Looking for training courses you can quickly deploy to help your team successfully work and manage remotely?

When stay-at-home orders were issued across the country, we added new courses to our off-the-shelf courseware library that cover being more productive at home, managing a remote team, communicating effectively with remote colleagues, and more.

Working from home might seem like a dream at first, but it presents unique challenges for employees and managers alike.

According to a survey done by Training Industry Magazine, learning leaders’ top challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic are:

  • Engagement
  • Compliance
  • 100% Remote Workforce
  • Security

Engaging off-the-shelf courses can help address most of those challenges. Our courses feature up-to-date content and designs, plus tons of videos and interactive knowledge checks, In addition, you can have them customized with your company’s branding if needed.

Courses also include transcripts for all videos, making the content accessible to everyone.

Managers may worry about productivity and getting things done, but remote employees also worry about:

  • Loneliness
  • Distractions at home
  • Staying Motivated
  • Unplugging after work
  • Communication with their team
  • Reliable wifi
  • Timezones

The right training and support can help employees prepare to work remotely and have a smoother adjustment.

In this webinar, d'Artagnan Peterson walked attendees through courses from our Preparing to Successfully Work From Home course.

Some key takeaways from the course include setting up your workspace, how to focus despite home distractions, and communicating effectively with your manager and colleagues. We also offer a Remote Leadership Toolkit specifically for managers. Topics include building trust in a virtual environment, maximizing virtual tools, how to plan and lead virtual meetings, coaching remote employees, and more.
