AtlantiCare Leader Handbook

MANAGING REMOTE/HYBRID TEAMS

Leading a remote or hybrid team at AtlantiCare presents unique challenges and opportunities. To ensure success, leaders must foster clear communication, maintain engagement, and provide the necessary support to keep all team members aligned and productive, regardless of their location.

Key Strategies

Clear Communication: Set expectations for communication using platforms like Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Regular check-ins and team meetings keep everyone aligned.

Set Clear Goals: Define SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) and ensure everyone understands their roles and objectives.

Foster Engagement: Encourage connection through virtual team-building activities and informal check-ins to maintain team morale.

Use Technology: Leverage tools like Teams, Zoom, and OneDrive for collaboration, and ensure all team members are comfortable using them.

Monitor Performance and Well-Being: Track progress regularly and ensure team members are supported, both professionally and personally, to avoid burnout.

Promote Flexibility and Trust: Focus on outcomes, not hours, allowing flexibility while ensuring alignment with project needs.
