When there\u2019s collaboration in the workplace, it can increase productivity, job satisfaction, and make a huge difference to the innovation and culture of your business.\n\nCollaboration doesn\u2019t always come naturally however. Sometimes it needs a little help. We\u2019re here to take you through how to create an environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork so you can reap the benefits.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A woman sits at her desk while her colleagues chat to her\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16906 aligncenter\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4.png\" width=\"1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4.png 1728w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/4-440x258.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"why-should-employers-focus-on-building-workplace-collaboration\">Why should employers focus on building workplace collaboration?<\/h2>\nThere are plenty of reasons why employers should actively try to build and improve workplace collaboration. Here are just a few\u2026\n<h3 id=\"to-enhance-problem-solving-and-innovation\">To enhance problem solving and innovation<\/h3>\nMany hands make light work, particularly when it comes to finding solutions to new challenges. Whether it&#8217;s figuring out a customer issue or coming up with a new branding idea, it can be really helpful to bring in new perspectives. You might just be surprised at what is suggested.\n<h3 id=\"to-increase-productivity\">To increase productivity<\/h3>\nFor a busy team, it can be easy for individuals to get bogged down in their own workloads. However, before you know it, smaller groups end up working in silos and communication goes out the window. That can be problematic \u2013 stats show that more than <a href=\"https:\/\/emlteam.com\/statistics-on-the-importance-of-teamwork-and-collaboration\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">50% of employees<\/a> say their jobs are reliant on collaboration.\n\nFor collaboration in the workplace, it\u2019s important that teams all talk to each other, spreading the workload and ensuring that processes are as streamlined as possible.\n<h3 id=\"to-improve-employee-engagement\">To improve employee engagement<\/h3>\nUs humans are social creatures. While not everyone likes to work in a team full-time, creating an environment where people can work together, reach out for advice or just brainstorm over a coffee can make a huge difference to employee engagement.\n\nIt also supports strong workplace relationships. Statistics show that employees are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zippia.com\/advice\/workplace-collaboration-statistics\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">17% more satisfied<\/a> with their jobs when they engage in collaboration at work.\n<h2 id=\"common-barriers-when-trying-to-boost-team-collaboration\">Common barriers when trying to boost team collaboration<\/h2>\nCreating a collaborative workplace doesn\u2019t come easy. Here\u2019s\n\nto look out for in your workspace.\n<h3 id=\"communication-challenges\">Communication challenges<\/h3>\nAs individuals with our own outlooks, backgrounds and communication styles, it can be difficult to get everyone on the same page.\n\nIn the case of workplace collaboration, discussions and team projects can be stunted when coworkers are struggling to communicate. There could also be a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/resources\/guide-to-internal-company-communications\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lack of communication<\/a>, in a workplace where people aren\u2019t used to reaching out to others for ideas and input. Overcoming communication challenges is a key barrier to facilitating effective collaboration and discussion.\n<h3 id=\"lack-of-trust\">Lack of trust<\/h3>\nImagine this \u2013 you\u2019re in a meeting room, taking part in a brainstorming session. You\u2019ve got a great idea, but you have no idea how it will be received and you worry it could affect what people think about your abilities. You can\u2019t trust your colleagues to respect your input and in the end, you decide to just stay quiet.\n\nThat lack of trust and confidence at work is the enemy of team collaboration. It can mean that only the loudest voices in the room get a say, while the quieter ones get pushed to the side. When only a few take part in a team activity, that\u2019s not effective collaboration.\n<h3 id=\"unclear-goals-and-roles\">Unclear goals and roles<\/h3>\nJust like ships have captains, movies have directors and companies have leaders \u2013 big team efforts require specific roles to keep everything on track.\n\nCollaborative environments are much the same. There should be clear roles for everyone involved, whether that\u2019s steering the direction of the conversation or bringing a specific, unique perspective to the table. If there\u2019s no set goals and roles for team collaboration, it\u2019s really easy for discussions and projects to become derailed.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16904 aligncenter\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM.png\" width=\"1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM.png 1728w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/3-5.38.01-PM-440x258.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"8-effective-strategies-for-creating-collaborative-teams\">8 effective strategies for creating collaborative teams<\/h2>\nThere are plenty of practical ways in which leaders can enable collaboration. Here\u2019s a few ideas to get you started.\n<h3 id=\"1-clearly-define-goals-and-objectives\">1. Clearly define goals and objectives<\/h3>\nFor effective collaboration, every team member involved needs to be aware of the end goals. After all, if you end up with five ideas after a discussion, none of which truly meet what you\u2019re trying to achieve, then that time has not been spent productively. Be clear about what this collaborative effort is for.\n<h3 id=\"2-ensure-effective-communication-channels\">2. Ensure effective communication channels<\/h3>\nGreat collaboration comes from smooth communication. <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/communication-in-the-workplace\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Make communication easy<\/a>, whether that\u2019s building specific digital channels for discussion or setting aside in-person time to discuss and brainstorm. Keep conversation flowing and ensure that everyone feels heard.\n<h3 id=\"3-establish-trust-and-psychological-safety\">3. Establish trust and psychological safety<\/h3>\nThis is a tricky one as you can\u2019t establish a workplace based in trust in just a day. A supportive work environment where people feel comfortable around each other comes from the company culture. Take steps to improve your work culture and ensure people feel <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/emotional-intelligence-in-the-workplace\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">happy around each other and respected<\/a>. This will make it easier for them to collaborate openly.\n<h3 id=\"4-define-roles-and-responsibilities\">4. Define roles and responsibilities<\/h3>\nTake advantage of the skills in your team by being clear about what everyone brings to the table, and how they fit in the broader discussion. It\u2019s helpful for everyone if <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/how-to-delegate-effectively\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they know what their role and responsibilities<\/a> are in a collaborative environment, whether that\u2019s handling a specific aspect of a project or taking on a project manager role.\n<h3 id=\"5-assemble-teams-with-diverse-skillsets-and-perspectives\">5. Assemble teams with diverse skillsets and perspectives<\/h3>\nBuilding on that previous point, there\u2019s no point in having a collaborative environment where most of the people take on the same roles and responsibilities. Teams with diverse skillsets and perspectives are perfect for innovation and ideas. Make sure that you\u2019re bringing in a variety of employees when collaborating.\n<h3 id=\"6-encourage-open-and-constructive-feedback\">6. Encourage open and constructive feedback<\/h3>\nFor many people, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/blog\/giving-feedback-to-employees\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">receiving feedback can be a daunting situation<\/a>. However, it doesn\u2019t have to be. An environment where people feel comfortable enough to challenge other ideas in a respectful manner is one where new ideas are easily generated. Feedback is also an opportunity to build on an existing concept and mould it into something better. It\u2019s a critical facet of a successful collaborative environment.\n<h3 id=\"7-provide-opportunity-for-skill-development\">7. Provide opportunity for skill development<\/h3>\nNothing broadens the mind like learning something new. Give your teams the gift of new outlooks and ideas by providing opportunities for learning and development. It\u2019s not just personally and professionally beneficial for them, but leaders and employers benefit from an innovative, revitalised workforce. Consider implementing something like a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/products\/employee-learning-management-system\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">learning management system<\/a> for easy, self-directed development.\n<h3 id=\"8-recognise-and-celebrate-achievements\">8. Recognise and celebrate achievements<\/h3>\nPart of creating that collaborative environment where people feel comfortable and confident in their contributions comes from recognising their achievements. Team leaders should ensure that they\u2019re regularly celebrating milestones and rewarding employees who are absolutely nailing their role. It\u2019ll give them that important boost of confidence for the next project.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Man sits on a conference call, with his colleagues visible on his laptop screen\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16909 aligncenter\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/1-1.png\" width=\"1728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1.png 1728w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-1536x901.png 1536w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-864x508.png 864w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/my\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/12\/1-1-440x258.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1728px) 100vw, 1728px\" \/>\n<h2 id=\"what-about-creating-a-collaborative-workplace-for-remote-teams\">What about creating a collaborative workplace for remote teams?<\/h2>\nAs the post-pandemic remote work revolution has shown, team collaboration in the workplace isn\u2019t reliant on getting everyone in the same room. There\u2019s plenty of ways in which remote work teams can collaborate effectively, facilitated by the fantastic technology we now have at our fingertips.\n\nHere are three key ways in which team leaders can ensure effective virtual collaboration:\n<h3 id=\"1-make-the-most-of-technology\">1. Make the most of technology<\/h3>\nYou don&#8217;t need terrible metaverse avatars in fake meeting rooms (sorry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/news\/mark-zuckerberg-metaverse-selfie-avatar-horizon-worlds-updates-20220821\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Zuckerberg<\/a>). However, a few really useful tools can make collaboration easy. Think project management software, where different team members can be given specific tasks, conferencing tools or brainstorming software where people can pop ideas on a virtual whiteboard. Invest in the best and keep communication easy.\n<h3 id=\"2-regularly-check-in\">2. Regularly check-in<\/h3>\nIt can be easy for remote workers to get stuck into their own work and operate in silos, but this can be problematic for collaboration. Team leaders should facilitate regular video check-ins so that everyone is in one place online. When everyone is aware of what is happening in the team, it also increases the chance of new ideas coming to the fore.\n<h3 id=\"3-foster-interpersonal-relationships\">3. Foster interpersonal relationships<\/h3>\nYou may all be at work, but it doesn\u2019t have to be business all the time. To create a comfortable environment of camaraderie, encourage informal communication such as dedicated chat channels for non-work-related topics. Consider setting up some virtual team-building activities or social events so teams have the chance to build a rapport.\n<h2 id=\"examples-of-successful-collaboration-in-the-workplace\">Examples of successful collaboration in the workplace<\/h2>\nA few companies are well-known for facilitating collaboration, both remotely and in person. Here\u2019s a few examples.\n<h3 id=\"google\">Google<\/h3>\nGoogle is known for fostering a collaborative work environment through open office spaces, shared spaces for idea exchange, and the famous concept of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/12\/16\/google-20-percent-rule-shows-exactly-how-much-time-you-should-spend-learning-new-skills.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;20% time&#8221;<\/a> where employees can dedicate a portion of their work hours to projects of their interest.\n<h3 id=\"netflix\">Netflix<\/h3>\nNetflix has a culture of freedom and responsibility, where collaboration thrives through its <a href=\"https:\/\/jobs.netflix.com\/culture\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Culture Memo&#8221;<\/a> and the emphasis on candid feedback and open discussions. The company encourages cross-functional collaboration by forming small, agile teams that work closely together to innovate and create content.\n<h3 id=\"atlassian\">Atlassian<\/h3>\nAs a company that develops software tools for team collaboration, Atlassian embodies collaborative practices in its own workplace. They promote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlassian.com\/company\/careers\/resources\/culture\/values-in-action\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">transparency, autonomy, and cross-team collaboration<\/a>, allowing employees to share ideas and work across departments easily using their own products like Jira, Confluence, and Trello.\n<h3 id=\"salesforce\">Salesforce<\/h3>\nSalesforce focuses on collaboration in the workplace through its internal social platform called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/slack\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chatter<\/a>, which allows employees to connect, share ideas, and collaborate across teams and departments.

Asana is a task and project management tool that can help you manage those endless goals and priorities. Manage projects with other remote team members, assign responsibilities and get notifications in real-time when a teammate completes a milestone.\n\nAsana also allows you to set timeframes and deadlines for easy time tracking and have transparency across your projects so that you can see what everyone has planned for their workday and for the week ahead.\n\u00a0\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\" data-trigger-modal=\"request-a-demo-modal\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-content-justification-space-between is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-14 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-link-arrow is-style-link-arrow--3\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-btn-brand-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/resources\/?topic%5B0%5D%5B0%5D=Product\">View all<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-query blog-3-col-query-loop is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul class=\"columns-3 alignfull wp-block-post-template is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-2 wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li class=\"wp-block-post post-27027 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized resource-type-blog\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color has-neutral-100-border-color has-white-background-color has-background is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:1px;min-height:100%\"><figure style=\"aspect-ratio:16\/9;width:100%;height:100%;
