3 Tips for Making Virtual Teams Work
Views: 82
Teams are increasingly spread across offices, geographies, and time zones. Building a bonded team when work is done virtually can be a challenge. Here are three ways you can help virtual workers feel more connected:
- Meet face-to-face at least once. Allowing team members to bond at the beginning of their work together will give them something to return to when they are feeling far away.
- Talk often. Frequent contact is key to maintaining a sense of connectedness.
- Use different types of media. There are numerous technologies that can help connect your virtual team. Use a variety of them — instant message, video conference, phone calls — so that people can interact in a style most comfortable to them.
