Managing a virtual team is different from managing a team that is physically present and requires a different set of skills for success.

Virtual team management often requires you to deal with cultural differences, time differences, remoteness and technological barriers. This training includes setting up a virtual team, conducting meetings, overcoming special challenges, using appropriate communication tools and dealing with inefficiency. These skills help you to establish and manage a virtual team successfully.

The PD Training Virtual Team Management Training Course provides skills and understanding in handling effective meetings and group sessions, handle poor performing employees and how to use tools to build trust and confidence among employees.

This intensive training course is now available throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
