03-28-2022 | By Devore Recruiting Blog Posts

Teamwork is a necessity in order for any company to maximize success, without it, it can be quite difficult, not only for the leaders but as well as for everyone in the workplace. Without effective and great teamwork the productivity and the quality of work will more likely turn out to be miserable even if the team involves talented and intelligent individuals. With the absence of teamwork, a company will always have a hard time keeping up with their competitors as they go unlike those companies that have excellent teamwork. Studies have always found and proven that encouraging a great workplace teamwork improves the quality of work, creativity and productivity of everyone as well as innovation and job contentment.

6 Effective Ways to Encourage Teamwork in the Workplace

How would you know which is the best and effective way to improve teamwork?

The truth is, you cannot know which is effective just by choosing what you think the team needs. The best and only way to find out is to experiment with a bunch of strategies or ways to improve teamwork until you figure out which is the most effective one. With that, we bring you some of the most effective ways to encourage teamwork in order to accomplish success for the team.

1. Establish each team member’s roles and responsibilities

It is critical for each team member to understand exactly what they are accountable for in order to avoid project overlap. When members of a team are unsure about their own roles and responsibilities, it can almost always lead to a conflict. Due to a misunderstanding of responsibility, numerous employees may work on the same assignment, wasting important time and team effort. Each person should accept responsibility for achieving the team’s objectives, as well as the resources and mutual support needed to achieve good results. Keeping clear goals for each employee will greatly help keep everyone focused on their roles and tasks.

2. Building Trust with everyone in the team

Working efficiently with someone you don’t trust is difficult. Having a high level of trust is a must If you really want to lead the team to success. You can build trust within the team by simply doing things like counting yourself in a happy hour with the team, participating in a team-building activities or just by having lunch together might hugely help to create trust between team members. Communication between team members is the key, it’s important that they interact with each other especially outside their work because this will not only enhance staff morale and job satisfaction, but it will also help to build trust among them. When one appreciates the people they work with, the work becomes more pleasurable.

3. Include team members in decision-making

Don’t hesitate to ask your team’s opinion when you yourself is unsure of what decision to make, remember you’re a team and you can always count them in. You may gather everyone’s opinion on the decision so that improvement may take place, trusting your team with making their own decision is part of improving teamwork. Sometimes if team members don’t have the right and authority to make decisions concerning their work, they often learn to hate it, causing the entire team’s productivity to suffer. It’s critical to provide all team members the opportunity to make their own judgments in order to keep them interested and working hard.

4. Recognition for every successful teamwork

What best way to encourage your team to work hard? Create small teamwork recognition programs, rewarding successful teamwork can be exciting for the team and it can encourage more collaboration success in the future. Find ways to publicly recognize effective teams’ efforts, whether by presenting them with an award in front of their peers or by publicizing their successes in a write-up. Teams who are united in succeeding, will continue together in exceeding.

5. Quickly identify and resolve communication problems

While conducting internal communications, assessment may appear to be an odd technique to improve teamwork, keep in mind that great cooperation is impossible without efficient communication. Taking preemptive steps to address communication conflicts and sources of that conflict in your organization such as, inability to meet deadlines, unresponsiveness, and interpersonal difficulties will make it easier for all of your employees to cooperate in the future.

6. Manage meetings tactfully

To increase the productivity of a team, it’s crucial that you keep the meetings focused and helpful. Teams should have a set plan for each meeting, regardless of how often they meet. This will aid in the organization and productivity of meetings, resulting in improved team performance. Meetings are for effective teamwork, brainstorming, and formulating a strategy for moving projects ahead. You may also ask your team members for feedback during the meeting in order to keep everything on track. Getting your team’s feedback on something does not have to be difficult or time-consuming.

Why teamwork in the workplace highly matters

Teamwork is the foundation of any successful business. Working with people of various backgrounds, abilities, and industries is popular in the developing knowledge economy. One person’s thinking cannot solve the sorts of large-scale issues that businesses must overcome in order to prosper. When the whole team is collaborating on a project, it will progress more quickly from the design stage to the execution phase even if the resources are limited. In terms of making judgments or putting up plans, teams that work together typically work quicker because they may draw on a greater range of ideas, talents, and experiences.

"Bita is EXACTLY what our facility needs. We have been working for a while at changing our image. She has joined us at precisely the right time. She is knowledgeable (extremely), hard working and committed to Quality Care. Because she is new, some leadership is challenging her, but she can handle it. The licensed nurses and CNAs LOVE her. She already has had a very positive impact. I am extremely grateful"
