What is teamwork?

“Teamwork is the result of a team effectively working together. It relies on a range of vital factors for success, including good communication skills, mutual respect, complementary skill sets covering all required competencies, defined leadership and defined decision-making procedures.”

What is team building?

Team building is a collective term for various types of activities used to enhance social relations and define roles within teams, often involving collaborative tasks. It is distinct from team training, which is designed by a combine of business managers, learning and development/OD (Internal or external) and an HR Business Partner (if the role exists) to improve the efficiency, rather than interpersonal relations.

Many team-building exercises aim to expose and address interpersonal problems within the group.

Over time, these activities are intended to improve performance in a team-based environment. Team building is one of the foundations of organisational development that can be applied to groups such as sports teams, school classes, military units or flight crews. The formal definition of team-building includes:

• aligning around goals
• building effective working relationships
• reducing team members’ role ambiguity
• finding solutions to team problems

Team building is one of the most widely used group-development activities in organisations. A common strategy is to have a “team-building retreat” or “corporate love-in”, where team members try to address underlying concerns and build trust by engaging in activities that are not part of what they ordinarily do as a team.

Why is this online Teamwork and Team Building training course essential?

It is easy to confuse the terms “team-building” and “teamwork,” but they are two distinct concepts. Team building focuses on the formation of groups, while teamwork concentrates on the function of groups; both are vital for success. Understanding the basics of team building and teamwork can increase your effectiveness as either a leader or a valued member of a group.

Team building activities that require coworkers to work together to solve problems can improve the ability to think rationally and strategically. Overall, team building in the workplace enables better communication, better relationships and ultimately increases productivity yourself.
