Team building and engagement
All senior managers know that to achieve goals as a company you need all of your people to be firing on all cylinders, but you may feel you are far away from that ideal:
- You may have a team who are not as productive, proactive or effective as they should be
- You may be finding it difficult to attract and retain the quality of people you need
- It may be difficult to manage change – people are resisting and not adopting new ways of working
- There may be too much conflict and negativity, with time lost in arguments and misunderstandings
- Your team may have had a tough time, they may be feeling tired and de-motivated
- You may, as a manager, be drawn into operational issues too much – you long for people to take more initiative and be more self-managing
- Or you may be building a new team, who need to be fully effective in the shortest possible time – you have no time for a slow learning curve
The Orbit team have many years of experience of managing and inspiring teams of people to achieve exceptional things. We can work with teams or pairs of people working together, or even help you change culture or engage your whole workforce.
How does it work?
First we need to understand your objectives and challenges – Why is it vital to build the team? How would you ideally like them to work? What do you want them to achieve? What is preventing them from working well as a team? We always meet the team to find out the root of the issues.
Are there problems in:
- Skills – Do they know how to do the job?
- Attitudes –Do they have the right mindset? How are the relationships working? How aligned are they to what the company needs to achieve?
- Structures – Are they supported in the right way by their accountability and incentives, the structure, facilities, working methodology etc
From this we will be able to design a programme to bring about the right motivation, teamwork and engagement.
Our team –building and engagement programmes typically involve a combination of:
- Work with individuals on a one-to-one basis – assessment and one-to-one coaching and mentoring
- Team building workshop sessions
- Advice on how to maintain the results through long-term management, communication and support structures
Through this we are able to generate meaningful and long-lasting change.
