Many companies have teams based all over the world, working together on projects and corporate priorities across continents and time zones. Some may work out of major corporate offices, smaller satellite offices, while others may work from home. Other virtual team structures can emerge when companies work with consultants and freelancers or when they collaborate with other companies.
Remote workers and virtual teams can pose unique communication challenges. Unlike a traditional team structure where workers are co-located physically in the same office, virtual and remote workers are unable to easily share ideas and gain insights from the people around them. Some team members who are apart from the majority of the team can be forgotten and overlooked and vital information may not be shared.
Virtual teams can make employee engagement especially challenging - an important aspect in any company when it comes to productivity, profitability, morale and staff turnover. When employees aren’t all in the same place, and particularly if they are working alone, they can feel a disconnect from their workplace and can easily become disengaged.
