Facilitating Meetings in a Virtual Environment

Female mentor explaining online project to colleague

Duration Half a day – 1 day

Overview

Technology is another vital platform in the way we work and live. In particular, it is giving employees more freedom to work from anywhere, and employers the opportunity to access talent from anywhere in the world.

As remote teams become more prevalent, it’s critical for team leaders to learn how to engage their people and maximise online meetings and team sessions.

This course, delivered by Glass Rock Solutions, is designed to help teams and leaders alike to understand the inherent differences between communicating and collaborating in an online environment and face to face. It is much more challenging to structure remote meetings, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute and to keep team members engaged.

This course teaches vital skills for facilitating meetings in a virtual environment to ensure that teams stay connected, participate fully and ensure that the sessions are productive and valuable.

Target Audience

This course is designed for leaders and teams who work virtually or work with colleagues who work in virtual environments.
