We are all familiar with the saying “teamwork makes the dream work.” It’s true that the efforts of the many are far more effective than the that of an individual. But the question is how do we build a workplace that shows that they value team-oriented employees? Fostering a collaborative work environment does not happen overnight and it is not always the easiest endeavor. However, the benefits of creating a space where employees feel comfortable sharing their ideas and working as a team increases employee satisfaction and allows for greater customer care.
