How team building can be the key to profit building

The Secret Ingredient To Team Building

Indoor rock climbing is fun. Motivational speakers can inspire. Group activities help bond your team. But the secret ingredient to team building is the very simple question of how well you and your managers know and understand your team.

Don't confuse simple with easy.

It is easy to book a day at the indoor rock climbing centre.

It takes hard work to learn what motivates your team and implement workshop, development and training opportunities to build that team into a strong unit.

Prosell has done the hard yards in terms of proven team building processes and motivating team strategies - from research to implementation, testing and monitoring.

The verdict is in - team building is crucial to improving performance and sales

While it has long been assumed that team building is a significant contributing factor to performance, growth and sales, a number of research studies over the past 10 years have proved this to be true.

A 2000 study that compared companies with a focus on quality work life with control group companies found that those organisations with engaged employees had an average sales growth rate of 23.1% while the control group showed only 14.5%.

The top 5 factors that engage and retain employees

• Feeling that job has meaning and purpose
• Feeling trusted to do job well
• Having access to good training and development opportunities
• Being valued, recognised and rewarded
• Having good relationships with co-workers and management

What this means for your team building

It means that you and/or your management team may need to skill up in certain areas. You may be lucky enough to have a sales team or workforce who are hard workers and who all get along well with each other.

But this on its own does not create effective team building. Having a team that get along well is not the same thing as creating an engaged team who are highly motivated.

How confident are you that each member of your team feels satisfied in the above 5 Factors?
