Overview
Being a manager or supervisor is tough even for the most seasoned professionals. Additionally, supervising off-site employees provides its own set of unique challenges.
Communication can be more difficult, accountability levels can fall and team conflicts can easily arise. If you find yourself managing employees from a distance, you need to learn how to keep your team on task, even when you can't be there to watch over everyone.

- Are you faced with the challenge of evaluating the performance and work habits of those you rarely see?
