Learn how to manage your remote workers!

"Working remotely," "teleworker," "scattered workforce," and "virtual office" are just some of the words used to describe employees who work outside the traditional office setting. Many managers already supervise at least one remote employee, whether they're in a building down the street or an office halfway around the world. Managers who don't yet have a teleworker, soon will.

Modern technology allows unprecedented access to the world's most skilled labor and offers new ways for workers to stay on the job. Whether it's an employee based in China, a worker keeping up during maternity leave, or a staff member opting for partial retirement by consulting from home, remote employees will sustain your business. For better or for worse, this new remote world will challenge your managerial abilities to build and maintain good relationships.

According to Forbes.com, "Many employees who work virtually say they frequently feel isolated and don't know if they're valued by their companies. Others say they don't feel like they're part of a team." It is this common complaint that brought Ragan Management Resources and consultant Carol A. Hacker together for this Web event designed to give you essential information to bridge the distance gap.

In just 75 minutes, you'll learn how to improve your "at a distance" people skills and discover techniques and tactics for staying connected with your remote workforce.
