Abstract: The purpose of this article is to outline a training regimen for virtual team members and leaders, based on prior literature on the particular issues and unique skills necessary for individuals who work in this type of environment. The training program proposes four main modules, beginning with introductory training via a kickoff meeting, followed by subsequent modules that delve into factors that have been shown to be crucial for virtual team success. The study's approach provides guidance on the design and execution of various in-person and virtual training sessions, including content, potential delivery modes, timing, and assessment of learning objectives. In total, the proposed training program is designed to be flexible in terms of project types (e.g., engineering, information technology, product development) but is well-suited for virtual teams and employees who work extensively in a virtual environment.
