Techniques to successfully manage hybrid teams
The way we work is evolving. While some team members work from home, others will be office-based. Creating the right dynamic among teams presents managers with great challenges.
Maintaining team members’ sense of ‘belonging’, ensuring that they feel supported and equipped to carry out their roles and responsibilities effectively are central to managing hybrid teams.
Managers must now work out how to set down markers for performance, defining consensus & decision-making strategies and creating opportunities for feedback and staff development. It can be a big ask.
About the course
In the hybrid working model managers need to ensure that staff are aware of working practices so that they can continue to be productive and to thrive. Wherever they’re working from, teams need to manage their time and collaborate, so providing them the framework for doing that is essential.
This programme, delivered online and interactively in 2 x 3-hour sessions, focuses on developing key management skills and communication techniques to create cohesive and effective working relations within dispersed teams. The sessions will provide participants with practical notes and exercises, along with the opportunity for self-reflection and suggestions for further reading.
