Managing remote workers training is a one day course which concentrates on the guidelines, the communication and how to manage them
We recently read that - "Managers must put in extra effort to cultivate a positive team dynamic and ensure remote workers feel connected to other colleagues and to the business overall. It requires a “proactive” approach by the manager". Shouldn't managers be doing this anyway? The move to managing remote workers and a flexible team has been a slow one. It was probably on the agenda for senior management and leadership teams, throughout the country, to discuss and think about towards the end of 2019 and early 2020 but forced to be more widespread during the 2020 pandemic. The lack of a trusting environment is probably the cause of this and this needs to be addressed before team can truly be remote. Our one day managing a remote and flexible team training course will certainly help your management and leadership team come to terms with the "new way" of working and help them organise an effective communication and accountability system to enable team members to work efficiently and successfully from home (where possible). Contact one of the team for further information and our prices. With respect to building trust, that takes a little longer. We have created an Action Focused Leadership and Management Program that holds you management and leadership teams accountable for achieving their part of the vision. It creates a positive high performance culture inline with your vision and core values |

What is flexible working
‘Flexible and remote working’ describes a type of
working arrangement which gives a degree of flexibility on how long, where,
when and at what times employees work
Flexible working practices include:
The list
above isn't exhaustive. Flexible working can include other practices for example
employee self-rostering, shift-swapping, or taking time off for training.
What isn’t it
The benefits of managing remote workers and a flexible team
Flexible
working is on the rise, giving employees flexibility on where, when and the
hours they work (and with new technology managing remote workers is becoming easier). It's traditionally been associated with the needs of parents
and carers, but increasingly organisations are recognising the business
benefits of a more flexible way of working.
In this
session we discuss managing remote workers and flexible working as a strategic tool an organisation can use
to improve performance and productivity. It outlines the different types of
flexible working arrangements available, including part-time and compressed
hours, mobile working and career breaks. It looks at the potential benefits of
flexible working, both direct and indirect. Finally, it offers the legal
perspective and some ideas on how flexible working can be implemented, how
common barriers can be overcome, and how HR can support staff opting for more
flexible working arrangements.
Flexible
working arrangements can play a vital role in an organisation's performance.
It’s HR‘s remit to identify how flexible working options can benefit both the
organisation and individuals, as well as working with the business, and in
particular line managers, to put the options in place. In particular, HR should
consider the behavioural and attitudinal barriers to flexible working, and
promote mutual trust in the flexible working arrangements adopted, supported
with appropriate people management systems and processes.
Managing remote workers and flexible working has become excessively associated with the needs of parents and carers to the detriment of its positive role in enabling employers to manage their business more effectively. While the statutory right to request flexible working has been extended to all employees, for some years, many employers have been proactively looking at opportunities to find win-win solutions that recognise the needs of employees and the business, and the direct and indirect benefits of flexible working provision. HR can make a strong case for using flexibility as a strategic tool to support improved individual and business performance through greater diversity, brand competitiveness and increased levels of engagement from workers at all levels.
