This comprehensive program delves into the specific nuances of managing performance across dispersed teams, from setting clear outcomes-based goals and providing continuous feedback to ensuring equitable recognition and facilitating growth in a flexible context. Participants will gain actionable strategies for leveraging digital tools, fostering psychological safety, and building strong manager-employee relationships that transcend physical distance.
