Managing Hybrid Teams - CMI Level 7
Today’s typical workforce is no longer co-located, or office based. Overnight, team meetings & 1-2-1’s have become virtual. It’s become vital for today’s team leader to understand the impact of this, both positive & negative.
As a leader of a hybrid workforce, you are required to build cohesion among teams, engage colleagues and strengthen a shared culture. This programme will provide insight and practical tools for questions such as; how can you have effective performance conversations? What does the latest research show is the best office/home ratio? How to use the technology to it best? What does a modern communication strategy look like? And perhaps the most important question of all, how do you build and maintain the culture you want when you don’t all get together any more?
