Team Building Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Is team building beneficial just to high level management or would
you recommend it to all levels within a company? Strategic Teams - Directors
Management Teams - Managers
Work Teams - Workers
So each team has a different set of tasks and requires specialist team-building tactics for their task. It is essential that teambuilding takes place at all levels and all teams should be working in the same direction i.e. towards achieving the corporate strategy. What can team building
do for a Small to Medium business? A teambuilding event allows for a person who specialises in teambuilding to help the company develop their team. A teambuilding event also provides the opportunity for a team to focus on how they perform as individuals and as a team in the safe environment away from the pressures of the workplace. What long-term benefits are there to good team dynamics and will improvements be apparent? Success breeds success – An effective team means committed team members
who won’t want to let the team down – this leads to increased productivity
and increased profit. Corporations must move on and change with the times
to remain competitive, and the management of change is not one of the
easiest tasks. But successful team members have a positive attitude toward
change and are willing to accept and allow change to occur as needed in
order to accomplish desired results. What companies would your recommend team building to? Companies already working with efficient teams will still benefit. The business world is very competitive and companies have to continually look at ways of improving themselves. I am always mindful that “you don’t know what you don’t know”. This is another area where companies benefit by someone outside the company looking at the teams and their development. We provide teambuilding events that give team members the opportunity to discover more about themselves and their team and to focus on the corporate strategy. Teambuilding does not have to be that expensive and as Ben Franklin stated “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” How can a company work out whether they need to improve their interpersonal relationships or not? Feedback from customers, both internal and external, should include a measure for interpersonal relationships. An appraisal system and exit interviews (that is interviews with staff members who are leaving the company) should also pick up the signs. However, if a company has effective teams, the feedback will come quickly from the members who will be constantly seeking ways to develop areas for individuals and the team. Can corporate away day’s assist with other issues such as stress management? This is why it is important to identify the causes and deal with those. We find that by bringing staff away from the workplace and creating a comfortable environment, people are more prepared to discuss their concerns. Suitable changes can then be made in the workplace. What other issues can they assist with? Some paragraphs from a letter I received gives you an idea of what people from BT thought of one of our teambuilding events: “I believe the activities and especially the environment, encouraged each member to find out more about themselves as well as other team members. This certainly encouraged ‘communication ’ back at the office.” “I have recommended the course to our unit manager, since we think they are an enjoyable, but practical and cost effective way of learning.” |
