It is becoming increasingly rare in today’s business climate for all team members to be located centrally or working from a single office. Whether it is satellite offices, team members working at home, or offsite third party vendors, the workforce of today is more than likely dispersed among a variety of offices in separate locations. In this interactive online course, we will examine the factors that necessitate a remote and often globally distributed workforce. We will also discuss best practices for managing offsite teams and pitfalls to avoid in the process.

  • Describe the factors that contribute to the need for a remote workforce
  • Explain the advantages offered by a globally distributed workforce
  • Describe the challenges of global workforce management
  • List best practices for global workforce management
