Virtual Team: Building Relationships

Kylie Bell’s experience with virtual teams tells her that building relationships comes first, so that rapport and trust are established.

No matter where team members work and whether Skype is necessary to touch base, Kylie Bell advocates the importance of building relationships – both professionally and personally. Rapport and trust are built through managers’ attention to making connections with their people and taking the trouble to understand different cultures and people’s work and domestic arrangements.
