Teamwork Vs Teambuilding

Team Work Teambuilding

Team-building is “the ability to identify and


motivate individual employees to form a team
Teamwork is “the process of working collaboratively
that stays together, works together, and
with a group of people in order to achieve a goal”
achieves together
Benefits of team-building
1. Employee Engagement
When employees feel that they are able to openly discuss ideas and work together to improve processes with both
tenacity and honesty, they become more invested in the organization and its people. They will also develop a
greater sense of loyalty and will become more engaged.
This is because they feel that they are part of something, and they can see how their work is directly impacting not
only the organization, but also the people that they are working with. This motivates teams to work as hard as they
possibly can.
2. Morale
Team-building boosts morale and psychological safety. By dividing the risk between members of a team,
individuals feel more inclined to take risks and offer potentially risky ideas. This is because the responsibility is
spread amongst the team rather than falling on one person's shoulders.
This can encourage people to put themselves out there, and also gain confidence in their team members as they
share a sense of purpose.
3. Employee Retention
Team-building activities are proven to increase employee retention. When employees are motivated to work,
whether it be the boost in morale team-building provides or the greater sense of purpose and connection with
those around them, they tend to enjoy work more. This can hugely affect overall company culture, and in many
cases team-building activities are integral parts of company culture.
Benefits of teamwork
1. Productivity
As intelligent as an individual may be, delegating roles when completing a task can hugely increase both productivity and
efficiency.
Tasks can be divided amongst many people. If you've put a team together that takes into consideration each employee's
experience you will find you have individuals suited to specific tasks, and who are able to complete them to a higher
degree than if you were to do it individually. This saves time, enhances individual performance and increases the team’s
overall productivity.
2. Diverse Ideas
Having multiple perspectives and expertise within a team allows for greater problem solving capabilities. There are
multiple ways in which having many people approach a problem can help. Not only does a teamworking strategy
towards issues provide a platform to improve internal communication, it also provides an opportunity for individual
growth as team members learn from others in the team.
3. Cooperation
Working towards a common goal intentionally or unintentionally brings people together. Teamwork strives to allow
employees to learn skills such as trust, communication, and to complete a task by finding common ground. These skills
will allow team members to open up, and cooperate to create the best outcomes.
