Do you remember those awful group projects in school? Yes, the ones where a lot of the time you were stuck doing most of the work because others weren’t pulling their weight or because there was poor planning. It was the reality of school projects. Unfortunately, you may find yourself in the same situation, 20 years later in a different environment, this time with fellow employees. You may find yourself doing most of the work because of poor planning or because other employees are not contributing. Just as this was awful in school, it is awful in the workplace. However, there is a way to fix this situation and help your team be more productive and efficient, without leaving you to do all the work: collaboration.
There has been an increase in team projects in the workplace in recent years, so it is very likely that you will work on a team sometime during your career. With the increase in team projects, collaboration in the workplace has become much more of a focus for management, and the digitalization of many workplaces has only increased this even more. The process of collaborating is one of the biggest factors in the success of a team, so it is important to learn to collaborate effectively in the workplace.
What is collaboration in the workplace? Collaboration in the workplace is when team members and departments work together in accomplishing a project. Successful collaboration occurs when teams are highly efficient and are able to combine individual skill sets in achieving a common goal. Teams will make decisions together, but that doesn’t mean they need to be together. Today, with the increase of options to communicate across distances, teams can meet together over the phone or online. Regardless of if the team meets in-person or over a digital platform, they can work together to accomplish their goals. There are many benefits to this collaboration process.
