Leading Virtual Teams Webinar

Overview

Leading and being responsible for a virtual team was a skill not many of us possessed ahead of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We are now looking at supporting and managing our teams in a whole new way.

While for some it will be easy for others it can be a challenge.

Balancing taking care of your staff’s wellbeing, managing new feelings and reactions as well as trying to keep the business running can be an art.

This webinar is designed to help managers to be effective in their role while managing teams remotely, maintaining a balance and creating a collaborative, high performing workforce.
