Complimentary Workshop: How to Build a High Performing Virtual Team **Limited to Hawaii and Guam Residents**

Whether we saw it coming or not, dispersed workforces are today’s business reality.The recent global pandemic has changed the way we work, interact, communicate, and think – perhaps forever. Coronavirus has compelled many employees from organizations of all sizes to work from home for the foreseeable future. Meetings have moved to video conferencing, there has been a sudden and widespread uptake of online tools and digital solutions, and teams have had to learn to collaborate and innovate over distance.While at first glance it may appear that managing a virtual team is similar to running traditional teams, leaders across the country are fast learning this is not the case. There is clearly a need for a new approach, different skills and fresh considerations when managing remote workforces. For starters, leaders can no longer rely on the trusted methods of communication and team building that they used to rely upon in order to shape a productive virtual team.But how do leaders acclimate to this new business landscape, keep up with the constant demands that such a relentless rate of change has in-store, and ensure we are serving those who report into us in the most effective and appropriate way?For many, this may seem like a daunting or intimidating ask. It may appear difficult to keep pace with technological changes, taxing to learn new methods for doing a familiar task, or uncomfortable to invest time and resources into new digital tools that relinquish a degree of perceived control. Concerns over a clunky or disruptive implementation period can also be a barrier. The truth, though, is that the abundance of new, user-friendly tools makes it easier to lead and collaborate across distance than ever before. This new way of doing things represents an exciting and unchartered frontier ahead of us, which will reward those that step up to the challenge and develop new levels of competence.This Live Online workshop has therefore been designed to introduce the tools, attitudes, and actions that leaders need to encourage maximum performance from team members, while also making them feel safe and secure.Participants will be able to:• Define the skill sets important to virtual team members and leaders.• Identify the five success factors for building and leading virtual teams.• Discuss the prevailing myths and challenges about leading virtual teams and the ways to overcome them.We hope you will join us for this 90 minute webinar to learn how you can build a high performing virtual team.
