Collaborative Working

"It gave us a great platform to be open and honest"

Background

The HR – Commercial team, a small and dynamic group, has undergone significant changes recently. The team, consisting of leaders and HR Business Partners, is divided into two units: one focusing on Employee Relations and Engagement, and the other on Strategic Workforce Planning and future projects. Despite clear role definitions, the team faces challenges in collaboration, occasional negativity, and a need for better mutual understanding. They would benefit from a structured opportunity to enhance communication, trust, and overall team cohesion.

The Team

"After the session there was a buzz in the team - we still need to continue our team journey but it was definitely needed and really helped to break down some of the barriers."

Keeley Jone, Head of HR
