Activity 3: Develop strategies and processes to facilitate team cohesion 

Activity context

During the discussion with the team members, you came to know that the team members issues were never discussed before, and neither were they addressed. The team members told you that their inputs have never been valued and that has also led to change in their behaviours toward work and downfall in their performance. 

You discovered that there had been no strategies, policies and procedures and processes to develop and facilitate team cohesion. You have discussed these matters with the Operations Manager. After the discussion, the Operations Manager has allocated you the task to develop strategies, policies and procedures and processes to improve and facilitate team cohesion. 

The purpose of these strategies and processes is to: 

• Facilitate team members input into planning, decision making and operational aspects of team tasks

• Promote team member accountability for personal work and team tasks

• Identify and address issues, concerns and problems identified by team members
