TEAM BUILDING
Program Overview / Business Need
Just as families don’t necessarily get to choose siblings, coworkers don’t necessarily get to choose who they will share office cubes with or be called on to complete projects together. This course can be structured to support managers in creating a work unit or department climate where employees get to know each other differently. They will be taught skill sets in a fun and creative way that allow them to understand who they are as individuals, see how they function in the workplace and open up to the possibility of experiencing how others operate on a team. The process can help team members realize why all members create a better whole and how they can interact more cohesively as a team in order to achieve goals while keeping their on value sets in place.
