Healthy hybrid teams
A toolkit for managers // open and in-house options
Over the last few years, hybrid and remote teams have become the norm for many organisations. The potential up-sides are obvious: flexibility, convenience and a better work/life balance. But the lack of regular in-person contact creates a range of new challenges too. From drift and disengagement to meeting overload, managers must be equipped to recognise and deal with potential pitfalls, and to ensure they are leading a healthy and productive hybrid team.
This virtual workshop provides participants with a clear set of tools to help them build a sense of shared identity and purpose, increase engagement and cohesiveness, and build strong and efficient working relationships across their team. It also addresses issues around onboarding new members, building trust and effective communication.
Led by an experienced leadership expert, this live and interactive two-hour training session focuses on practical techniques with instant real-world application. Individual delegates can join an open course, and for larger groups we offer tailored in-house virtual deliveries.

Next open session: 10 November at 2pm
