What Are the True Secrets to Building a Strong Team? (3 Tips from Recruitment Experts)
When it comes to team building, there are countless aspects that should be considered. We should know – as recruitment experts, we’re essentially professional team builders! It would be impossible to include all the secrets to building a strong team in one article, so we’ve narrowed it down to 3 that we think are super important as a good place to start.
1. Strong bonds between team members within the workplace
Fostering an environment that allows employees to build strong bonds within the workplace is crucial to great team building. We know that not everyone is going to get along in the same way, but some of the best and strongest connections are actually forged in the workplace. What better way to strengthen the bonds within a team than to offer a space where genuine care and respect towards colleagues can flourish?
2. Common goals
Establishing and communicating what the common goals are is team building 101. Not only does the team need to know their own personal goals, but they also need to be in the know when it comes to team goals, and the overarching goals of the company. Only when everyone is on the same page, will you find that the team becomes a truly cohesive and collaborative unit.
3. Shared leadership
This one’s important. A team doesn’t want to be talked down to or micromanaged. They want to feel like they’re part of the bigger picture, that their work is being recognised, and they feel a sense of fulfilment and purpose within the team and the wider company. By including team members in relevant management decisions and allowing their voices to be heard as equals, not just cogs in a wheel, your team will have all the opportunity and support they need to flourish. Also, it’s not just the manager’s role to drive the ship – the crew are just as important when it comes to keeping things afloat.
By building a resilient team that bonds, shares goals, and collaboratively steers the ship you’ll have a strong team for a long time!
