how to get your team to work better

Few people have elected to be in the teams they work in. This may result in differences and difficulties that at the very least mean lost time and at worst result in major clashes. This workshop acts as a 'team building' session. It can be used to clarify team objectives, protocols and codes of behaviour, with the aim of creating a healthier, happier and more productive team.
