TRAINING OVERVIEW

Although the purpose of our organizations often draws individuals to the workplace, once hired the focal point becomes their experience on the team. Since the pandemic, we have seen significant changes in the workplace, arguably with the most significant impact occurring at the team level.  Critical changes such as loss of staff, hybrid/ remote work and change in team priorities have impacted team culture, in both positive and challenging ways. Knowing the current landscape, how can we evaluate and elevate team experience, building a pipeline of talent necessary for the future?

Building the talent pipeline requires a focus on building and developing various attributes that lead to a positive and productive team culture. This session will provide an overview of the four critical variables leading to positive productive teams.

  • Team Trust- possessing a firm belief in the ability, integrity, altruistic motives of the team.
  • Team Foundation- the team follows a self–organizing process – possessing common identity of purpose, values, and norms. A clearly identified foundation guides the team in their day-to-day interactions as well as decisions that set the stage for the future.
  • Team Cognition- collectively the team possesses relevant knowledge, shares information and encourages learning.
  • Team Resilience-  faced with challenging circumstances, the team can focus on capabilities, assets and positive attributes.

Participants will have the opportunity to take the Team Culture assessment prior to the session.
