SECURITY DANGERS
Physical office space shares the same network, IP address և verified devices. But in the case of a virtual team, none of this is possible. Virtual teams often use their personal devices for work. In this case, security becomes a top priority.
Many organizations do not allow personal devices to enter work areas for data security, but with virtual teams you can not control where և how your data is distributed. This can lead to phishing or data breaches within your organization. Security threats are one of the biggest challenges a virtual team faces in most companies.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
The good news is that data security has evolved over time; it is even possible to secure data remotely. You can take the following measures for that.
Create a security protocol
Train your team members on the basics of data security և best practices
Use tools with strong security measures
Make sure your employees do not use public networks for work
Update your security և passwords frequently
No order
People find it difficult to find structure or order in everything, be it in caves, modern homes or offices. They respond well և develop under established structures. Governments and religions are the greatest evidence of this. But what happens when there is no order?
There is at least an understandable order of things in the office. But virtual teams require a well-defined structure to perform. Lack of hierarchies և structure can often lead to miscommunication և errors.
Many virtual teams struggle to perform simply because there is no set protocol for how to perform a task.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Documenting hierarchies և protocols makes it easy to communicate with your team. Create detailed և relevant protocols for each process և share them with your team members. Keep reviewing your records for any exceptions - keep updating them.
Any challenge of a virtual team can be met, but only if they have the right direction of virtual teams.
