Objectives of the training
Remote working requires considerable proficiency with digital tools as well as smarter ways of managing working relationships. More and more people are taking on these challenges, but often they do so without fully understanding the risks involved nor the potential gains that can be made when it's done right. In this course, we take a complete look at how to adapt to working with colleagues at a distance while maintaining a sense of creativity, trust, and team spirit. We also look at strategies for better communication, and the tools that can help us stay connected and in sync.Targeted audience
