The Remote Communicator TEMPLATE

Overview

Effective Communication Strategies for the Flexible Workplace.

A recent survey conducted by Atlas Cloud, an IT company, discovered the following from their remote workers:

  • A 10-15% decrease in information given to them by their managers.
  • 15% decline in collaboration with other colleagues.
  • Remote staff feeling ignored, alienated and isolated through reduced communication.
  • 15% of Managers and 40% of employees received insufficient training prior to the pandemic.
  • This lack of training resulted in poor policy buy-in and adoptation of new work tools.
  • This has resulted in a long term, negative impact on performance and productivity.

Remote Communication is different, it is not the same as normal inter-office exchange, it requires a new strategy. Understandably, many organisations took an incident response approach to the recent pandemic but now are finding the need to develop more effective strategies to improve remote performance.

Office-based teams have a different communication fluidity which can spark more spontaneous interaction. Remote communication is intentional and driven, often by schedule or other task drivers. It requires a greater dependence on being thoughtful and focused when using different tools and methods to ensure effective communication.

This workshop focuses on developing the right communication strategies to ensure improved cohesiveness and performance for all remote workers and managers. It covers all methods from virtual, device driven and written methods.
