3. Best practices for managing virtual teams

Updated: May 27, 2022

We have compiled the best practices for managing IT teams for you.


#1. Creation of the necessary infrastructure.

If you are in charge of a virtual team, make sure you have adequate processes in place for productivity, communication, communication, and social engagement.


#2: Make safety a top priority.

With remote access to data, systems, and company assets. Install security updates as soon as they become available and change your password regularly.


#3. Consider work schedule

Encourage your employees to update their status with one of the many apps that can sync with your team (Slack, Teams, etc.). This is why you should avoid calling co-workers when they are sleeping or taking care of their children.


#4: Develop a common language and ground rules

At the start of your project, agree on some ground rules (such as preference for contact outside office hours, communication, communication protocols, etc.). Remember to appreciate the culture and differences of others if you are working in a cross-border team.


#5: Take care of your health and well-being.

This is just as important when working out of the office, so take regular breaks from your desk and computer, get up and move around, change your posture, check your vision regularly, and separate your work into IT and non-IT jobs.


#6: Recognize When It's Appropriate to Speak

We can all become overly dependent on email, text messages, and instant messages. So, if there's a chance of a misunderstanding, many messages have already been sent, if you're offering sensitive feedback or need to work out a final agreement, just pick up the phone!
