Working with Remote and Hybrid Teams

Keep your team motivated, productive and cohesive, wherever they’re working

Oliver Deacon

Setting the scene

In a rapidly evolving environment, effectively leading teams that are split between remote working and onsite in office working is for the foreseeable future a critical skill for finance leaders.

As finance teams start to transition from home working to a few days in the office, team motivation, productivity, transparency and cohesion can be materially impacted.

Effective communication and business partnering can be heavily impacted by an interrupted flow of information and reduced morale, as a result of either virtual working or teams split between home and office.
