It wasn’t long ago that when I walked out of the office building I was essentially on my own and any work that had to be done between the hours of 5p-9a had to be done without peer support. Now … I and many of my co-workers, have Blackberries, laptops, VPN access, etc. that make it easy to stay connected/become as productive (if not more productive) out of the office as I am when physically within the office. Unfortunately, being out of the office also means being away from the water cooler. Unplanned/informal conversations have always and will always uncover insights that would have otherwise been missed. As the number of full time virtual employees continues to increase the importance of social media training also increases. While we take personal relationship building for granted in the office (I don’t need to be taught how to socialize) it can’t be taken for granted in a virtual office and employees’ effective use of social media (both by those in and out of the office) is critical to cover the gap.
