As businesses increasingly turn to technology to handle both internal and external communications, the notion of a centralized workforce that meets face-to-face on a daily basis is becoming less common. Companies are embracing the idea of employing remote workers—form both near and far—who can provide a diverse range of skills and viewpoints without being bound by location.
While there are many advantages to remote work for both the company and the individual, managers must be aware of the challenges that can arise when employing remote workers. This course explores the benefits and drawbacks of remote work and provides managers with tips for helping their remote workers stay connected and motivated.
Average weekly commitment: 3+ hours. Total course commitment: 12+ hours.
