Module 1 : The Remote Leadership Model
Every group needs a leader. Peter Pan to the Lost Boys. Captain Kirk to the crew of the Enterprise. Gandalf to the Fellowship. But what do you do when your team isn’t together? Would Gandalf stop being a leader if the Hobbits were working remotely? Absolutely not!

Module 2 : Building Trust at a Distance
Sometimes you can’t be in the room, so you have to trust someone. Like when you leave your lunch in the breakroom. You can’t monitor it all morning, so you trust that your co-workers won’t eat your PB & J before you do. It’s a trust built on respect, understanding, and the threat of an angry email going around the office if anyone takes your lunch.

The behaviors and situations that affect employee trust
Why trust is vital when working remotely
How to build trust among your remote workers through communication, consistency, and support.
Module 3 : Remote Goal Setting
Goals are important. Without them, games of soccer would never end! There would just be a bunch of players aimlessly kicking a ball around until it got dark. Working without goals can also feel just as pointless. Especially if you’re not in the office. It’s tricky for employees to stay motivated when they’re far from their colleagues and managers and can’t directly see the end result of their efforts.

Module 4 : Engaging Remote Workers
When working remotely, it can be tempting for employees to feel like this. They’re away from the office, their co-workers, and management, and they often don’t see the results of their work, so it’s easier for them to disengage from it. But the work still needs to be done. This course will help managers detect the problems this causes and will offer ways to engage with remote workers. It’ll also give them advice for setting guardrails for remote work, so everyone feels stable and supported.

Module 5 : Remote Team Communication
Your managers don’t have to try to imitate exactly how they used to work. There are new methods of remote communication that might be more suitable to their team, such as asynchronous working. They may find it harder to build relationships or remain updated on projects when they have to communicate remotely, but there are techniques they can use to overcome those issues.
