Employees are now frequently required to operate virtually, a trend that has rapidly accelerated due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The demand for flexibility in where and how people work has been developing for decades. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, which accelerated remote work practically overnight, organizations leveraged global workforces and tapped into the benefits virtual teams afford.

Gain the skills and knowledge to set your teams up for success in the Leading Global Virtual Teams online program from the Executive Education team at the Yale School of Management. Guided by Program Convener Amy Wrzesniewski, an expert in how people experience work and make meaning of their work in challenging contexts, you’ll focus on the opportunities and challenges that global, virtual teams present.

Based on Yale SOM’s long-running, on-campus core curriculum course, Global Virtual Teams, you’ll explore how to design teams and processes to overcome the obstacles of working in a virtual space. Explore in-depth case studies, discussions, and real-world application opportunities to ensure your organization is efficient and resilient, and equipped for the future of work.

This program is designed to empower managers and leaders to oversee remote workers by taking a structured approach to leadership, decision making, and productivity. Equally, individual contributors and aspiring managers working on a virtual team project will benefit from the program’s focus on efficiency and collaboration. Human resource professionals responsible for employee wellbeing and engagement will benefit from the program’s theoretical and practical nature.
