Virtual work has become the cornerstone for many companies seeking to hire global talent to boost their core competencies. It has also been on the rise due to its perceived flexibility and work-life benefits. A report highlighted that an estimated 32.6 million Americans work remotely, which equates to about 22% of the workforce. This trend not only signifies the preference for remote work but also the changing workplace dynamics in modern businesses. However, with an increasing number of employees opting for remote work, it can take time for managers and leaders to manage productivity. In-person meetings, brainstorming sessions, huddles and physical interactions are all powerful tools that can help keep teams aligned on company goals but when you take away the physical aspect of work, things can get tricky. Luckily, companies that develop the right frameworks can get ahead in extracting maximum efficiency from remote workers. And that is exactly what this course will help you to do.

Over a series of short video lectures, you will be equipped with the essential skills needed to thrive in virtual team environments.

You will understand how to monitor progress effectively, provide constructive feedback and maintain team motivation from a distance. In addition, you will learn to practice clear, confident and effective virtual communication, ensuring that all team interactions are productive and that your message is always understood. Finally we will also introduce you to time management techniques specifically tailored for remote work, helping you optimise your productivity, manage competing priorities and ensure that deadlines are met with ease.
