The A.L.I.C.E. Model

Whether a first-time telecommuter, an experienced teleworker, or managing telecommuters, the Virtual Skills Workshop™ is sure to be of value. This half-day telecommuter training program is the only one that provides telecommuters with a comprehensive, highly interactive workshop covering five key soft skills. Using the A.L.I.C.E.model™ as a guide, the Virtual Skills Workshop™ engages participants in a variety of group activities, discussions, and learning games.

Adapt to Virtual Work
Participants learn how to improve their personal productivity by categorizing their tasks, defining results-oriented performance expectations, and setting clear expectations with others.

Lead Yourself
In this section of the Workshop, participants practice effective techniques for taking the initiative, making independent decisions, conducting more efficient virtual meetings, and asking for feedback.

Interact With Others
One hundred percent of a telecommuter's interaction with others is virtual, requiring advanced interpersonal skills. Here, participants gain insight into their own ability to effectively set boundaries and resolve conflict in the virtual workplace.

Communicate Effectively
Effective, thorough, and clear communication is essential for telecommuter productivity. This section of the Workshop goes beyond basic communication training by providing tips and practice on communication methods specific to telecommuting --from voicemail to chat rooms.

Engage the Main Office
Participants learn how to proactively keep in touch and stay connected with co-workers at the main office.
