Benefits of Training Virtual Workers
Most telecommuting pilot programs are started with a great deal of enthusiasm and support. Unfortunately, when it comes
time to formally implement the pilot as an official program, often there is suddenly a lack of interest and financial support
from company executives and management. Or, a program that is implemented loses steam within a year's time.
The Virtual Skills Workshop™ can help you break through these common barriers to create a successful and sustainable
telework program--a "must have" option in the 21st century workplace. Developed on a solid, research-based
understanding of what it takes to succeed in the telecommuting environment, the Virtual Skills Workshop™ helps
garner top-level support for telework initiatives and overcome critics' concerns.
The Virtual Skills Workshop increases support for, and the sustainability of, telecommuting programs by enabling every
participant to learn and practice a variety of techniques which maximize his/her productivity. When your teleworkers are
achieving results that meet or exceed expectations, you will find:
- Increased support for the telework program by top level executives and management.
- Higher levels of enthusiasm for the telework program by telecommuters and non-telecommuters alike.
- Less criticism or concern over the usefulness or appropriateness of telework.
- Managers who are more confident and relaxed when working with telecommuters.
- More satisfied employees who are more likely to stay with the company.
As an integral component of your company's telecommuting, remote management, or other work-at-home program, the best
practices taught in the Virtual Skills Workshop™ help ensure that your company's telework program is as effective and
successful as possible.
