Team Building – A Key Ingredient to a Successful Workplace

Video Intro (5 seconds)

Do you feel like there is poor communication between you and
your team members, which causes you to feel distant and
unmotivated at work? The lack of a strong and positive team
environment can really make the workplace unenjoyable. Let’s
dive into the needs of the team and figure out why there is such
a division between the individuals, then figure out a way to
bring the team together.

When building a strong and effective team, it is important that
each individual to be on the same page. By having a common goal,
creating team building activities, and having open communication
between members of the team, one can create a positive work
culture where everyone feels comfortable and valued. I know from
personal experience, the team I worked in had a lot of trouble
with communication. We had a lot of issues getting along due to
attitudes of certain members of the team. This creates a toxic
work environment and makes people feel unvalued.

We need to start by asking some questions that identify the
team’s strengths and weaknesses. This allows us to figure out
the root of the problem and develop a training plan that can
lead the company to success. For example, are there conflicts
between certain members of the team? Do team members need to get
to know one another better? Or, perhaps maybe the group needs a
morale boost? Answering these questions will help lead to a
successful team building experience.

We should also keep in mind, that everyone on our team has
different needs and different personalities. Team members should
get to know each other, and a great way to create these
connections is by having activities outside the workplace - such
as team barbecues or holiday parties. Getting to know your team
members helps increase your ability to connect and empathize.

Along with creating connections, it is necessary to have a
common goal that each member is working towards. By creating a
written mission statement, it can put everyone on the same page.
Having this common goal unites the team and makes clear what it
is we are working towards.

It takes time for a strong team to be built, but by identifying
the weaknesses and finding a way to develop stronger skills, we
will have a more motivated and connected team. Remember to look
out for each other and recognize each other’s accomplishments.
Motivate one another and create a positive and welcoming
environment. After all, its team work that makes the dream work!
