Remote Time and Line Management Skills
The Client

The Brief
Kobalt has a very dynamic and creative culture. Its employees are passionate about what they do and the impact of their work in the world.
They are also very busy and highly willing to help others. However, they are overcommitted, which can make it challenging to prioritise tasks. It also makes it difficult to dedicate time to more strategic work and manage colleagues both face-to-face. They also need to communicate remotely across the world. Therefore, honing Remote Time and Line Management Skills is essential.
Our Tailored Solution
Over a number of years, and working in close partnership with Kobalt, Impact Factory developed and delivered tailored Line Management and Time Management programmes. These are very practical and great fun, matching Kobalt’s open and diverse culture.
Kobalt’s People & Culture team has always opted for a Kobalt bespoke option. This helps design the learning programmes to respond specifically to their requirements and needs. It incorporates Kobalt scenarios throughout.
The benefits of tailored Line Management training for new line managers have been manifold. They have not only disseminated valuable new skills but also acted as bonding experiences for colleagues. This helps them to continue supporting each other in the future.
In addition, Impact Factory’s Time Management programmes have included the creation of practical tools. This was done in collaboration with the delegates attending the workshops. These workshops explored the delegates’ attitude to time, how they spend it, and learn how to delegate successfully. Strengthening Remote Time and Line Management Skills was also a key focus.
These sessions have made clear the importance and high value of providing good feedback. This is hugely motivating and creates a clear sense of purpose.
They have reinforced strengths and development within the company and made employees feel empowered and supported.
They have helped to motivate and inspire and to build trust within the business and teams across different countries while honing Remote Time and Line Management Skills.

“We’ve been using Impact Factory for a few years now and I can’t talk more highly of them. Kate Arneil has been particularly amazing. She quickly put our staff at ease, built a trusting relationship and provides her expertise and knowledge in an engaging and clear way. She’s easily one of the best trainers I’ve ever come across.
