Inhoud

Virtual working has become a new reality due to the push from COVID lockdowns. The younger generations value a better life/work balance and take environmentally conscious decisions when choosing a job, therefore, remote and hybrid working are here to stay.

Working in global virtual teams, whose members transcend time, space, and culture, requires a different set of skills, knowledge and agility to transfer conventional know-how to digital.

In this new situation –  how to stand out? How to be an early adopter instead of tagging along? The course provides students with knowledge and tools preparing them to join a transforming workforce.

The elective is built around the following aspects:

  • how to prepare and facilitate virtual meetings efficiently;
  • how to manage cross-cultural virtual teams’ interactions (problem-solving, team building, trust, online feedback, etc);
  • how to stay motivated and take care of your mental health when working online;
  • how to do online presentations and interviews

Classes are held online.
