“The need for business growth and tapping into the talent resources across geographic boundaries, as well as the benefits of networking and collaborative technology, are easily recognized and understood. However, the challenge for managers is how to effectively manage and lead individuals into cohesive, high-performing teams in a virtual workplace setting.”
“Virtual or remote offices change the ways in which people communicate and work with each other, transfer information, establish authority and rules, and perform and measure performance. Although emerging collaboration, networking and remote access technologies provide the necessary infrastructure to support the implementation of virtual workplace, changes in organizational culture and behaviors will be the key to drive success.”
