The work world is changing rapidly. One of the most important changes is in the form of the increasing need to work with others across time zones and geographical boundaries. Communicating with team members across distances represents a complexity few people are prepared for. Participants in this webinar will learn to be part of a responsive, committed, and cohesive dispersed work team. They will learn how to link people they rarely see with processes to create a collaborative virtual environment.
Advances in technology have enabled organizations to locate employees closer to customers, in their homes, and clustered together in small offices in other countries. This significantly increases communication challenges because of a lack of face-to-face interaction. Many of the work principles they grew up with have to be rethought, revised, or simply replaced to fit today’s virtual workplace.
