Optimise Team Culture
Define simple team rules and improve processes to help manage workload
Identify the team stress trigger points and plan how to mitigate them
Agree some methods to improve communication, relationships and focus time
The UK Health & Safety Executive identifies the two biggest causes of workplace stress as workload and relationships within a team.
Studies show higher performing teams have higher levels of trust, built on simple processes and easily understood core values. (Team culture often isn’t the same as organisational culture.)
Why This Session?
This session was inspired by the simple understanding that teams are not run by rows of machines, but by a collection of people. All of the people within a team have preferred ways of working to help them contribute the most of their intellect, experience and expertise. The challenge is very few teams have had a conversation to understand what this looks like for each individual and then collectively agree some ways of working that help get the best from everyone.
This can result in individuals working hard but the team not working effectively. Taking the form of challenges managing workload, finding it difficult to solve important problems and people struggling with stress and work/ life balance.
The Optimise Team Culture session is a like having a person on-site to help you declutter your house. Clear away the things you don’t need, tidy the things that matter most and agree some simple routines to keep it looking (and performing) nice. To progress from a group of skilled individuals to a high performing team.
