Course Description

Monitoring productivity in a hybrid workplace is a cause of concern for many companies. Leadership and management may feel like they can’t accurately measure the team’s productivity when some—or all—of the team engages in remote work. These fears can cause managers to obsess over the team’s productivity while ignoring other important aspects of their daily responsibilities. This course will help you understand productivity in the hybrid workplace and how to set your hybrid employees up for success. In a hybrid environment, communication skills become even more important to keep the entire team on track. You’ll learn some communication strategies to keep remote employees connected and engaged, as well as strategies for hybrid connection that mimic the office environment.

Transitioning to the hybrid model can present challenges for new employees. To support the transition, it’s important that organizations consider how they approach productivity, communication, and collaboration. In this course, you’ll learn some approaches to productivity management and accountability, as well as some effective communication strategies and tools that hybrid teams use. Managing teams across time zones and workplaces means rethinking traditional strategies for collaboration.
