Working Remotely- Short Course

Sneak Peek

Self Paced 20-hour course- learn about working remotely.

Understand how to make working remotely in your business with this self-paced online course in working remotely. You will understand all of the considerations for organising and managing staff in remote working conditions, whilst remaining productive and profitable.

Since working remotely is likely to be something that will continue to be something that companies embrace as part of a working culture, many businesses are looking at ways they can adapt to ensure working remotely does not interfere with the daily operation or profitability of their business. While there are some businesses that require on-site labour (primary industries, production), many aspects of secondary and service industries can be completed in a remote environment. Indeed, larger companies with multiple offices have been using remote work solutions for decades.
