How To Successfully Manage Virtual Team Productivity Online.

Create team profiles.

One way to build camaraderie is to request that team members create profiles of their personal interests, hobbies, and areas of expertise. Photos are particularly useful in profiles since some members may not have met face to face. Inclusion activities, which service to increase familiarity, can be used at the start of virtual team meetings. Icebreakers should be relevant to multiple cultures. Face-to-face meetings can go a long way toward building the team and should always be considered when feasible. Team building activities encourage team members to get to know each other and learn about common interests that can serve as connecting points.

Good luck with your teams! Dr. Maureen McGuire
