Building the Team

Introduction

A workplace research project carried out in 2004 found that 40% of UK employees feel that the teams in which they work consistently fail to meet their basic targets.

This alarming statistic suggests that many businesses are both underperforming and creating unhappy, unfulfilled employees.

Effective teams boost productivity and help create positive working environments, so good team-building skills are a must-have for every successful manager.

Course features

Building the Team gives you a theoretical introduction to creating an effective, well motivated team.

The course uses a simple case study, and basic exercises such as multiple choice and true or false questions. After each exercise you'll be given feedback on how you've done.

An audio soundtrack delivers most of the content, with simple graphics and on-screen text summarising the key points.

You can print a transcript of each screen’s audio component for future reference. The course also includes a glossary of business terms, an alphabetical list of business “thought leaders”, and a resources section featuring links to useful online business resources.

Building the Team is available for six months from the date first accessed.
