Open Webinar: Managing Remote and International Teams

MANAGING REMOTE AND INTERNATIONAL TEAMS 

Virtual teams and flexible working programmes are now an established part of the corporate landscape and offer huge benefits to companies who manage them successfully. Virtual working can save significant amounts of time and money and provide companies with the flexibility to harness the right talent for the right projects. However, virtual teams are not always effective and many fail to meet their objectives. Often this is due to a lack of attention to the ‘human’ factors of virtual working. Lack of cultural understanding, feelings of isolation, poor communication or mistrust among team members are all common complaints.  How can managers engage with their international teams to harness the benefits of virtual working, whilst adapting their approach to avoid the pitfalls?

This 40-minute introductory webinar will focus on:

  • The challenges and benefits of remote and international teams
  • Which technology and media strategy to choose
  • The core competencies required to be an effective virtual manager 
  • Cultural sensitivity: Value and Communication style preferences
  • The crucial role of ‘trust’ when building remote relationships for effective working
  • Enhancing virtual communication and getting the most from online meetings
