Taking on the Global Challenge through Virtual Teams and Resources
Santa Clara, California (PRWEB) March 20, 2014 -- After his successful talk on “Outsourcing Trends and Workforce Management” last January 2014, John Davern, Jr., MBA, HR & Recruitment expert and President & CEO of Virtual Assistant Talent, LLC, will once again be joining Executive Next Practices and also GlobalBusinessNews in their upcoming event on March 20, 2014 on Managing Global Talent and the 21st Century Workforce in Santa Clara, California.
“With technology and globalization moving at the rate that it is now, there is a push for leaders to acquire new skills and best practices to lead their organization to the next level,” shared John. In his upcoming speaking engagement on Next Practices in Workforce Leadership, John will be talking about how to effectively utilize virtual teams and resources for companies to face the global efficiency challenge.
A report by the Global Workplace and Analytics and Telework Research Network, published in Forbes Magazine, reveals that although big companies such as Yahoo and Best Buy have removed the option for their employees to work from home, many companies continue to offer this, because they have found that they can get more high-quality work done quickly, without the need for in-house employees to complete the tasks onsite.
“The latest developments in communication, project management and other collaborative tools, as well as the ease of internet access worldwide, has made virtually any place in the surface of the earth an office.” John pointed out. “It doesn’t matter if you are working with a team of outsourced individuals working in another country or local employees working from the comforts of their own home. The key to becoming a globally effective leader is how to bring your virtual team together and knowing how to utilize the virtual resources that are available.”
John will be sharing his knowledge and experience in managing a Virtual Team in replacing basic administrative tasks to critical work in the areas of marketing and other niche specific tasks in his presentation about Virtual Teams and Resources.
