6 Ways to Improve Teamwork in the Workplace
4. Allocate tasks equally
Particular team members may be feeling tired and dull because there is an overburden of work on them. This can cause problems between them and lead to a team member feeling discriminated. This problem can be solved and teamwork can be improved by appropriate allocation of tasks so that there is equal burden on all team members. A sense of equality will make every team member feel that he or she is being treated fairly on all grounds.
5. Addressing HR issues urgently
Employee moral will go down immediately if human resources issues are not addressed immediately. Teamwork will increase automatically if employees feel that they are an asset to the company. They should feel that the company is looking after their needs in all possible ways. This can only be done by ensuring that all HR issues are sorted out by qualified HR staff or managers immediately, whether it is a complaint about discrimination or a casual rumor about workplace policy violations by certain team members.
6. Reprimand team members who try to create interpersonal rifts
In any group, there are chances that there will be one person who will try to create problems between two other people. Managers should keep an eye out for such employees and talk with them immediately at the slightest of concerns. They should be clearly told that their nasty tactics will not be tolerated and a stern warning should be given. All other team members should also be warned so that they don’t come under the influence of such a manipulative co-worker.
