Webinar details:
In this globalised world as companies continue to expand geographically, telecommuting becomes more common. Gone were the days where work meant coming into a regular office, day after day, clocking in from 9-5.
Armed with laptops, Wi-fi, and mobile phones, most employees will be able to accomplish their day-to-day tasks anywhere. Traditional working practices have gradually evolved into a geographically dispersed workforce in shared workspaces, private homes, and hotel rooms.
The appeal of virtual teams is clear. Employees will be able to manage their work and personal lives more flexibly, while still keeping them in touch with colleagues and clients worldwide.
A virtual environment changes the management dynamic as it lacks the stimuli or feedback that is characteristic of a face-to-face setting. Managing virtually poses a challenge for line managers as repurposing old skills and framework can only go so far to approach a virtual world.
What are some of the actions that have been undertaken by the organisation to ensure that the leaders of these teams have the skills and tools to succeed?
When people are unable to bump into each other in the hallway at work, relationships and accountability have to be created by design. Tune in to this webinar to get insights into the skills, and the thought process that goes into creating and leading an effective virtual team for your organisation.
