Team-Building for Companies

Team-Building for Companies
Salas et al. (2008), Klein et al. (2009) and Macy & Izumi (1993) explain that ‘Team building is one of the most widely used group development activities in organizations. Of all organizational activities, one study found team-development to have the strongest effect (versus financial measures) for improving organizational performance. Fun is an important component to team building, but the intent is become productive, focused, and aligned.’

MindTools.Com (available at https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/new) explains that if you answer yes to any of the following questions your staff  needs to go for team-building:

• Are there conflicts between certain people that are creating divisions within the team?
• Do team members need to get to know one another?
• Do some members focus on their own success, and harm the group as a result?
• Does poor communication slow the group’s progress?
• Do people need to learn how to work together, instead of individually?
• Are some members resistant to change, and does this affect the group’s ability to move forward?
• Do members of the group need a boost to their morale?
