Session Description

When managing a team of remote employees, how do you know if you have a healthy team?  When you don't see your team all of the time, it can be tough to discover team issues. However, there are many symptoms that can indicate signs of trouble. If identified early enough and corrected with the right management prescription, you can heal a team's problem areas. This session will cover some of the key symptoms you can experience with your team and their corresponding remedies. Learn how to mend the issues and get your team back in peak performance. Many of us have recently seen our teams restructured, with many employees working remotely during the pandemic. This new dynamic, where teams no longer all work together in the same physical office, can cause issues if management is not given the techniques and tools needed to best manage from a distance. This session will cover those issues that can arise and what managers can do to create a healthier and happier team.
