Course contents
This training course is broken down into 3 sections
- 1 Creating a Productive Workspace
- 2 Structure
- 3 Communication
SECTION 1
When it comes to setting up a productive workspace, there isn’t a precise method that works for everyone. But there are some things you can do to help maximise your productivity and remain focussed throughout the day. We’ll consider some of these as we move through this section.
SECTION 2
With your workspace set up and ready to go, the next step is to create some structure. In this section, we will look at how to plan your working day, prioritising tasks, physical, mental and social boundaries, and how to manage distractions.
SECTION 3
Possibly the most difficult challenge for any remote worker is adapting to a new way of communicating with their co-workers. By utilising technology such as video calls and collaborative software, people can stay connected and projects and workflows can continue running just as smoothly.
About this course
This Effective Remote Working training course covers guidance and tips on how to manage time effectively, set boundaries and identify your most productive times of the day.
It provides an overview of the importance of creating structure to your working day and creating a productive workspace. These include a basic understanding of DSE, manual handling and even employee mental health.
Being a remote worker doesn’t mean you are detached from the office, as there are a range of communication methods that ensure you can be reached and be heard. The skills you will learn in this course will help you as a remote worker carry out your role safely and effectively at home or from any alternative locations from the office.
Happy and productive employees will achieve greater job satisfaction so providing the tools to work effectively from home is vital.

Excellent guidelines
Clearly delivered points to help me achieve effective remote working.
Good but may go against company policy
The training is generally quite good for remote working but doesn't account for company policies that may contradict some of the content - e.g. encouraging employees to work from a cafe without acknowledging that the company policy may prohibit this due to data security concerns or various other reasons. It would be better if such statements were accompanied by a caveat of "if your company allows...". Due to a number of such definitive statements, this training is also unlikely to be useful for hybrid working arrangements.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that “It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare at work of all his employees”. It is important to understand that a business is responsible for the health and safety of its employees whether they are office or home-based.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations requires an employer to carry out risk assessments regardless of the place of work. It is the employer who must identify and control these risks.
Business benefits
Employees want a good work-life balance and remote working can help them achieve this more easily.
Avoiding the daily commute or having the ability to pick the kids up from school are some of the reasons employees seek more flexible working.
There are benefits for employers too for offering remote working opportunities, including increased productivity, reduced absenteeism and more engaged staff.
Part of achieving these advantages is by providing your staff with the tools to be productive and communicate effectively. That’s why our Effective Remote Working Training is a must for any business with remote workers, when the main office is not their base.
