Managing Remote Employees Training
Our managing people remotely training gives you the strategies and ideas to manage in the post Covid-19 era. This means giving you the tools to successfully manage people when they are working at home.
Managing people can be hard enough, but working from home or remotely adds an extra layer of complexity, which this training helps to resolve. As many organisations have been forced to adjust to their people working from home, the challenges of managing remotely have been experienced by many managers for the first time.
This managing remote employees training workshop focuses on the differences of managing people remotely and builds on the principles of people management. The result is a set of ideas and strategies which you can use immediately.
This is a practical session that looks at the reality of managing people remotely. We lwork on the real life challenges experienced when people are working from home, for both the employee and the manager.
Strategies, tips and ideas are developed to help managers develop an individual action plan for each of their employees.

Virtual Training
This training is run as a virtual workshop. We have been delivering training virtually for over 10 years. Whilst the virtual certainly has its challenges, our observation is that the learning outcomes are very similar to live classroom sessions. This means that the learning outputs can be achieved successfully with vrtual training.

Our style of interactive workshops even in the virtual world works very well. Our participants appreciate this approach especially in the virtual world, whihc can be see in the feedback we receive from participants and clients. Take a look at some of our most recent reviews below.

Corporate Coaching
I have now had the opportunity to work with Martin Chapman through two separate training and coaching programmes, and both experiences have been incredibly valuable.
The first gave us a group open forum to discuss a range of management themes and real-world challenges. I found the sessions insightful, practical and directly applicable to my role, particularly when establishing and developing our Quality Assurance team.
My more recent one to one coaching with Martin has been focused on corporate management and navigating senior stakeholder relationships. This has been especially valuable in developing my confidence and communication style. Martin’s coaching around assertive and persuasive communication has helped me become more comfortable being direct, holding others constructively to account and driving greater consistency in project delivery.
Martin is an excellent coach. He is approachable, supportive and encouraging, and his calm, structured style creates an environment where you can openly explore challenges and think critically about the best way forward. Importantly, he guides you towards finding the answer yourself rather than simply providing it, which makes the learning far more meaningful, sustainable and memorable.
I would highly recommend Martin for any individuals or teams looking to develop their management capability, strengthen stakeholder relationships, improve team dynamics or support positive cultural change.
We truly appreciate the effort, energy, and flexibility you brought to the programme, and we look forward to working with you again soon.
I wanted to take a moment to thank you for designing and delivering such an excellent programme for the IT Helpdesk team.
It’s clear that a lot of thought and expertise went into both the content and delivery. The sessions were engaging, practical, and highly relevant to the team’s needs, which made a real impact.
We truly appreciate the effort, energy, and flexibility you brought to the programme, and we look forward to working with you again soon.
Many thanks once again.

Genuinely one of the best training sessions I have attended!
I can honestly say the training sessions delivered by Martin were one of the most valuable professional development experiences I’ve had. Martin has a rare ability to truly understand the needs of his audience and tailor his training accordingly — nothing felt generic or off-the-shelf. He covered some of the most essential skills in leadership, including conflict resolution and how to deliver constructive feedback in a way that motivates rather than demoralises — and he did so in a way that was practical, relatable, and immediately applicable. His delivery is engaging, his knowledge is exceptional, and he breaks down concepts in a way thay makes it easy to grasp and put into action. The concepts he taught are things I’ll carry with me and apply throughout my career. I cannot rate the training content and Martin as a trainer highly enough!
Management Team Training
Martin was incredibly insightful and helpful to myself and the other managers currently establishing our new QA team / Function. His guided discussions proved beneficial in allowing us to identify issues and points that needed addressing that were not on our radar and immediately we have already seen the benefit of applying his teachings in our day to day management of our team. Thank you very much Martin
Well conducted workshop with intended results
Martin filled the role of educator with marvellous presence and sensitivity. The material was well prepared, and he did a wonderful job of evoking participation with the group. I found the workshop to be meaningful and effective in improving team communication and enforcing a collaboratively established definition of what assertiveness means in our company culture.
