Meet Penny PD — your personal guide to create your own development program!

Conceptually, virtual teams are the same with traditional teams, but managing virtual teams requires additional skills like dealing with time related issues, language barriers, cultural diversity and team building.

Because of these differences, managers of virtual teams should know how to create practices and activities that result in the success of the team. This Managing Virtual Teams training course from PD Training will equip you with the knowledge and abilities essential in leading virtual teams to higher levels of efficiency, hold effective meetings, handle poor performing employees and use tools to build trust and confidence among employees.

This dynamic training course is available now throughout Hong Kong.

This Managing Virtual Teams training course can be delivered at your premises by one of our expert local or international trainers or live online using our HIVE technology.
