Team reconnection sessions
- How do you get your team all working together and pulling in the same direction? How do you capture that valuable corporate knowledge that resides in people's heads? By holding a team reconnection session or 'reflections meeting'. Teams can celebrate their achievements, identify challenges and consider lessons learned, with a focus on future improvements and agreed values and behaviours. It's an effective way to retain staff and their corporate knowledge, while improving teamwork and day-to-day efficiency.
- Other benefits of team reconnection sessions:
- Share lessons learned and expertise between team members.
- Enable staff to see how organisational values align to their own individual roles.
- Understand individual working styles and how these impact teamwork.
- Gauge team culture and morale - is everyone on the same page?
- Promote a continuous improvement culture in your team.
- Increase staff engagement, job satisfaction and resolve issues.
- Improve relationships with delivery partners and stakeholders by inviting them to the reflections meeting.
- Collect once, use many times: information gathered during the meeting can be used for multiple purposes, including forward planning, communications and marketing, and reporting to clients and investors.
- Team reconnection sessions are:
- flexible and tailored to the culture and preferences of each team.
- cost-effective – a short simple process that can be done in-house.
- inclusive – can include delivery partners and stakeholders if desired.
- professionally facilitated using a proven process that works.
