HOW VIRTUAL TEAM TRAINING CAN IMPROVE
YOUR BUSINESS RESULTS

For some companies, the transition to a virtual work structure is seamless and the advantages are felt immediately. Virtual teams save costs, boost corporate productivity, and bring new levels of job satisfaction.

Not every company is as lucky. Weak communication, poor management, and disillusioned or incompetent team members can plague virtual teams.

Collaboration among virtual teams is a complex subject. According to a study by MIT, a distance as short as 50 meters can cause dramatic reductions in the frequency of communication between team members. Research shows that a poorly- managed virtual team negatively affects productivity. Conversely, a well-managed virtual team will have a profound positive impact on the bottom line.

Why Virtual Team Mastery is Important

Fuelled by international competition, technological advancements, and alternative work practices, organizations are embracing virtual team structures at an unprecedented rate. At the beginning of the last decade, 45 million employees worked remotely at least once a week. The virtual workforce is now projected to reach 49 million in the United States alone by 2016.

Despite the prevalence of virtual work, 70% of virtual teams fail to achieve their goals. Team members can feel disconnected and even overlooked.
