Course details
Whatever organisation someone works in, they are bound to collaborate with colleagues who work at home, across the globe or at different locations and times. In the twenty-first century ‘teleworking’ is no longer a perk, but a business imperative. Yet many professionals are unprepared for the challenges – and rewards – of international, flexible and remote working, and unaware of the processes and tools that can maximise the motivation and productivity of virtual and mobile teams.
International and Remote Working enables the learner to:
- Understand how international, flexible and remote working scenarios differ from traditional organisational approaches
- Adapt their professional working style for virtual and mobile teams
- Identify and apply practical techniques and tools to successfully manage ‘at a distance’ colleagues
- Communicate effectively across cultures and physical or time barriers
- Maximise the potential of remote-working staff
