1. More fun
While individual work can be rewarding, it's often more fun to work alongside other people. Group work allows for side conversations and short rests that may improve the quality of the work that the team is producing.
These shared wins often unite teams even more and propel them forward. A fun way to acknowledge your team's efforts and increase motivation is to celebrate wins.
2. More communication
Teammates who trust each other can feel safe communicating openly and effectively, which may lead to greater collaboration. Collaborative teamwork happens when everyone contributes equally to solving a problem or creating something new by offering their unique skill set or expertise.
You may try introducing collaboration at work by having team members take turns leading meetings and initiatives or reporting changes in direction and positive outcomes. Or you may require every team member to offer a solution during a brainstorming session with the understanding that all ideas hold equal value.
3. More creativity
By encouraging your team members to communicate often and openly, you're cultivating a sense of trust and camaraderie where employees can share ideas without scrutiny, which may result in greater creativity. You may want to consider an open office arrangement if your team works together in person. This open space may help your team exchange ideas easily and encourage spontaneous, creative work sessions.
