ENGAGING REMOTE STAFF IN THE AGE OF COVID: SUCCESS NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE Even before COVID-19, institutions had staff working in locations other than their primary office. Some institutions began shifting employees to remote work sites to cut expenses, improve productivity and work-life balance, retain top talent, or offer on-location customer service within other departments across campus. After months of shelter-in-place, we have all made adjustments for remote work, some of which could remain in place for months to come out of necessity or discovering the positives of our new work environment. Today’s technology enables staff to work from any location while keeping in touch with the rest of their team, but how can you ensure your team is working effectively when they are in different locations? In this session, we will explore the complexities of engaging a team that works remotely, especially with unique and potentially long term remote situations. We will discuss the benefits and ways to troubleshoot management concerns, including onboarding, training and mentoring. We will discuss the uniqueness of COVID-related remote work, share ideas for encouraging productivity and team work, discuss the use of technology and talk about how to use meetings to effectively increase engagement. Participants will have an opportunity to share what works and discuss challenges with colleagues.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Participants will learn about and share examples of strategies for working with colleagues who are situated in other locations. • Participants will come away with ideas to take back and implement in their own teams. PREREQUISITES Participants will want experience managing people.
