Supporting a remote workforce during the COVID-19 outbreak

A tool kit for leading a healthy, happy team

Sudden, anxiety-inducing change is undeniably hard, and leaders need to support their people in learning how to cope with the new normal of isolation and social distancing, caring for family, and an uncertain economy. Most organisations don’t teach their leaders how to manage staff virtually and it is easy for remote workers to feel isolated, neglected and de-motivated. And none of us have a playbook on how to lead during the pandemic. We need to double-down our leadership to support a teams during this challenging time. This program provides leaders with strategies for managing a remote workforce, including communication skills, ideas to build team cohesion and engagement, OHS&W and technology-use considerations and the need to understand and promote mental health and wellbeing.
