It can be challenging and more complicated to communicate with team

members who are dispersed across different offices, cities, countries, and
locations. A virtual work team's trust, mobility, motivation, and efficiency can
all be improved by leaders who are more innovative and receptive to new
tools. Virtual teams should set meeting guidelines just like any other team.

To keep projects moving along schedule biweekly meetings. Team members


should regularly receive updates, meeting minutes, to-do lists, and emails
from the team as a whole. Email can be a good way to facilitate this.

According to the survey results, connecting with the team for both work-
related and non-work-related issues was one of the biggest problems
employees encountered. Other difficulties include setting up a workspace,
dealing with too many distractions in the home, and dealing with the home's
technological infrastructure.

Effective communication has an impact on goal achievement under difficult


conditions and employee engagement. In the same way that video
conferences are necessary, frequent and regular communication with
employees is required. Around 86% of those who responded to Question 8's
inquiry about how frequently they communicate with their team said that
they do so once per day, with more than 30% communicating once every two
hours. The information automatically highlights the necessity of daily
effective communication. The need for interaction was greatest in FMCG,
then BFSI, consulting, engineering, IT, and PSUs, in that order.

More than 30% of respondents chose calls as their preferred method of


communication with team members in response to question 9 (compared to
68% of men and 93% of women), with video conferencing and chats coming
in second and third.

The survey also revealed that more than 56% of participants talked to their
team about things other than work, such as news, rumours, games, jokes,
and family chit-chat (ranked in order of preferences). Only 55% of the male
team members engaged in non-work-related communication, compared to
63% of the female team members.
