Virtual teams are no longer the “wave of the future.” They are here now, and they are growing in use. The 2010 federal Telework Enhancement Act mandates federal agencies to create telework policies under which eligible employees can telework. Public and private organizations of all sizes are rapidly developing and adapting their methods of teleworking.
This includes allowing employees to work at home on designated days each week or month or eliminating the office entirely and having team members permanently located in different offices and home offices across a wide range of areas and even countries.
As with any significant change, we often focus first on the disadvantages of remote work. One of this program’s objectives is to give you the opportunity to focus on the advantages and to consider different ways to reduce problems in leading virtual teams.
