Course Description

Supervising Off-Site Employees Who Are Out-Of-Sight ... But Not Out-Of-Mind
A One-Day Seminar
Meeting Code: KXE

This seminar is offered onsite only. The descriptions and outlines specified below are examples of the topics covered in this seminar. Actual seminar content will depend on your organization's needs. Of course, we customize the seminar's content to meet the specific needs of your organization.

For managers who want to improve communication with and increase the performance of employees they don't see day-to-day. It takes special skills to manage employees you have little or no contact with. No matter how much you put into it, it's a difficult process to really understand what's happening at a location miles and miles away.
 
Attend this intensive one-day seminar to learn how to get more from off-site employees than you ever thought possible. You'll find out how to get out-of-sight employees to follow your instructions to the letter, get staff to pull together and work as a team and keep the lines of communication flowing smoothly.
