With the advent of digital technologies and in a post-COVID world, almost all managers are now faced with the challenge of managing staff based in multiple locations. It can be tough to keep team spirit high, monitor progress and build relationships when people are not located together, having to support and develop people from afar.  

The challenges are similar when managing a multidisciplinary team with team members that have different skills and perspectives – even more so when team members are also remote, as they often are in these teams!
