COMMUNICATION IN TEAMS

Here at Fox in a Box we use immersive games to help teams connect and build healthy work relationships. However we also like to share tips to use inside of your office to foster productive habits. Here are some few key learnings that we would love to share with your team!

What does healthy communication inside of the office look like?

Healthy communication is necessary in building a productive team. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, conflicts, delays, errors, and rework. To avoid this pitfall, you need to establish and follow effective communication channels, tools, and protocols for your team! If you communicate frequently, openly, and respectfully, and provide constructive feedback and support to your team members you will create an open and freeing environment. Focusing on active listening can allow you to show up for your team empathetically to acknowledge and address any issues or concerns that arise.

How do we foster a culture of collaboration?

Siloed work where team members work in isolation or in separate functional groups, without coordinating or integrating their efforts with other team members can affect your process. Siloed work can result in duplication, inconsistency, gaps, or conflicts in the product features or quality. To avoid this pitfall, you need to foster a culture of collaboration and cross-functional teamwork in your process. You also need to use collaborative tools and platforms that enable you to share, review, and iterate on your work with your team. Putting emphasis on involving your team and stakeholders in regular meetings, reviews, and feedback sessions can help solicit their input and feedback on your work.
