Learning Objective

  • To analyze what is meant by an effective virtual team.
  • To explain the barriers and unique challenges of virtual teams.
  • To analyze some tools, techniques, or strategies to engage team members virtually.
  • To discuss best practices for managing virtual teams.

Course Overview

Thanks to the ever-increasing deployment of virtual teams, the modern office is increasingly defined by time zones, rather than walls. According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 66 percent of multinationals, not to mention almost half of all organizations, use virtual teams, which can boost productivity and employee flexibility while reducing the time and cost of travel.

How do I create effective virtual teams?

That is a question more, and more leaders are asking. Although technological advances have opened many opportunities and possibilities, particularly expanding the world’s talent pool beyond one’s backyard. Distance is no longer a barrier for an organization to employ from diverse backgrounds.

However, it has created other challenges, especially for virtual teams. The same principles that are applied to face-to-face teams must be recontextualized to address other challenges, such as poor team communication, slow response time, and lack of focus.

The following are the major questions that are answered in this CPE webinar:

  • What does an effective virtual team look like?
  • What are the barriers to virtual teams?
  • How do I create engagement in virtual meetings?
  • What tools can I use to manage virtual teams?

Join this CPE/CPD course by William Rothwell to understand how to build an effective virtual team.
