Lack of collaboration is hurting your company more than you realize.

A Salesforce survey of more than 1,400 corporate executives, employees and educators "found that 86% of participants believed that lack of collaboration was responsible for workplace failures." And a recent study by Harvard Business Review revealed the time spent by managers and employees in collaborative activities has ballooned by 50% or more.

Communication and collaboration breakdowns happen just as much and sometimes more online than they do in-person. And they're affecting the happiness and productivity of your team. Forced online during the pandemic, employees had to learn to interact without many established norms. This has led to frustrations, resentments, and division among team members. And leaders struggle to manage employees in this whole new arena.

Now more than ever knowing how to communicate and collaborate effectively in person and online is an essential skillset.

If any of the following have developed amongst your team, it's time to nip these behaviours in the bud:

• Difficulties collaborating with others
• Passive aggressive behaviour at in person, online or hybrid style meetings, or on messaging platforms
• Presenteeism
• Lack of regard for meeting start times, or lack of regard for professionalism & culture while in online meetings
• Monopolizing online meeting time
• Calling meetings when phone calls would do the job
• Overwhelm or lack of adoption stemming from the volume of online collaboration tools you're using
• Resentment of remote staff members by those who are required to work on-site

Participants will also learn how to mitigate external conflict with clients, constituents, and vendors by communicating and collaborating effectively.

This workshop will be tailored specifically to the issues your organization is facing. Leaders will learn how to navigate the communication and collaboration  breakdowns that happen within teams, and how to lead and to foster collaboration in this new online reality.
