How Can We Address the Skills Shortage—Now and in the Future?

While global remote communication and virtual teams can offer solutions, they don’t always produce the desired results. Often, companies focus on fine-tuning their already well-crafted corporate image and operational processes—which is important, but it can cause them to overlook a critical factor.

The reality is that most societies remain community-centered, whereas those from individualistic cultures may struggle to grasp the impact of this distinction. As a result, interactions often become overly task-focused, preventing trust from fully forming. Understanding cultural influence is one thing—practical application is another.

So, what practices foster trust, and which ones undermine it? How does this dynamic play out in global virtual teams? Could virtual teams be your solution to bridging the skills gap?
