Organizational Development Conference 2022
Team building when employees work as a team, they communicate. They talk to each other about the task at hand and the best way to achieve the desired result. They strategize, divide themselves into smaller groups, hold discussions and try to finish the task in the most efficient manner. Communication also allows employees to understand their roles and what their peers are doing. When employees know what their team members are doing, they can check up on the progress made and help each other out if someone cannot reach their goal.
As we listened to the journey of our institution as discussed by our CEO yesterday, we were made aware of the 9 Institutional Objectives from which we have anchored our respective department’s objectives. With the understanding of the institutional and departmental objectives that guides us towards the path that shall enable us achieve our mission and vision particularly on:
- Transformative education
- Internal linkages
- Quality management system (EOMS as well as PACUCOA)
The games we had yesterday made everyone enjoy and have fun. Through these games we played we were able to:
- Build ONE BIG TEAM
- We were able to see how OPEN COMMUNICATION allowed each team achieve its goals – the number of words uttered did not prevent the team from understanding the direction for the achievement of the same goal in mind.
- CREATIVITY – we all went out of the box, which shows we are innovative
- LEADERSHIP – one of the many members of the group stood out and called the shots, ideas poured in during the planning and upon reaching the agreement everyone worked together without hesitation, rejection, negativity but instead everyone followed and contributed to complete the task TOWARDS THE RIGHT DIRECTION
