communication tools that work!
In Best Practices for Leading Hybrid & Remote Teams, we’ll focus on the foundations for success for hybrid/virtual/ remote leaders so they can:
- Be clear about the differences between traditional and hybrid teams
- Understand what it takes to create a highly engaged and accountable team
- Develop regular and effective team communication methods that work
- Improve and build relationships with and among hybrid and remote team members
- Establish agreements with hybrid and remote workers and between team members to maintain team productivity and connectedness
