HR's Role in Team Building

Human Resource (HR) professionals are uniquely positioned to play a very active role in cultivating an organizational culture where teamwork is not only possible but can thrive. Without effective teams, there wouldn’t be effective organizations. After all, people are the backbone of every organization. Therefore, every prospering organization needs an HR section that knows how to build and maintain quality teams. Creating a great team environment is about reconciling individual temperaments and work styles to get the most out of each contributor and the team. HR must play a pivotal role in ensuring that teams are working towards common goals. HR managers are in charge of recruiting, interviewing, training, motivating, rewarding, and measuring performance. When HR develops a comprehensive employee experience that includes team-building strategies that align with an organization’s purpose, brand, and culture, the organization will flourish. It is through all of these elements that HR helps to empower teams at all levels to become cohesive, functional, and effective. This requires strategic thinking, planning, and implementation from HR professionals. Excellence is not achieved in isolation. Excellence is created through the merging of people’s differing talents and strengths. This live webinar will focus on best practices and practical strategies for how HR can impact team development throughout every aspect of the organization. This material will help HR professionals expand their strategic impact on the organization and contribute to building a better workplace through stronger teams.
