Which, in turn, boosts retention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drives employee efficiency:<\/strong> When employees are tied to deliverables instead of hours, they\u2019re able to work during the times that suit them best and make them feel more productive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But don\u2019t you feel that everything sounds too idyllic?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, remote work seems to be offering both employees and employers several benefits, so what\u2019s the catch? Well, it\u2019s no other than <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/solutions\/remote-workforce-training\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote training<\/a><\/strong>. You see, employee training still relies heavily on in-office participation, and businesses don\u2019t seem to be able to manage remote training the right way.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><br \/>\nLooking for an all-in-one solution to launch your virtual training easily?<\/strong><br \/>\nTry out TalentLMS and build, track, and deliver your training with the latest audiovisual tools.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/create\/aff:bl\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CTA.png\" alt=\"Create my TalentLMS forever-free account\" width=\"291\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>A list of the remote team training mistakes to avoid<\/h2>\n<p>Remote training hasn\u2019t been around for long compared to traditional, on-site training. However, a few common pitfalls have already emerged. From making open communication and feedback difficult, to ignoring the need for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/solutions\/continuous-training-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continuous training<\/a><\/strong> and modern learning tools, <strong>these mistakes can make or break your training efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how you can avoid them.<\/p>\n<h3>1. Making team communication a chore<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, a remote team doesn\u2019t come with the interaction classroom teams do. In a virtual class, the physical distance among the remote staff can make communication a challenge during training.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To avoid misunderstandings, <a href=\"https:\/\/youteam.io\/blog\/open-communication-for-trust-in-remote-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remote teams need to establish open communication<\/a> <\/strong>through channels that are simple and easy to use. Because if they are complex and inconsistent, your remote employees won\u2019t be motivated to address their questions and concerns.<\/p>\n<p>During remote training, discussion forums and direct messaging can make communication smooth and effortless. But to make training even more interactive, there are two words you need to remember: video conferencing. Leverage the power of webinars and video demonstrations to create a real sense of team spirit and collaboration. This way, your team will be more attentive, and <strong>your training will turn into a more productive process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2. Not keeping your company culture alive<\/h3>\n<p>Remote employees (just like all employees) become more engaged when they feel emotionally and socially connected to their company and team. And this is precisely why <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/company-culture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">organizational culture<\/a><\/strong> is key to uniting employees under a common set of behaviors, values, and goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, use your training as an opportunity to integrate your remote team into your culture.<\/strong> One way to do it would be to include teamwork opportunities in your eLearning courses in the form of group assignments or problem-solving activities. <strong>Give your team a common cause<\/strong>, encourage them to work together, and build a culture of collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>This simple tip will make your remote employees feel like part of the bigger team, the brand, and the organization as well as motivated and productive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14757 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/remote-team-training.png\" alt=\"Remote team training 101: How to train your remote employees\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/remote-team-training.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/remote-team-training-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/remote-team-training-768x201.png 768w, https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/remote-team-training-1024x268.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Viewing training as a one-and-done affair<\/h3>\n<p>With the fourth industrial revolution upon us, almost every industry today is in desperate need of additional skills to keep up. <strong>Continuous, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/solutions\/continuous-training-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ongoing training<\/a> can address this challenge for your in-house, but, mostly, your remote employees.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You see, apart from formal training, in-office employees benefit from social learning, such as learning through informal interactions with coworkers. By not being in the office, remote teams tend to miss out on a fair amount of this casual, on-the-job education. And the only way to prevent remote teams from losing out on social learning is to apply ongoing training systems.<\/p>\n<p>Create and maintain a bank of job aids and learning materials like short videos or infographics. Offer regular \u201cmeet-ups\u201d in the form of webinars or video conferences. <strong>This way, remote employees will feel like part of your team and able to discuss new concepts and ideas.<\/strong> Don\u2019t forget that collaboration and working toward shared goals, keep the team spirit alive.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Neglecting the importance of feedback<\/h3>\n<p>If you want your remote team to feel valued, you need to give them the opportunity to share their opinions and experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make feedback a core part of your training strategy. As a matter of fact, employee feedback can help a team improve on so many levels:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It sheds light on the learners\u2019 needs<\/li>\n<li>It highlights processes and systems in the organization that could be improved<\/li>\n<li>It offers valuable insight on possible improvements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/questions-post-training-evaluation-survey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Create a post-training evaluation survey<\/a> <\/strong>and get your remote employees to complete it after their training has finished. This little step will both have your remote team feel like they\u2019re being heard and help you become a better trainer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><br \/>\nWant to become a better trainer? We\u2019ve got you covered.<\/strong><br \/>\nDeliver your training, and create the perfect post-training evaluation survey online with TalentLMS<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/create\/aff:bl\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/CTA.png\" alt=\"Create my TalentLMS forever-free account\" width=\"291\" height=\"70\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>5. Having unclear training goals and expectations<\/h3>\n<p>History shows that, as a species, we are goal-oriented. Point someone in the right direction, and they\u2019ll start working their way toward this direction. <strong>This what you need to do to make your employees more engaged in their training<\/strong>, work, and self-development.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hraddict.com\/managing-virtual-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Managing a remote workforce<\/a> should come with clear and well-documented expectations, mostly because remote workers don\u2019t get those friendly reminders or clarifications in-office employees do.<\/p>\n<p>Arrange regular one-on-one <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/training-goals-business-strategy-alignment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">goal-setting<\/a><\/strong> sessions with each team member to set personal development goals. In such meetings, you can also discuss KPIs, long-term goals, benchmarks, and short-term milestones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But do it regularly.<\/strong> Zoom in on a quick catch-up call about goals, and discuss progress on a weekly or biweekly basis so that they stay on track.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Underestimating the power of remote team training tools<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Trying to replace face-to-face training with simple video calls<\/strong>, won\u2019t help you when you\u2019re training remote employees.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, there\u2019s a variety of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/blog\/best-employee-training-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online training software tools<\/a><\/strong> that meet both the employer\u2019s and the employees\u2019 needs. <strong>The most important tool to invest in is a high-quality LMS<\/strong> that comes with rich features that suit various learning and communication styles. From mobile training and microlearning to interactive training, an LMS can make or break your remote team training initiative.<\/p>\n<p>TalentLMS, for example, comes with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.talentlms.com\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>TalentLibrary&#x2122;<\/strong><\/a>, a collection of ready-made courses on soft skills.
