Strengthen team productivity and collaboration with training for remote and hybrid working.
The early 2020s saw a once-in-a-lifetime shift in our approach to work. Now employees are looking for a mix of workplace and home working, and more flexibility in their working routines. Organisational leaders and need to find ways to balance these expectations with the needs of the business.
You may be concerned about whether teams will be successful at collaborating and communicating in a hybrid model. At the same time, you’re probably aware that remote working has improved productivity and wellbeing for many people.
Because the hybrid workplace is a more complex working landscape it requires new knowledge, behaviours, and skills for employees, at all levels, to navigate effectively. For many managers, the remote-work revolution is an important moment to re-skill and take a more intentional approach to their role.
Our remote and hybrid training sessions are designed to develop productivity, collaboration, and support work-life balance.
💡 All our hybrid & remote training sessions are two hours long, and delivered live by our expert facilitators, either at your workplace or remotely. Each interactive session is suitable for groups of 4 - 15 attendees.

Training courses for working well remotely.
In the post-pandemic world, many companies are continuing to embrace the hybrid or remote work model.
While this shift provides flexibility, cost savings, and increased employee autonomy, it also presents new challenges. One obstacle is providing training and development opportunities for remote or hybrid employees, to best ensure their success and growth at your company
Fortunately, we now host all 70+ of our live training courses online, including our suite of training focused specifically on working remotely.
For employees, our specialised training can help them address the unique challenges of remote or hybrid work. Our bitesize courses are designed to highlight the key behaviours that work well whether collaborating in-person or remotely, while addressing the unique nuances that require additional consideration.
Because all our courses are live and highly interactive, they’re also a valuable opportunity for remote workers to feel more connected to their colleagues, and collaboratively identify they issues they’re facing in a safe environment. This helps reduce isolation, improve wellbeing, and builds a greater sense of community within your organisation. (In fact, many course attendees say that the empathetic conversations we facilitate with coworkers are among the most valuable aspects of our training sessions.)
Developing a more engaged workforce in the remote & hybrid era is a critical advantage. Our training sessions create an open forum for discussion and provide useful models for teams to reflect on how their collective working style is and isn’t working for them. Whether it’s negotiating ‘days in the office’, scheduling meetings, or documenting work so collaboration can happen asynchronously, we set the stage for open and honest conversations about when, where and how your team works together.
Training for managers of distributed teams.
As organizations continue to adopt hybrid or remote work models, managers are increasingly finding themselves in new and unfamiliar territory.
But managing a remote or hybrid workforce is not a whole new ballgame requires a combination of classic, time-tested skills, such as the ability to calibrate one’s leadership style based on the the experience of the team. But applying these skills at a distance demands a more intentional and deliberate approach, with some subtle twists. Our training course for managers of remote, hybrid and distributed teams aims to help managers connect the old way of doing things to a new way of working together.
One key change is the need for increased communication and transparency. In a remote or hybrid work environment, it can be easy for employees to feel disconnected from their colleagues and managers, leading to feelings of isolation and disengagement. To counter this, managers need to learn to host regular check-ins and maintain clear communication channels.
Another important consideration is the need for increased trust and autonomy. In a traditional office setting, managers may rely heavily on direct observation and oversight to ensure their employees are working effectively. In a remote or hybrid environment, however, this is often not feasible, and managers must learn to enable their employees to work independently and take ownership of their work. This may require setting clear expectations and goals, providing regular feedback, and offering additional support and resources as needed.
Managers may also need to adapt their approach to team building and collaboration. In a remote or hybrid work environment, team members may not have the opportunity to interact with one another as frequently or informally as they would in an office setting. To combat this, managers need to devise ways to build team identity and mutual trust – at a distance.
Finally, managers need to consider the specific issues posed by remote work, such as time zone differences, home distractions, and the need for work-life balance. This may require additional flexibility and support from managers, such as offering flexible work schedules or providing resources for mental health and wellness.
