HOW TO BUILD SPIRIT OF COOPERATION

Large organizations often have units or departments that operate in almost complete isolation from other departments. Yet they have a lot in common. They share mission, vision, values, products, services and more. Because of this isolation, many employees don’t get to feel as attached or committed to the final product. Some departments may not even see the final product. No matter how large an organization, it is a mistake to allow departments to operate in isolation. Employees should feel part of the overall direction of the organization.

Why not encourage all departments to build a spirit of cooperation throughout the organization? We should encourage all the departments to have cooperation between employees.

Some Ways to accomplish Interdepartmental cooperation

Events

Cross training in other departments

Interdepartmental Visits

Cross departmental recognition

Newsletter highlighting the achievements of other departments

ACTION PLAN
