Description
The Managing Remote or Flexible Workers Training Course is designed for people at all levels with specific responsibility for managing those working at home or in a remote location.
The cost case for flexible working is easy to convey, savings on building costs, transport etc. – we do not want managers and staff to feel that these are the only drivers
Flexible working has huge benefits for staff, but these can be hampered by manager’s views and corporate policy/procedures. It is for managers to remove these barriers. Some are attitudinal, some are procedural – all are under managerial control.
For staff, the issues of an overlaid home/work environment can be new and daunting. Hidden issues need to be brought out and discussed, shared and understood through facilitated sessions. When will I work? How will I be measured? Will it affect progression?
This training course addresses all these issues and more.
You will be awarded 6 CPD points upon completion of this course.
