Team Bonding in the Contemporary Workplace
Team bonding is the practice of strengthening relationships among employees within an organization through activities that support employees in building communication, and encouraging trust and cooperation. Modern organizations often have employee teams that span cross-functional and cross-hierarchical relationships, as well as diverse backgrounds. Without team bonding, organizations run the risk of building a culture with misunderstanding, silos, and disengagement.
Effective team bonding:
- Promotes constructive, two-way communication
