MANAGING OFFSITE EMPLOYEES : Staying Connected with a Dispersed Workforce ( Two 2-hour live webinar sessions ) LS
The workforce is changing rapidly . An increasing number of employees work offsite , by choice ( theirs or their employer ’ s ) or by necessity . A few years ago , 34 million Americans worked remotely , at least occasionally , and that number is expected to jump to 63 million by the middle of this decade . Some of your employees may work at home , in close proximity to the onsite team . Others may be scattered around the country or the globe . Given the increasingly global nature of today ’ s organizations — as well as improvements in technology that facilitate virtual collaboration and a workforce that insists on more flexibility and independence — this trend is likely to keep gaining momentum .
In this seminar , we will :
• Discuss the benefits and challenges of offsite working relationships for employees , managers , and organizations
• Explain the importance of successfully managing offsite employees
• Identify the factors and tools that must be in place for an offsite employee to be effective
• Describe the role that trust and communication play in the success of an offsite relationship
• Employ strategies that help offsite employees stay on track and that deal with common problems faced by managers
• Follow a set of best practices for successfully managing offsite employees
