Motivating remote employees: How to keep them focused, collaborative and fired up

WHY ATTEND

Remote employees are a special challenge for managers. Because you don’t see them every day, you can’t benefit from the random office interactions that allow you to take people’s temperatures and engage in the casual dialogue that sustains relationships.

So you have to go out of your way to make communication happen. And you need a plan that will allow you to stay connected with remote workers and keep them motivated and productive.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

In this session, you will:

• Discover the three most important positive motivators to focus on with remote employees.
  
• Master the art of a “weekly work rhythm” for success.
  
• Learn how what you measure matters with remote employees now more than ever.
  
• Create a plan for remote employees who are “happy, but losing steam.”
  
• Discover why “leader as problem giver” is crucial.
  
• Leverage the power of questions to keep your team focused – even in stressful situations.
  
• Learn why a “growth mindset” is crucial and how to leverage yours.
