Do you, or your employees, work outside of a traditional office? That might mean working from home on occasional mornings or being completely based at your local coffee shop. Perhaps you supervise sales staff in a large geographic area or are responsible for a team of global technology professionals. Mobile workforces are a growing and permanent trend and management strategies need to keep pace. 

This course will provide the basics of managing your mobile workforce—from supervisory tools to leadership techniques. Learn how to align job descriptions to virtual positions, how to lead meetings in the cloud, and how to share documents with your remote employees. We will give you tools for engaging your remote team, including building trust and conveying your team culture in the absence of a shared space. We will focus on advanced communication strategies such as coaching in a virtual environment and identifying and adapting your leadership style to a remote work team.
