Team Support Day

For team development, support and repair

Working together with colleagues can be productive, motivating and enjoyable. A friendly working environment gets the work done quicker, and both performance ratings and job satisfaction soar. However, working environments can also present us with challenges and difficulties, and on bad days, or in stressful periods, this can leave us feeling isolated, vulnerable, frustrated and de-motivated. The way to move forward in our working relationships is to feel confident that we can tackle issues in such a way that we promote progress and harmony in the team as as whole. We need to know that anything we say or do to resolve issues will leave everyone concerned feeling stronger and more positive than before.

This course is designed to help teams support and listen to each other in the course of (or in the wake of) difficult or stressful times. We might want to look at incidents from the past which are still affecting our ability to engage fully with the team or team members. Or we might simply want to find a way forward which will help us meet targets in a new spirit of togetherness and positivity.

With a mixture of enjoyable team-building exercises, and drawing on communication skills already learned, the day focuses on finding meaningful and worthwhile means of learning more about ourselves and our colleagues. We explore ways to overcome challenges which may initially seem daunting or impossible, and open up new ways of working with others.
