Team Flexibility One of the greatest advantages of a Virtual Team is its flexibility. Working from home offices saves office space and overhead, and the group can be rearranged, like a pick-up basketball team, whenever economics or the progress of the project requires it. Many corporate examples of Virtual Teams are blossoming in the telecommuting boom that has occurred during the past few years. A salaried employee can work from a home office one or more days a week, serving the same call center functions, or providing the same software coding services or sales management that she or he performed in the office, park-linked to the corporate network but unhooked from the freeways and the office water cooler.
Productivity is up, and stress is down.
