Working Virtually

in the 21st Century

Two Day Experiential Workshop
Facilitated by: Yolanda Sing & Botha Kruger

What is Virtual Working?

In the last 10 years, our work environment has changed:
We don’t sit in the same building as our colleagues
Instead of travelling, we use email, phone, the web or video to communicate
Our work hours and time zones are not always the same
We actively pursue work-life balance and more flexibility
YET
We plan, we work, we meet, we deliver
We are Working Together Apart

Why Learn about Virtual Working?

Ask yourself:

• Are our virtual teams/workers as productive as possible?
• Have we mastered communicating clearly and effectively when not meeting face-to-face?
• Do we fully understand what tools are available to make communication and collaboration easier?
• Do we really know what it takes to build and sustain an effective virtual team?
• Are we getting the cost-benefit of working virtually?
• Can we deal with conflict in virtual teams?
• Can we manage people virtually?

If not, there is scope for learning
