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.

Professional Business Communication training

March 27, 2025

This class is 3 hours but it didn’t feel like it. It helped that the class is interactive and each person gets a chance to speak at one time or another. Martin did a great job keeping us engaged. I like the way he explained the topics and I genuinenly walked away with some great pointers regarding communication styles.
