The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the switch to remote working for many organisations.

There can be many benefits to working from home, both for the employer (cost savings, increased productivity) and for the employee (increased time and flexibility). However, the new ways of working also bring new challenges for managers and teams.

Some of the common challenges reported by managers include, managing communication, maintaining boundaries and work/life balance, and motivating remote workers.  Managers need to be proactive in addressing these challenges – encouraging open communication, finding new ways of motivating people and fostering a culture of trust and accountability.

This new BHT Training course will begin to explore the skills, techniques and tools you need to become a confident and effective remote manager.

This course will support you to: 

• recognise the challenges that employees can experience having a remote manager
