The latest research from IBM shown here highlights the power of teams – the difference between Traditional and Team-driven workplaces. It’s compelling evidence to say the least – pushing all 7 characteristics of healthy organizations above the 60% range. Imagine how powerful your workplace would be if 73% of employees trusted management as much as each other. And Engagement was 73% instead of 37% in traditional workplaces. And Alignment around the organization was 65% instead of 40%. The list goes on…
What is a Team-driven workplace?
Simple: employees do most of their work on a team vs. doing most of their work alone. What it doesn’t mean is attending meetings all day! In a Team-driven workplace, employees choose to form and participate on teams because they know it’s the best way to achieve goals. A team-driven workplace –
- encourages people to form and participate on teams
- features team goals in addition to individual goals
- includes reward systems designed to embrace teams
- is often more cross-functional than department-centered
- centers around passion for the team over technical skills
- features managers who support employees to work in teams
- focuses on building internal expertise vs. hiring the expertise
- centers around company impacts over department impacts
