Description

Remote and hybrid working have transformed the world of work – and managing people you don’t see every day brings extra challenges that traditional management training simply doesn’t address. Communication gets harder and more complicated. A positive team culture becomes harder to nurture. Staff wellbeing, productivity and morale all become more difficult to read and to support. Many managers find themselves doing their best with skills designed for a different era.

This carefully crafted e-learning course gives you the conceptual tools and practical insights you need to do the job well in challenging circumstances. Across eight focused lessons – supported by video material, reflective exercises and a downloadable course companion – you will explore the most significant changes shaping the modern workplace, the genuine benefits and pitfalls of remote working, the distinctive management and leadership challenges it brings and how to build a real culture of wellbeing across a distributed team.

Developed by Dr Neil Thompson, internationally respected author and educator, the course blends rigorous thinking with practical wisdom you can apply straight away. The goal is not just to help you cope with remote working, but to help your team move from surviving to thriving in a continually changing world of work.
