THE VIRTUAL OFFICE: Wherever Work Needs to Be

Key Features

30 minute video and accompanying handbook

Today's office may be anywhere - at home, in a car, at shared telecommuting centers - or in different places at different times. No longer is one place with people assembled at desks within four walls, the only place, or even the best place, to get work done.

This breakthrough video focuses on the needs and skills of the people who create and sustain the successful virtual office: the managers, the workers and their fellow team members. It will help organizations on the threshold of telecommunicating, as well as those with more experience.

Hosted by Gil Gordon, an internationally recognized expert on virtual office arrangements, the program shows the various forms of the virtual office and outlines their benefits and pitfalls. It takes viewers on site visits to three organizations that have successfully implemented virtual office operations: Ernst & Young, LLP, Steelcase, Inc., and Nabisco's Fleischmann's Divison.

Both the video and the accompanying handbook contain guidelines and training tips that deal with issues such as trust, individual responsibility, performance management, communcation, and teamwork.
