For:
For middle and upper-level managers, who, because of social distancing, have to
ensure productive work-from-home.
Challenge:
The role of a manager is full of challenges even under ordinary circumstances. But we will remember Spring 2020 for a long time as being far from the ordinary.
COVID-19 virus has changed our daily routines. Social distancing makes people work remotely. Some experience productivity issues, others find it difficult to keep motivation or emotional balance.
No doubts about it, productivity and motivation are on the shortlist of their duties, but nobody has prepared managers to sustain working remotely for longer periods.
How to manage these unexpected challenges and to stay in balance?
We can find the answer to the challenge in more detailed questions. How to ensure individual productivity for remote workers? How to keep motivation and team’s morale? How to plan team collaboration? How to implement remote supervision and control?
Answers to these and other questions will be given in the series of webinars “Remote manager”.
