Form a virtual team

Step-by-step explanation:

Virtual team can be defined as a group of workers or employees who work together with a common purpose but are separated by location. Virtual team can also be called "remote team" or "geographically dispersed team", or "telecommuting".

It refers to a group of people working on similar project but are situated in different locations of the world. Virtual team is made possible with the advent of technology. All members of the team communicate with the use of technology such as video conference call, email, webcasts and other forms of technological communication.

Virtual team does not require the physical presence of the team members since communication is done online. This allows employees some form of freedom and shift between jobs(that is have more than one job). It allows workers have time to handle their personal matters.

Employers of virtual team workers also benefit from reduced cost of operation. The employer doesn't have to provide offices for each staff members.
