Improving collaboration and communication in remote working and virtual teams
These days, and particularly during the global COVID pandemic, the most efficient and adaptable organisations work in unison from almost anywhere in the world. Teams find themselves operating in new scenarios often driven in an accelerated fashion to reshape how they work, engage with colleagues and interact with and deliver services to external and internal customers.
The new reality brings great potential but also many challenges. While virtual teams can perform far better than traditional models, they often don’t. New mindsets need to be developed and honed to co-ordinate work and maintain relationships. Sadly miscommunication occurs too often that can lead to an erosion of trust. This is where external support, from professionals like teamGenie®, can help to get the team on track.
