Team working

The aim
Teams do not simply form themselves. Managing and participating in a team involves more than merely bringing people together and following instructions.

About the program
Team-based structures are the most effective and rewarding way for people to work together. Team workers are motivated, satisfied, productive and flexible. Such businesses are more responsive to change and perform better than traditional hierarchies.

Through a combination of drama and documentary, Team working illustrates how team working avoids duplication of effort and allows members to share knowledge and experience; that teams need to value people and their ideas and allow everyone to participate; that teams need to establish their own ground rules; that projects need to be carefully planned with goals set, stages defined and progress reviewed; and how successful teams recognize individual strengths.

The benefits
-Comprising 2 videos, the first video (Team Working) looks at what it really means to work as part of a team.
-The second video (Conflict Resolution) focuses on the relationship between two team members, and how to analyze and resolve conflict.
