HRANS is pleased to partner with BC HRMA on this learning opportunity.
Collaboration is about people working together to get things done. Increasingly, collaboration happens online. Managers are asked to coach and consult with remote staff. Teams operate virtually. Employees work from home. Working virtually offers new challenges: How to stay focused on people and relationships? How to get everyone on the same 'cultural' page? What are the best tools to use? How do we overcome technological barriers and improve online efficiency? Attendees will walk away with insights, tips, and how-to's, for better virtual communication and collaboration. Learning Objectives - Increase employee/stakeholder trust and engagement levels through virtual interactions
- Increase work productivity and performance through virtual collaboration
- Raise satisfaction levels associated with virtual meeting facilitation and participation
- Expand adoption of virtual collaboration processes and tools
- Reduce time and cost to resolve problems
