Organizations often use teams to achieve work goals

Organizations often use teams to achieve work goals. Virtual teams are becoming increasingly common across industries. Research suggests that trust is an important state to cultivate in virtual teams. In this assignment, you will research and present best practices for effective communication for establishing trust in virtual teams.

I/O psychology professionals often present their findings through PowerPoint presentations. For this assignment, you will create a 10–15 slide narrated PowerPoint presentation covering best practices for effective communication in establishing trust in virtual teams. You should develop this presentation as if you were going to present it to managers who are interested in using virtual teams and narrate the presentation using an audio component.

To prepare for this assignment, you should study relevant research on this topic. Review your course readings, as well as journal articles to identify best practices for effective communication for establishing trust in virtual teams. Include the following in your presentation:

• Discuss characteristics of virtual teams.
• Discuss the importance of establishing trust in virtual teams. Present evidence supporting your main ideas.
• Considering what you have studied about communication in general, communication in teams, and virtual teams, how should virtual team members communicate with one another to increase trust?
  1. Present three communication approaches or strategies that are likely to increase trust in virtual teams.
  2. Present evidence to support why each approach would be effective.
