Zielgruppe
In the face of these challenges, it is vital that companies and organisations, leaders and team members, develop targeted strategies to promote and maintain team health in a digitalised workplace. This includes addressing communication, collaboration, self-care, leadership, and organisational factors that contribute to creating a healthy and supportive work environment. With digital networking, the importance of virtual and hybrid teams is increasing. These are not only the norm for multinational companies with locations all over the world. Small and medium-sized companies are also increasingly having to deal with the issue of digital collaboration. The topic of team health is particularly important in times of new work and the current dynamics of digitalisation for several reasons:
Digitalisation has led to new ways of working, including hybrid and virtual teams. These new working structures pose new challenges for the health and well-being of teams, as they require adapted communication and collaboration methods.
Digitalisation has
increased the speed and complexity of work processes. Teams are under increased
pressure to keep up with the pace of change, which can lead to stress and
psychological strain.
In virtual and hybrid work environments, employees often have less personal interaction with their colleagues. This can increase feelings of isolation and alienation, which in turn can affect team wellbeing and health.
Digitalisation allows
teams to work more flexibly and independently of fixed working hours and
locations. While this has its advantages, it can also lead to difficulties in
separating work and private life, which can contribute to exhaustion and
burnout.
Digitalisation has led to the fact that technologies and working practices are constantly evolving. Teams must continuously adapt and learn new skills to keep up, which can cause additional stress and pressure.
Leaders need to adapt their leadership styles and practices to changing work environments in order to effectively support team health in hybrid and virtual work environments.
In these five modules, the open VHB course will deal with various aspects of team health in hybrid and virtual teams, with a focus on shaping relationships and the role of leaders. In addition to basic psychological concepts (e.g., group dynamics, the phenomenon of groupthink), the course will also include current digitalization topics.
