Managing Off-Site Employees
Critical communication and management how-to’s for ensuring off-site employees are motivated and performing at their peak

You can attend FREE with STAR12 membership - Get more info.



Program Description:

Managing employees is difficult – managing off-site employees is twice as hard! Get the specialized skills you need to effectively manage employees from a distance.

You deal with tremendous obstacles when it comes to managing employees you rarely (and sometimes never) see face-to-face. From technology issues to personnel law, you face challenges other managers don’t have to think about. Not to mention, you’re under intense pressure to keep your remote employees on-target and ahead of the game. It takes a unique manager with specialized skills to get the job the done!

Uncover the latest strategies for motivating, coaching, and boosting productivity among your off-site employees!
Today’s technology makes telecommuting or working from a remote location easier than ever – with individuals and teams collaborating daily from the road, from home, at customer sites, and even from other countries. But, it also presents many more challenges for managers, just like you, whose jobs depend on the productivity of people they see infrequently – or not at all!

In just one day, you’ll learn how to use today’s technologies (like e-mail, tele- and videoconferencing) to your advantage. You’ll discover leadership skills that keep your remote employees motivated, on task, and on time with every project, even though you’re not there. You’ll also learn how to:

  • Monitor the actions of off-site employees without coming off like a tyrant
  • Identify red flags that indicate trouble – even when you’re 1,000 miles away
  • Create a self-sufficient team that runs like clockwork while still keeping yourself completely “in the loop”
  • Establish a mutual feeling of trust and respect that sends morale – and productivity – soaring
  • Remain 100% compliant with key employment laws that trip up other managers and can lead to costly lawsuits, judgments, and fines!

You have the power to break through the barriers that halt off-site employees’ success.
When you leave this session, you’ll be armed with powerful techniques, valuable tools, and more “dos and don’ts” than you can count. You’ll be a manager with your finger on the pulse of everything going on around you – and someone who can always be counted on when times get rough! Don’t let this amazing learning opportunity pass you by. Enroll today!
