Description:
Remote work – or virtual work – has been called the biggest driver of transformation in the workplace. If you are on a virtual team, you probably agree! Virtual work teams have very different needs than teams who work in the same location.
In order to realize the many benefits of virtual teams – a nimble, highly productive work environment, great flexibility, lower operational costs, increased diversity, global reach – you need to understand the challenges and solutions unique to virtual teams and why virtual team-building training is vital to the success of your organization.
Powers Resource Center is the industry expert on virtual team building. Its principal, Tara Powers, is the foremost thought leader on virtual team practices, and she has been training virtual teams for many years. She is the author of the book ‘Virtual Teams for Dummies’ published by Wiley in 2018.

This virtual team-building program will transform your virtual team into a highly productive, collaborative, and successful team in your organization. The course will start by identifying the top 10 predictors of virtual team success. Following that, you and your virtual teammates will be trained on the 6C strategies to address the challenges facing virtual teams:
- How to focus on clarity as the foundation of a strong virtual team
- How to instill a sense of team through building trust, collaboration and connection
- How to implement training around collaborative technology that keeps your team engaged and connected
- How to prepare managers to lead a team they’ve never met face-to-face
- How to utilize communication and feedback to ensure all team members are accountable, responsive and actively working to support the team and its goals
- Identify virtual team-building options for addressing conflicts, solving problems, and building consensus
In between sessions, teams will apply what they have learned to build agreements and processes that keep the team informed, engaged and establish new levels of trust and connection.
