Teamwork and Team Building

About the Workshop: 
This workshop will focus on the structures and dynamics of teamwork, the common challenges and strategies to address “team brownout and team burnout” and explore activities and opportunities inherent in the current virtual workplace that can help retain team connection and cohesion. Team building and teamwork are developed when there is an intentional plan to develop and sustain a culture of team support and team success.
