After a conversation to explore and understand the specific learning objectives, we devised a programme that addressed the following challenges:

• How can I create a simultaneous learning experience for my dispersed management group?
• How can I ensure consistency of experience across my hybrid workforce?
• What tools can I give my managers to help them support hybrid team performance?
• How can we offer ongoing support for my team’s mental health and wellbeing?

The solution

A series of 3 x 90 minutes virtual bite size workshops, run over a 6 week period. The workshops were scheduled at different times of the day to allow managers in different time zones to attend. Each interactive and highly practical workshop focused on a specific tool with delegates given multiple opportunities for skills practice. The three tools were:

1. The workflow check-in
2. The touchline check in
3. The wellbeing check in

The programme was supported by two Action Learning workshops, facilitated by a 360 trainer, giving managers an opportunity to share progress and identify and work through ongoing challenges.

Results

The managers were given a practical toolkit to help them support their teams’ performance with confidence. They especially valued the opportunity to come back together to review progress in the Action Learning Workshops.
