Team Based Working
The primary benefits an organisation gets when it adopts
a Team Based Working approach are:
  |
To increase the productivity of the work
group in terms of output, quality, effectiveness and customer
satisfaction. |
 |
 |
  |
To give responsibility and ownership for
work to the team. |
 |
 |
  |
To release the latent, untapped potential
inherent in all teams. |
 |
 |
  |
To improve the satisfaction gained by members
of the team in performing their roles. |
 |
 |
  |
To give Managers the opportunity to support
their teams and thus pay attention to both performance
and people issues. |
 |
 |
  |
To improve communication across teams. |
From VITAL RESOURCES experience of working with teams
in Organisations, there are five key factors which will help
you succeed.
1. The team must understand what teamworking means.
There has to be a process of education.
2. The Leadership of the team has to be appropriate.
The leader must change from "Cop to Coach", and
have a clear understanding of the big picture and what is
possible by empowering groups.
3. No team works in isolation therefore areas that
"Support" the team must understand and be educated
in Team Based Working Techniques.
 |
4. Senior Management
must demonstrate their commitment to the concept of Team
Based Working. This commitment must include not only thinking
teambuilding is a good idea but behaving in a manner that
will encourage the team concept. What we call the "Passion".
|
5. Team members need to be given tools and techniques
to allow them to take control/responsibility.
