人们有一种很普遍的错觉 认为面对面的团队比虚拟或远程团队更高产

Remote and virtual teams can be just as successful.

远程和虚拟团队能达到跟面对面相同的效果

Here are three key benefits of being part of a remote team that you can share with your boss.

你可以跟你的老板分享一下这三个远程团队的好处

Number one, remote teams save time.

第一 远程团队可以节省时间

How much time do you spend going to the office every day walking around trying to fix your laptop trying to take calls dealing with inefficiencies walking down the hall.

你每天要花多少时间在通勤路上 来回走动 修理电脑 接打电话 应对低效问题 走来走去

In many ways remote teams will allow you to reduce a lot of that inefficient day time that you spend not actually doing productive work.

在很多方面 远程团队能减少你每天花在无所事事上的无效时间

It allows you to work from home to work from wherever you might be in a different geographical region and contribute through our connected digital tools.

它能让你在家或任何其他地区办公 通过数字联络工具做出自己的贡献

The second benefit of a remote team is it saves you money in your company.

第二个优点是它能帮公司省钱

How much money do we spend on the annual big corporate event to bring everyone together?

为了把大家集结在一起 公司每年会在年会上投入多少资金？

We all know that's important and those are useful things but we can't always do that all the time.

我们知道集体活动很重要 也很有意义 但并不是任何时候都能落实的

It's not practical especially if we're leading global teams around the world.

尤其是如果团队中的成员来自世界各地 就更不现实了

So leading a remote team will allow you to save a lot of that traditional money you spend on travel and bring your team together to fund the most important things,

所以远程团队可以让你省去在出差上的开支 把团队集结起来 把钱花在最重要的事情上

trust and team-building activities that may be virtual, ways of sharing stories with one another, one on one time with one another.

虚拟的信任和团建活动 与他人分享故事 彼此之间的一对一相处

The third benefit of leading a remote team is that you get the ability to bring the best and the brightest truly together.

第三个优点是你可以集结到最优秀和最聪明的人

There's a huge immense wealth of expertise and knowledge around the world.

世界各地有大量的专业技能和知识财富

But often times and for the last series of years we've thought about only enabling people who are traditional employees who come to our offices to be able to contribute to our own companies.

但很多时候 在过去几年 我们只让传统意义上的员工到公司来出谋划策

And what a remote team will allow you to do is find those that are the true experts not just in your region in your city but around the world.

而远程团队不仅能让你找到本地的专家 还可以邀请到世界各地的专业人士

That will allow you to bring that those best and brightest together to generate the solutions for your organization.

你可以找到全世界最优秀和最聪明的人来为你效力
