Elevate Your Virtual Team

Identify &MITIGATE DISTANCE BIAS USING PROVEN PRACTICES

Very few of us will be working face to face with our entire team any time soon. At a minimum team members will be in the office at different times, and some team members will continue to work virtually from home. Teams will continue to evolve to be more global encompassing people from different locations.

The unintended consequence of this new workplace is the erosion of team cohesion. We see that when people are separated, collaboration suffers, relationships and trust are impacted, and overall reduction in productivity. Distance bias begins to creep into the workplace and if not addressed can cause irreparable damage.
