Release 1

This version first released with BSB Business Services Training Package Version 1.0.

Application

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to supervise staff who perform agreed duties at an alternative site (usually home) during some or all of the scheduled work hours. Off-site work is a flexible employment option that meets all legal and regulatory employment requirements.

It applies to individuals who may be supervisors or team leaders and have responsibility for overseeing the work of off-site staff.

Increasingly, managers and staff are at different locations and the opportunities for face to face communication are reduced. In these cases, individuals must develop different techniques and approaches to ensure quality standards and work outcomes are met.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
