Overview
With the growing trend for virtual team working and home working, it is essential for a manager to give the necessary support to the team to ensure the arrangement is a success.
As a manager you may already have identified that the role is suitable for a virtual working arrangement. Most importantly, however, you will have identified that the team member has the potential personal qualities appropriate to working unsupervised.
However, with some team members being office based and some field/home based you will need to identify strategies to ensure your team still works together effectively.
Managers who wish to manage teams effectively where team members work away from the office base either in the field or from home would benefit from attending this course.

- identify the advantages, demands and challenges your virtual team will face
