Remote working has many advantages, but it also comes with its own unique set of challenges. The lack of in-person interaction can lead to more misunderstandings and feelings of isolation, and you have to find new ways to meet, share ideas and collaborate.

But with a new skill set, effective workflows and an understanding of how to make the most of your available tools, you and your colleagues can thrive in your virtual workplace. This half-day, intensive CPD-accredited session will equip you with the key skills and techniques you need.

We deliver this engaging, interactive course online using the latest web technology, so you can attend no matter where you are. All you need is a computer, a headset and stable internet access.

By joining this training, you’ll also get a year’s access to our comprehensive, CPD-accredited e-learning programme The complete business writer (which would normally cost £150). This consists of 52 interactive, expert modules on effective business-writing techniques that will complement what you learn on the half-day course.

By the end of the training, you will know how to:

understand virtual-communication etiquette and tone
establish your message and choose the right channel to share it
communicate key messages clearly
inform, update and persuade with your writing
avoid misunderstandings, plug communication gaps and defuse conflict
run engaging online meetings and collaborate online
use workflows that maintain the flow of information
understand and work with different social styles.

As part of the preparation, we’ll ask you to fill in an analysis exercise which identifies your social style. The insights that this questionnaire reveals will help you understand your own drivers and needs at work, as well as to relate better to your colleagues.

We’ve been running remote-learning programmes for over ten years, training over 6,000 people online and continually refining our approach in that time. So you can be confident that this course will be as engaging and effective as one run face to face.
