Virtual teams represent a tremendous opportunity for productivity and employee satisfaction, at the same time is a significant managerial challenge. The COVID crisis has forced many teams to discover working on-line, often with mixed results. Today while these teams appreciate the new tools and possibilities, they have also discovered the main challenges working on-line brings. Today, most managers are not fully equipped to manage high-performance virtual teams. As a result, in a 2020 study, 84% of employees feel less connected to their teams, 54 % feel not treated equally and more than 60% expressed concerning Zoom fatigue. However, on-line teams are not new; tech companies, among others, have been working with on-line teams for more than a decade. And they have learned a lot and wish to share this information. The goal is to go beyond simply working online and build teams that are motivated, cohesive, efficient, and productive.
This course is based on more than 20 years of experience in managing virtual teams in the High-tech industry. It has a clear focus into understanding, building skills and driving action. We use the most updated online teaching and collaboration tools to deliver a best in class learning experience.
”Pau shared great insights. Pau’s energy and his ability to intertwine examples from his experience with the input from the class made the course very stimulating, even for someone like me working at a born-digital company”
