Forming and Growing High Performance Work Teams
This workshop is designed to help managers start, develop, implement, and maintain High Performance Work Teams in their organizations. High Performance Work Team is not a program; it is a on-going process designed to generate solid business results. Whether the team’s focus will be production or safety, it is critical to team success to follow good process. The focus of this workshop is to determine the appropriate use of teams, plan team structures, and facilitate necessary changes.
This 2-Day workshop can help minimize start-up mistakes, insuring that results are realized more quickly. Companies with existing teams have found these methods to be crucial in re-energizing existing teams that are not effective or in helping effective teams continue to excel and move toward self-motivation – the goal for high performance work teams.
