These coordinators juggle a heavy workload while supervising anywhere from three to five virtual and human employees. Their day is filled with orchestrating team tasks and schedules to ensure high-quality work and interactions among team members. Leads need to be fast thinkers, quick on their feet, and adept at managing a multitude of issues.
Virtual employees have evolved beyond simple text-based bots. They now take the form of a traditional robot, a complex graphical interface or even an avatar. And range in complexity from simple digital assistants that speak naturally to those that mimic human expression, speech and motion. They are able to manage a variety of tasks from schedules, to conducting complex data analysis, to making strategic decisions.
