Teambuilding Workshops

Getting your employees focused on a set of common goals – and ensuring that employees work together effectively in pursuit of these goals -- is perhaps the biggest challenge faced by all organizations.

While the exact format and structure of a teambuilding workshop depends on the issues being addressed and the size of the work group that is participating, common examples of teambuilding activities include the following:

  • Clarifying group goals, including the expected outcomes/results from attaining these goals
  • Identifying individual roles and responsibilities within the group
  • Identifying barriers to goal achievement (such as communication issues, lack of authority or ownership, skill or knowledge gaps, lack of manpower, lack of organizational rewards or support, lack of direction or leadership, etc.)
  • Developing strategies/plans to optimize communication and coordination between employees within the same work group, as well as outside work groups
  • Developing follow-up strategies (and mechanisms) to monitor performance improvements and make additional corrections

In many cases, there are additional (usually preparatory) steps that also accompany teambuilding activities – for example, organizational surveys may be administered to highlight important issues impacting the team, or one-on-one interviews with team members may be conducted to summarize key topics prior to the actual group teambuilding meeting.

PDP can be counted on to partner with your organization through each step of the teambuilding process, including the determination of what specific teambuilding activities are most appropriate for your situation.
