Managing Virtual Teams

Our working habits are changing. Advances in communications technology mean that more and more organizations are expanding their horizons. It's never been easier for companies to operate across international borders, and many professionals are taking advantage of technology to work from home. As a result, there has been enormous growth in the number of organizations relying on virtual teams to get their jobs or projects done.

Changes in working patterns and advances in technology mean that more organizations are embracing the creation of virtual teams.They offer considerable advantages but can also present some challenges.

For example, virtual teams are not restricted by borders or time zones, and they offer people much greater flexibility. But it's important to maintain close and effective communication with your team members, and managers must avoid bias and give their virtual workers the same opportunities for recognition and reward as "traditional" office workers
