What is TEAMWORK?

It is the kind of work that teams are best configured to do. It is work that blends individual strengths so that they complement each other, and in doing so brings people together with a sense of friendship and shared vision so that their strengths are applied in a common direction towards meaningful goals.

Why TEAMWORK matters?

Creates synergy - the sum is greater than the parts Supports a more empowered way of working Encourages multi-disciplinary work where teams cut

across organizational divides Fosters flexibility and responsiveness Promotes the sense of achievement, equity and friendship,

essential for a motivated workplace; When managed properly, teamwork is a better way to

work!
