There's no stronger work force than one that's united. A team-driven culture can set the foundation for success, leading to more satisfied and engaged employees that will increase creativity and performance levels. If your company is struggling with common workplace problems such as interpersonal conflict, low motivation or job satisfaction, or lack of communication, collaboration technology can help boost workplace performance and quality of office life.
Here are a few simple ways you can use collaboration technology to nurture a team-driven culture today:
1. Create a collaborative environment
Provide spaces where employees can work together with ease. Consider open floor plans, huddle spaces, or innovation labs with collaboration software for your team to share projects, ideas, agendas, and more. Providing different types of collaboration spaces supports the different ways that people work together.
2. Encourage Clear Communication
The clearer your objectives are, the more likely they will be achieved. Presenting objectives in a visual and engaging manner will make them more memorable. Collaboration solutions that allow you to present, update, and share information in real time is a great way to increase clarity and keep everyone on the same page.
3. Foster + Reward Creativity
If you want to stay innovative, fostering creativity is a must. Consider holding contests for new concept art, designs, product development ideas, etc to inspire creativity. For new creative projects, displaying designs side by side and inviting members from different departments to provide feedback can encourage fresh ideas. Rewarding creativity can be as elaborate as a bonus or as simple as recognizing an innovative concept at a company meeting. Doing this on a large digital surface makes it more accessible for everyone.
4. Provide Time + Space for employees to get to know each other
The best way to create a team is to allow your team members to spend time together. Whether this is a thirty minute break or a team-building course, allowing employees to get to know the people behind the job titles will build a sense of community and loyalty to one another. Encouraging employees to use collaboration software for fun as well as work, creating holiday messages, sharing pictures of their families, or inviting each other to upcoming community events can increase camaraderie and job satisfaction.
