Collaborating in Hybrid & Remote Environments
You work from home or hybrid, and yet communication, follow-up and team spirit remain a struggle. In this in-company workshop you learn to collaborate and lead more effectively remotely. The workshop lasts one day, consists of 2 half-days and is for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch, English or French.
Do you recognise this?
You have a team meeting on Monday with half at home and half in the office. Those in the room talk over each other, and the colleague on the screen raises his hand which no one sees.
The tools work, but the connection is missing. You wonder if you follow up enough with people remotely, and if they still feel they belong to the team.
You have learned to work with the new technologies for online collaboration. Yet you are left with questions about:
- remote communication and leadership;
- follow-up and feedback;
- personal contact with colleagues;
- collaboration and team spirit.
Those who do not know how to get the best out of a hybrid environment see this reflected in productivity and well-being at work. Those two are top priorities right now.
Why does remote collaboration feel so slow?
Online collaboration requires different agreements than a chat at the coffee machine. What used to happen naturally, a quick question, a look, a joke, must now happen consciously. If no one does that, every message gets more weight than intended.
The result is that follow-up runs stiffly and feedback is absent. People work next to each other instead of with each other, and the team spirit dilutes. That costs energy, especially for those who lead the team and want to keep everything together.
It does not have to stay this way. Remote collaboration is a skill with its own habits, and you can learn it.
How do you build a team that also works remotely?
It starts with clear communication and leadership in an online environment, with agreements that make sense for everyone, at home or in the office.
Our coaches know this new way of working from the teams they guide. In a day of 2 half-days you explore the challenges of remote working, effective communication, follow-up and feedback, and team spirit and handy tools.
We work from the way your team collaborates now, and you go home with agreements that you can use immediately. This is how you build towards what you can do below after the training.
