Discipline from a Distance: How to Encourage Positive Employee Behavior Remotely
Most organizations have found themselves working remotely in the last few months – and for at least a little while, remote work is our new normal.
That means it’s more important than ever to ensure that all your employees are motivated, on-task, and productive - even though they’re working from home.
The best way to curb poor performance and avoid expensive turnover? Effective discipline.
When you equip your managers with techniques that transform disciplinary tactics into catalysts for positive outcomes, you can improve employee performance.
This 75-minute workshop will teach managers a two-pronged approach that uses discipline as a positive force while protecting the organization from unproductive employees.
The result: employees with the ability to self-discipline, which means a strong workforce that’s equipped to handle remote work – however long it may last.
You’ll be able to inspire employees to:
- Voluntarily set – and stick to – their working hours and daily goals
- Maintain productivity levels even when working offsite
- Meet (and exceed) reasonable expectations for output
- And more!

Learn actionable answers to your most pressing questions about remote discipline, including:
- How do you manage the behavior of employees in a distributed setting?

When you leave this workshop, you’ll be equipped with:
- Communication plans that stop poor performance in its tracks
- Proven ways to inspire employees to proactively self-discipline
