Team Connection

Create Inclusive Team Environments to Maximize Performance

The Team Connection is a four-eight hour facilitated experience utilizing Inclusity tools to build trust and maximize your team’s effectiveness.

Change Management

Before we begin the process, the team leader works closely with the facilitator to customize the session to align it with the team’s overall strategic direction. During the facilitated team experience, your Inclusity facilitator(s) will lead you through a process which will enable team members to speak freely about themselves and their work styles, as well as how they prefer to be treated. They will be able to express their expectations of each other and their supervisor in an environment that is confidential without retaliation.

The process uses several Inclusity models and exercises to enrich your team’s trust and openness with each other. Our experience shows that a significant number of participants have accelerated team relationships and dynamics through the use of the Team Connection. Pre- and post-surveys confirm that team member trust has improved by 18-35% as a result of participation.
