It’s a new world we are living in. Many organizations have been forced to adapt to the hybrid style of some employees working remotely, and some in the physical office. With that in mind, managers have seen their fair share of challenges when it comes to keeping certain members of their team motivated and engaged. Working remotely contains its own set of challenges, mainly distractions, feelings of isolation, and/or a lack of clear communication with co-workers and management.
Today’s leaders are not just concerned about their workers completing the necessary tasks the organizations require of them, but also, today's managers are struggling to maintain a healthy workload for his/her team members, so they do not begin to experience burnout. Clear communication is perhaps the single greatest factor that will lead to success for those managing remotely, but how do we establish that?
P.A. Douglas Training has focused its training on building trust and rapport between both boss and worker, and co-worker to co-worker. With that trust being established, we can then explore our differing personalities and formulate an appropriate structure to better work cohesively within your given organization.
With a strong emphasis on managing your time and your stress, we will lead you through multiple sessions over two days, all while relating the topics to the given individual behavioural styles. Similarly with our conflict management and motivation sessions, we will continuously refer to what our individual behavioral styles are, and how we can better interact with each other.
Strategic Hybrid Management Skills
Success in your present and future management responsibilities is dependent on several self-management skills. By improving your skills at strategic execution, managing projects, priorities, and remote employees, and deadlines more effectively, while deflecting job-related stress, you will gain a deeper sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.

By knowing your style and another’s style, each will learn how to better communicate with one another, furthermore, you will learn to adapt and build upon each other’s strengths and improve on their weaknesses, in all areas of their individual working style.
