Being able to apply a toolkit of techniques and strategies to engage and motivate individuals in a remote team including building trust, agreeing objectives and holding successful 1:1s
Understanding how to adapt communications to ensure open, effective and motivational interactions with all team members, regardless of location and working patterns
Knowing how to maintain collaborative working in a remote team and encourage strong working relationships
Understanding how remote working affects different individuals, recognising the signs of tension and stress, and having techniques and tools to support individuals who are not adapting to this way of working
Developing strategies to maintain team and individual mental health and well-being

Approach & Course Outline

Approach

Participants will benefit from a course and approach designed to be responsive to their needs. We don’t like an ‘off-the-shelf’ approach, instead preferring to carry out a pre-course discovery activity to uncover what the group needs from the course. Then we adapt our course to meet these needs – no two courses are ever exactly the same.

Throughout the course, participants will benefit from a highly interactive approach, designed to be challenging but also to continually adapt and respond to the learners.

Participants will enjoy the benefits of a highly experienced ILM practitioner as their tutor on this course (see below). He provides detailed guidance, advice and feedback, supporting each individual participant towards successful achievement of this qualification.
