Course Description

If you manage a remote team today, then you'll probably continue to do so for the rest of your career.
If you don't, then you probably will soon.
The notion of remote working in the accounting industry isn't unheard of anymore. As technology continues to transform the industry, the easy availability of a larger talent pool has come within grasp. More and more accounting firms have embraced flexible approaches of hiring by including offshore staff in their teams. Boundaries between offshore & onshore teams are getting blurred by the day. Whether your staff is working from Miami or Mumbai, Boston or Bangalore or New Delhi or New York, it barely makes a difference, provided they have the required expertise and knowledge.
Due to the pandemic, many firms have had to embrace a 100% remote workforce in a very quick time. And now, as the risk of catching COVID 19 still looms, many of your local team members are not returning to work from ‘the office' again.
Every organization needs a precise monitoring system to ensure employees meet goals, as well as to identify and resolve issues such as stiff competition, increasing costs of capital investment, demanding higher pay scales, complicated legalities, etc. to build a competent team.

The title says Manage Remote Team, but I didn't realize it was focusing on Offshore Staffing. I was looking at local staffing ideas that I only partially received.
