Virtual Teams and the Critical Role of Effective Communication

As we enter this new reality of work in an environment consisting of newly formed virtual teams, travel restrictions, and work-from-home environments, managers and senior leaders are focusing on the impact all of this has on team communication.

Virtual team communication is linked to team performance. It is a precursor to effective team processes and outcomes, and with many organizations utilizing virtual, organizations need to know how to implement effective virtual team communication strategies.

When high-quality communication is present among dispersed or remote teams, it leads to shared understanding, smoother team functioning, and better performance.
