A virtual team – whether across the street or across 
the world – is a team whose members 
simultaneously work together to a common 
purpose, while physically apart.!

So What’s the Story? 
• Remote work started in the 1990’s as a way to retain female 
employees. 
! 
• Late 90’s/early 2000’s, technology evolved, enabling more 
remote working to save on real estate and travel time.! 
• Today, wifi, cloud computing, smartphones and online 
collaboration tools make it more plausible than ever.! 
• Social media has also changed personal communication. 
This means easier and faster remote relationship building.!

Working Remotely Allows Me To… 
“ 
Work in my jammies, work flex hours (which can 
mean the hours I choose or 14 hours a day!), let my 
dogs out, get dinner started, run an errand 
or go to a doctor’s appointment 
without feeling guilty. 
!

Working Remotely Allows Me To… 
“ 
Be flexible with my schedule. When things come up 
like doctor appointments or there's a family 
emergency I can take off immediately 
and do my work on the go. 
It's the best way to work!
