Description:

A successful remote team works well on their own with a clear direction from their leaders and managers. The team’s direction does not come from mere discussion of job responsibilities and deliverables during onboarding. It is about inspiring commitment through a shared understanding of important goals and its key results.

Because remote work limits your interactions, you won’t have as many opportunities to make connections with your remote workers. In this module, find simple ways to intentionally build trust and model empathy to create a remote-friendly culture for your offshore team. And explore how to involve your Filipino staff in your organization’s activities and events to integrate them with the rest of your company.

When they are clear on the importance of their work and team, performance and behavioral expectations, and feel valued just like your co-located staff, they are empowered to give their best at work every day. You lay the groundwork for a long-term happy working relationship.
