Time management: telecommuting and hybrid work schedules

Working from home is a wonderful opportunity. It offers more flexibility and can eliminate a daily commute. It can also help you feel more relaxed and closer to those that you care about. It also presents a lot of challenges, especially when it comes to time management. In this training, you will learn strategies to better manage your time and stay focused while at work, while maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

Change management

Caring for our people is an important part of successfully adapting, and we’ll learn what to expect
from them during change and some techniques for helping people be effective while they are coming to
terms with their new world. A critical step in getting ahead of the change is making use of any benefits it
offers: we’ll spend some time identifying opportunities in the face of change.

• Understand what the change means for their people and organization
• Clarify high-value objectives for the high-change period
• Guide teams in planning the organizational shifts that must accompany significant change
• Clarify roles and responsibilities during high-change periods
• Remove barriers preventing the adoption of new tools and methods
• Communicate engagingly about the new way of working

Engaging remote employees

Many supervisors and managers are finding themselves managing remote employees and teams for the first time ever. One of the biggest challenges is keeping folks engaged and productive. The additional challenge of work/life balance from home is one that leaders can help their employees manage. Opportunities to engage remote staff are at the heart of this 90-minute webinar that explores the challenges of keeping folks engaged while providing tools and best practices to help do so.
