An interesting introductory session coming soon:

Maximising individual and team effectiveness – introductory session, Tuesday 22 May, Lausanne

An Invitation to all HR Managers and Team Leaders

-Do you have to deal with teams that seem not to “pull together” -Do you feel team spirit is often jeopardised by difficult team members? -Do you want to help your staff better understand the specific strengths each individual can bring to any team situation?

Today’s workplace is about teamwork and collaboration.  Effective teamwork increases both productivity and satisfaction…and reduces costs.   Belbin Team Role profiling gives individuals and their colleagues a better understanding of the range of behaviours needed to make a team effective, and a respect for the unique contribution that each individual can bring to the team. Worldwide, many organizations in both public and private sectors are using the Belbin approach to enhance individual and team performance.

Why not join us for an introductory session on Belbin Team Role profiling. We will introduce the method in a fun and participatory way and show how it can help the teams in your organisation to perform to maximum effectiveness.

The session will be run by Sarah Clark and Liz Tayfun Belbin Team Role accredited facilitators
