How To Get Your Team To Work Together Part 1

One of the most important ingredients for a business to succeed is to have team unity. This can be very hard since there are some colleagues that don't play well with others. But working with team members that have a great relationship with others can be rewarding and make your workplace a fun place to go every day. So how can you accomplish this?

Open Your Door

Your team starts with you, the owner. Most of the time, your team is going to follow your lead. One of the most important things you can do is be approachable. Make sure that your team knows that your door is always open, and they can come to you, as their leader, with any problems that may arise. It can be very frustrating to have a boss whose door is always closed. If you do knock on their door, you feel like you just got in trouble for bothering them. Be the boss that everyone can feel comfortable coming to discuss things with. It will help relax your team members and your work environment.

No Gossip Policy

Nothing will kill teamwork in a business like gossip. Gossip is any rumor or talk of a personal, sensational or intimate nature that usually has a negative connotation. A person who habitually spreads intimate or private rumors or facts is a gossip. You must put a stop to gossip in your business. No one should talk about someone who isn't present unless they are complimenting them or in reference to work matters.

Gossip is a poison that can kill your business. Your team members must realize that they do not have to and should not participate in gossip. If you do decide to create a no gossip policy at your business, you must be firm. An offender gets one warning. If there is another occurrence, then the offender is terminated.

Team Building Exercises

Team building exercises have so many benefits for a business. First, your team will get to know each other better. Socializing and making friends while working on a fun project is a great way to increase productivity. Team building exercises will also increase communication between your team members, which will help them work together.

Team building exercises should be fun too. Having fun together is a great way to build team morale. The exercises do not have to be long. Short team building exercises every now and then can go a long way.
