Studies show that nearly half of managers find it difficult to manage people remotely. Over the last two years, many employees were hired remotely and may not have met their coworkers in person. It is important to build trust in a work environment. One way to build trust is to increase accountability.

This is especially vital in a decentralized workplace, because employees are assured each team member is pulling their weight without relying on others to get the work done for them. So, managers can by holding people to a common expectation by clearly defining the company’s goals. This program is valid for 2.75 PDCs for the SHRM-CP® or SHRM-SCP®.
