A frightening statistic! The problem is that if you don't have an engaged team, you're not performing at your best, and that's going to have an impact on productivity. Google addressed this problem in 2015 (Project Aristotle) and launched a study of 180 teams across the company. The study revealed that the most important thing for teams was to create a safe space to take risks, i.e., sharing negative feedback, experiences without fear of recrimination, leaders who lead with vulnerability. So, how can you and your team create this "safe space"?
Depending on your budget, you can choose between short workshops and more personalized support. These interventions work very well in conjunction with interactive tools. The first is the assessment THE TEAM'S PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETYwhich explores the following elements to give an overview of how your team behaves towards each other: appreciation, mutual support, problem management, asking for help, interpersonal risk-taking and reaction to mistakes. The second tool DIVERSITY MURAL is the first step in fostering an inclusive team environment where everyone feels valued.
It's proven that once teams work on these issues, their performance and well-being improve, enabling them to meet challenges such as doing more with less, adapting quickly to unforeseen circumstances, and constantly improving and innovating. There is less turnover and fewer professional burn outs.

"Everything that irritates us in others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves". This quote from Carl Jung beautifully sums up the problems and solutions involved in adapting to other people's working styles. Perhaps you've already felt irritated when someone moves too fast for you, favoring action over reflection. Or how about frustration when a colleague takes too long to make a decision? What about someone who needs to talk endlessly about their ideas?
If you're not aware of your own working style or that of others, you can quickly become annoyed and irritated, which can then become an obstacle to good collaboration.
Personality assessment tools can help you understand the motivating and stress factors for you, your teammates and important stakeholders. Once you know what they are, you can start to adapt.
Assessment tool DiSC assessment tool is an effective way of discovering your working style and that of others. It can be used to create powerful, interactive team workshops.

We work under increasing pressure to do more with less. In these circumstances, we know that good team communication can cease to be a priority and lead to tension. If left unchecked, teams can experience real breakdowns in relationships, and performance suffers as a result.
The creation of a mediation between individuals or a team provides an impartial forum for those affected by these tensions to communicate fully and reach mutual agreements for their future working relationships.
In good time, problems can be addressed and resolved before permanent damage is done to working relationships, which, if left unresolved, can often lead to stress and health problems.
