Usefulness of virtual teams
Virtual teams help in cost optimization and creating happy employees. Peñarroja et al
(2015) are of the opinion that the virtual teams are the part and parcel of the modern day business
set up. In order to make sure that the decisions of all the stakeholders are being taken into
account, the business headquarters have to make sure that they are using a certain
communication system that will help them in creating a proper link between one another. Pozin
et al (2018) have also added that the concept of virtual teams helps employees in working from
home. In this 21st century, life is very busy and people often find it easier to work from home. As
per the GlobalWorkplaceAnalytics show that about 79% of people actually want to work from
home, and 36% of the employees would choose that as a job perk over a pay hike (Mattarelli et
al 2017). This shows that virtual teams will help employees in working with ease. As a result of
this, they will be able to come up with more dynamic and useful business ideas.
