Jun 28, 2020

Maintaining motivation with a remote team

As a manager, keeping your team motivated and engaged isn’t an easy task.
And if you add remote working arrangements into the mix, it makes the situation even harder.

So how do you ensure your team continues to be productive?

How do you fill that need for social interaction?

And how do you keep everyone focused on the same goals and outcomes?
In recent times, typical working arrangements have been challenged and questioned.

So today, I have Katie Jones from CultureFi t HR on the line – and we’re talking about ways to ensure your team remains engaged. Even when working apart.
Let’s jump into the episode!
