Key Challenges Managers Face in Hybrid & Remote Work
💬 Communication Barriers & Misalignment
Remote and hybrid work can distort interactions, leading to misunderstandings, lack of clarity, and disengagement.
⚡ Difficult Conversations & Conflict Management
Managers often struggle with performance issues, giving feedback, and handling conflict in virtual spaces.
🔄 Lack of Accountability & Delegation Struggles
Without clear frameworks for responsibility, ownership, and goal-setting, performance can suffer.
🚀 Engagement, Trust & Collaboration Issues
Remote work amplifies traditional workplace challenges, making it harder to build trust, connection, and team cohesion.
📉 Business Risks of Poor Leadership in Remote Teams
High employee turnover → Increased recruitment costs & loss of talent
Low engagement & resistance to change → Reduced innovation & adaptability
Blame culture & lack of ownership → Reduced team effectiveness
Burnout & mental health challenges → Increased absenteeism & performance decline

Research & Evidence: Why Behavioural Training Matters for Remote Leadership
📊 The International Labour Organization (ILO) (2021) found that managers overseeing remote teams struggle with trust, feedback, and engagement, highlighting the need for results-based approaches and regular diagnostic assessments.
📉 Eurofound (2022) reported that hybrid and remote managers often lack effective tools to measure performance and provide meaningful feedback, making behavioural training essential.
These findings reinforce the critical need for structured behavioural training to equip managers with the skills to lead confidently in today’s evolving workplace.

Working with Gaëlle at SyncSkills was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Gaëlle brought a wealth of experience and knowledge of the subject matter, delivered with a calm confidence that immediately put the workshop participants at ease. Her flexibility and responsiveness made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free, and she kept me informed every step of the way, providing excellent feedback following the session. Participants commented on how approachable and engaging Gaëlle was, and her warm manner created a genuinely welcoming and productive atmosphere. Truly an all-round lovely person and a fantastic facilitator - I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Gaëlle again!
