Friendly women's team. Myth or reality. How to create a friendly team

Each leader seeks to rally the team in order to maximize the level of comfort of employees and their desire to move together towards the goal. There are many tools used to build relationships between employees.

Close-knit friendly team

If there is a friendly team in the company, the turnover is minimized or completely absent. Employees do not seek to run away from work as soon as possible, do not sit up and set each other up, do not gossip about colleagues.

What corporate events can be held?

Among the corporate events that help unite the team, corporate holidays can be distinguished. These holidays should be well thought out, held in an informal and relaxed atmosphere. When organizing an event, it is important to take into account the wishes and tastes of employees. Holidays may be original script and include various competitions. At the end of the holiday, all employees can receive pleasant corporate gifts.

In addition to holidays, sporting events will help to unite the team. When conducting them, it is important to take into account the physical abilities of the participants and, especially, the management. If the leadership is not distinguished by physical fitness, then it is better to abandon such an idea in principle, so as not to undermine the authority of the authorities. A good way to build relationships in a team is to hold events in the process of work. This can be training, active introduction of newcomers up to date, joint development of new projects.

Close-knit women's team

The women's team presents a particular challenge for the leader. Due to their emotionality, women easily provoke conflict situations. In a women's team, it is important to be able to establish warm relations between employees based on sympathy and mutual respect. It is important for women to be given the opportunity to sit and chat in a relaxed atmosphere during a break, establishing emotional contact with each other.

If there are initially conflicting personalities in the women's team who spread gossip and provoke showdowns, the only way The solution to the situation is their dismissal.

The editors of the site hope that there will always be peace and kindness in your team.

Good afternoon! I'm looking for a job. When I read a job description, it is important for me: functionality, salary, company activities, office location. But when once again I see "young and Friendly team", I screen out the vacancy for myself. Why do they write this? Is it really important and important for someone when applying for a job? Or is it a hint at the age of applicants? It must be assumed that such phrases in the job description say that employers are more important "corporate fun starts", and not a job. And what about applicants who do not need it at all?

Ekaterina, good afternoon!

Good question!) The fact is that HR tasks are very close to sales. Only HR does not sell the company's product to customers, but to job seekers their company and the idea of ​​working with them. Practice shows that about 90% of people, when looking for a job, put the team in the top 3 important criteria for choosing a job. This is due to the fact that half of the time (not counting sleep), or even more, we spend at work. And this is especially important for those who have encountered unfriendly employees, gossips, intriguers and imitators of violent activity who poisoned the work and life of the team. From own experience and the experience of my colleagues, I know that not a single HR describing a vacancy in this way, in any case, does not mean to offend someone or give the implication that only young people are dear here. On the contrary - the desire to show that we select people who are not only professionals in their field, but also with whom it is pleasant to work, communicate and be friends. In the vacancies of our company there is always an emphasis on this too. The average age of our employees is 25-35 years. And at the same time, we have and had employees over 40 and 50 years old who fit perfectly into our company, show themselves remarkably well as specialists, team members and just people. Very often at interviews we hear that older candidates pay attention to this in a positive way, saying: "You have a young team, active, it's great, I like to be among young people in order to be active, energized and be aware of all modern tricks ". I think you're wasting your time refusing these jobs. Thus you refuse modern companies with progressive methods work, and who pick up really good people. Be positive about things. At least go to the interview to see how things are with your own eyes, and not based on speculation. This does not oblige you to go there to work if you are disappointed))

Good luck in your job search!

• Violetta, thanks for the advice, but I don't want to be around active youth (more precisely, to be around me) and I don't need all these modern features. I also don’t need corporate drinking parties, even when I was much younger, worked in a similar team, where at birthday parties they literally forced me to drink or all the time asked why I didn’t do it. The only useful thing that I learned from working in this company was what my boss taught me, passed on her knowledge. And by the way, she is much older than me.
  From work, I expect work and salary, constructive interaction with colleagues, and, of course, communication, but with those with whom it is comfortable for me to communicate, and vice versa too. There are people who, at 50 and 60, are the soul of the company and the ringleader, and there are those who don’t need it even at 25. They are bad, so it turns out from the point of view of specialists in the personnel department? And where should they go?

  Ekaterina, I agree with you, all the salt is not in age, but in the head) And in fact, not a single leader would like people who crave corporate parties and parties to work for him. "Chips" - I mean subtleties and wisdom, unique useful experience in work, new solutions to old problems. That is, the very knowledge that managers usually share. What to do is one of the eternal questions. Do not judge the company only by the words written in the vacancy, but check it in practice: look for employee reviews about work here, get an interview and see with your own eyes what kind of office, what kind of people there, what they say, what they do, in the end - after all, you can apply there as a client. You will immediately see and understand a lot, and you will be able to make the right decision based on what you yourself will see, hear and feel while being within the walls of the organization and will be able to make the right decision whether this company is right for you or not. No one will determine this except you.

  • Violetta, such firms usually conduct interviews in separate rooms, where, apart from a specialist in the personnel department, and in some cases the chief accountant, I don’t see anyone. No one will take me on a tour of the office, my workplace won't even show. This is if they call for an interview. Usually they send a refusal right away, and if you get through to find out the reason for the refusal, they answer: “We have an average age of employees of 32 years, you will not fit into our team” or “How old are you? 44? Oh, yes, you are old!” And this is how they answer many of my peers who are looking for work. But what about peers - a little more than 35 are no longer invited. If a company represents its team in the job description, then the phrase "solid, friendly team" sounds better for people of all ages. And in young team boys and girls 20 years younger will not be treated by their first and middle names, but by Lenka, Masha, Tanya, etc. I heard that too, I was shocked after working in a decent organization

    Ekaterina, unfortunately not all specialists in all areas upper class, this applies to salespeople, HRs, accountants, economists, managers and all-all-all. I am sorry that you and your friends had to deal with such unprofessionalism. Maybe HR actually correctly determined that you would be uncomfortable in their team, because everyone there is poking and not calling by patronymic. They really don’t do tours, but I’m not talking about that either, having visited a couple of rooms: a reception room, an office, sometimes it’s enough. Each person will always find what is wrong around him. In any case, the purpose of your appeal is to get advice, not to be indignant. You have a goal - to get a job with decent pay and a good attitude. On the way to it there will be obstacles. Concentrate on the goal, not on the complaints, otherwise you will run out of nerves. In addition, there are companies that value just people like you - you are unlikely to have a decree, sick little children, you are unlikely to be late, be distracted at work by some extraneous matters and approach the matter very responsibly. Keep this in mind, keep searching, and you will find exactly the company where you will feel comfortable and where they are waiting for you))

Instruction

A good relationship within the team, without which fruitful cooperation is impossible - this is one of the main activities of the leader. To successfully solve this problem, the leader must know the strengths and weaknesses of his employees, their preferences, as well as be able to correctly distribute responsibilities and delegate authority so that there are no conflicts and disputes between colleagues.

It is very important for a leader to show sincerity in words and actions, because employees of the company most often broadcast exactly the approaches that the leaders adhere to. Psychologists also recommend that representatives of top management communicate with their team more often, support its undertakings, monitor and stop negative trends: conflicts, quarrels, etc.

It is easier to rally a team if people have common socio-demographic features - age, gender, education, work experience, marital status. But this happens quite rarely, because. recruited on the basis of other principles. In this case, various activities help to rally the team.

Team-building events can be divided into two groups. The first group is directly related to professional activity. The leader needs to organize participation in various seminars and conferences for his employees, conduct business games, brainstorming sessions, discussions, etc. All these events contribute to the exchange of experience, opinions, ideas, as a result of which colleagues get to know each other better, informal relations are established between them.

The second group of rallying events - festive evenings, sports competitions, anniversaries, excursions, etc. - also contributes to the strengthening of informal relations in the team. They can be organized in the office or outside it, and various holidays, anniversaries of employees or companies, successful completion of transactions, etc. can serve as occasions.

At the solemn part of these events, it is necessary to focus on the fact that it was possible to reach certain heights only thanks to the joint efforts of the entire team. Be sure to note the individual contribution of some individuals, to emphasize the importance of their work for the entire company.

Team building is a great team building activity. Most often, team building means sports competitions, team games or competitions, but it can also be fun corporate parties or psychological training aimed at teaching employees to interact and solve problems together. Team building promotes the emancipation and rapprochement of colleagues, and it helps managers to take a closer look at the team and determine the roles of employees (“leader”, “generator of ideas”, “performer”, etc.), which further allows for more efficient management of labor processes.

No matter how professional the head of the company is, he knows that without a reliable rear in the form of a close-knit team of workers, he will not be able to achieve great success. However, in this matter, not everything is as simple as it seems. After all, hire good specialists- quite real, but to ensure that they find among themselves mutual language and would be happy to help each other, and not to put steps - much more difficult.

Modern team building

Fortunately, today there are many special organizations dealing with such issues. They introduce directors to what team building is and show in practice how this technique can help build relationships in a team and turn it into a real team.

So, if we turn to the origins of its name, then "team building" is nothing more than English word"teambuilding", which in translation means "team building" or "team building". In fact, it is carried out through trainings in various forms.

As a rule, the leader turns to a special instructor for help, who offers him a choice of several options for action. Team building trainings can be held right in the office, take only one day, or be presented in a playful way in nature. The last option is the most popular, and therefore we will talk about it in more detail.

Team building outside the city

Coaches for self-development and improvement of relationships in the team are very fond of conducting their classes in nature. It can be some kind of rest in the forest with an overnight stay by the fire or a short stay in a sanatorium with daily hikes along pre-planned routes. However, this is not quite a vacation, as a rule, office employees are offered to divide into teams and choose leaders who will lead them. They are then given various tasks, often including physical activity. For example, it can be an obstacle course, solving difficult problems that require logical thinking, boating competitions (if there is a river nearby), paintball and so on. And sometimes the participants of the training are asked to play quite simple, but at the same time effective from the point of view of psychology, games. For example, showing words using pantomime or demonstrating various objects by depicting them by several team players at once (they must take certain positions, say, depict a letter, a tree, a key of cranes, etc.).

The secret of team building

On the one hand, all this seems like child's play, but on the other hand, a properly constructed training allows people who were previously unfamiliar with each other:

- identify hidden leaders in the team,

- learn to work in a team and listen to everyone's opinion,

- trust each other,

- discover new abilities

- charge with positive and the spirit of the team game,

- believe in yourself

Raise the level of initiative

- become more motivated at work and much more.

A special plus in all this will be if the leader himself agrees to stand on an equal footing with everyone and, trying not to stand out, show himself as an ordinary person equal to them. This will allow him to increase the confidence of his subordinates, strengthen his authority as a person who can not only issue orders, but also help others achieve their goals. And, in the end, this will help him communicate more easily with the team and get more out of it.

In the end, I would like to say a few more words about why people should not be forced to participate in team building trainings. After all, having learned such information, many directors suddenly decide that their company urgently needs to go through something similar in order to strengthen the corporate spirit. But it is safe to say that in any team there are always such employees who are called loners or closed personalities. Most likely, they will not want to go to any forest, much less expose themselves to ridicule in the face of all their "enemies". In such cases, a smart leader will not show strong perseverance, because in the end he risks losing a valuable specialist, who is likely to quit the place where he was so openly laughed at.

And last but important note. Having decided to turn to team building specialists for help, you need to turn your attention to those companies that have been doing this for more than a year and have highly qualified employees who know how to work with people and their psychological problems.

Therefore, when planning to conduct something like this, each boss must take a responsible approach to the choice of professional psychologist trainers, as well as to the formation of teams of those people who can really go through all the obstacles prepared for them.

From this article you will learn:

• What are the conditions for the formation of a cohesive team
• What are the criteria for a cohesive team?
• What activities and games bring the team together

Any leader cares about the microclimate in his organization. No one needs squabbles and strife that interfere efficient operation companies. Team cohesion is very important for both management and each employee. Agree, it’s nice to come to work and see smiling faces, to solve all current issues in the team constructively and calmly, and in case of a difficult situation, to know that they won’t drown you, but will lend a helping hand. Successful leader should have an idea of ​​how to rally the team, how to bring them together different people what methods of bringing people together into a team are generally accepted, because very often it is joint cohesive work that leads the company to success. Read about all this in our article!

When you need to create a cohesive team

1. In the absence of the necessary and truthful information, there is always someone who comes up with the missing one himself, winds up the entire team, filling it with rumors and gossip. Such a situation is typical for organizations where corruption, abuse of power, non-transparency of the remuneration system, bonus payments, etc. reign. In such a situation, an expert method that optimizes personnel policy can help achieve the goal of rallying the team. The method, designed to rally the organization's team, is based on systematic monitoring with the involvement of HR professionals.
2. Discord in the team is most often caused by the actual lack of control. Illiterate leadership management makes it possible to lack a clear distribution of roles and responsibilities, discipline, order and mutual respect. There is no way to bring people together. In such an environment, the unspoken rules and code of conduct in society are easily forgotten. Mini-groups appear with their informal leaders who manipulate people and conflict with each other. The purpose of such behavior is by no means aimed at increasing the efficiency of labor and the success of the enterprise. They only satisfy their own ambitions. All this leads first to a split in the team, then to the collapse and, ultimately, to complete separation team.
3. Illiterate team management gives rise to internal competition and dissatisfaction with each other. So it is also impossible to rally the team. A successful team leader must understand that competition is favorable only for the development of market relations, but not for relations between people working in the same team. It won't help bring the team together. Working on the principle of "carrot and stick", when the best get bonuses, ranks, bonus rewards, etc., and others get comments and fines, the team loses elementary trust in each other, mutual assistance, receiving in return hypocrisy, swindle, obvious "setups" and covert sabotage. Many members of the team are forced in these conditions to forget about the principles, just to get an unsurpassed result, better than their colleagues. Teams with such internal relationships have long forgotten about the team spirit. Joint decision difficult questions in a constructive way in such a situation is almost impossible.
4. In the absence of existing strategies aimed at the formation and development of an intra-corporate culture, improving the microclimate in the group, uniting people with a single goal that is significant for each and everyone together.

Conditions for the formation of a cohesive team

Consider the basic conditions and criteria for the formation of a cohesive team. The team will become cohesive if:

• interests, views, values ​​and worldview coincide more team members;
• The team is of the same age group. It is difficult to combine fifty and seventeen-year-old members of the team into one group, it is possible only on mutual respect;
• goodwill, acceptance of the opinion of another, general psychological safety should dominate in the team;
• the whole team must lead an active, emotionally saturated joint activities aimed at obtaining a result that is significant for everyone;
• the head of the team or its leader represents the behavior model of the most effective employee and colleague;
• a successful leader is able to take special actions or activities to strengthen team cohesion;
• there is another group of people or a collective that can be considered as rivals;
• there is a person in the team who opposes himself to the team and is significantly different from the main number of its members.

1. Purposefulness. The purposefulness of the team is called the desire for a common goal. unites group interest in the content of the goal put forward by this group, dictates collective social attitudes, beliefs, ideals. The degree of purposefulness can be determined by the following indicators:
   • the level of interest of group members in joint activities, in improving the microclimate of the team, mutual understanding between people, focusing on failure of positions in common activities and relationships;
   • relationship between these parameters;
   • correspondence of the goals of the individual and the team, their complementarity, inconsistency, similarity and difference.
2. Motivation. This criterion determines the level of activity, interest and effective attitude (striving) to the common activities of all members of the team. joint work and passionately, enthusiastically treats her. The activity and interest of each member of the group in the overall result, involvement in its achievement, the efforts made, the degree of satisfaction from participating in a common cause are indicators that determine motivation. .
3. integrity or the commonality of a team is the unity of its members. Interconnection and interdependence between group members determine the degree of their cohesion, compatibility, contingency, etc. It is possible to determine the degree of integrity of a particular team by analyzing the relationship between joint achievements and total number completed work, understanding which type of work dominates - joint or individual. This helps bring the team together.
4. Structured determined by a clear and strict order of interaction. It regulates the functions, tasks, rights, duties and responsibilities among the members of the group. Thanks to this, the team is able, if necessary, to quickly divide into groups and subgroups, depending on the tasks to be solved and the goals set. Structuring is determined by the prevailing methods of redistribution of duties, through complementarity, safety net, duplication. Also important criterion is a way of distributing responsibility - concentration, division, diffusion. Business relationships are also important. This helps bring the team together.
5. Consistency team members determines their harmonious interaction, due to the presence of a common goal. Consistency can manifest itself to varying degrees at any stage of joint work. The degree of agreement or disagreement is determined by the dominance of methods for eliminating contradictions and divisive factors, the level of conflict between team members and typical behavior in conflict resolution. Coordination of actions helps to rally the team.
6. organization characteristic of groups that are distinguished by orderliness, composure, subordination to the established order that regulates joint activities, the ability to strictly follow a pre-established plan (plannedness), manageability, including diligence and self-organization. Performance should be understood as the ability, frequency and style of performing external control actions. The self-organization of the team directly depends on the degree of its participation in its work and is characterized by the number of participants involved in management; the number of management actions carried out; leadership potential; the way the members of the group participate in management, etc. Organization helps to rally the team.
7. Efficiency characterizes the degree of cohesion of the group in achieving a high result and the intended goal. This is an integral characteristic of the productivity, performance and efficiency of team work. Performance indicators require specifying the features of the group's work. High performance helps to unite the team.

Evgeny Kotov will reveal two topics on personnel management at , which will be held from 3 to 10 May in Turkey at the Rixos Premium Belek hotel.

How is the formation of a cohesive team

Building a cohesive team is a long process. Experts have identified a step-by-step methodology that includes five mandatory stages that should not be skipped or changed in their sequence. A successful manager must understand the importance of each of them, know that only the strict fulfillment of the requirements will help to unite the team at work.

Relationships start with lapping. This is typical for any team, especially for newcomers who come to an already formed group. During this period, they pay special attention to each other, open the essence, demonstrating the strengths and weaknesses of their character, leadership abilities, conflict behavior, etc. The most important aspect this period are General characteristics selected contingent. The work of a professional psychologist aimed at the formation interpersonal relationships, taking into account all their features, helps to minimize the problems of the next stages. This helps bring the team together.

Next comes " conflict» stage. It should be understood that the occurrence of any conflicts is normal for any team. The ability to resist them and successfully resolve such situations is the key to creating a strong and cohesive team. At this stage, the formation of small subgroups and the selection of outsiders is acceptable. There may also be misunderstandings on the part of management and subordinates. Often the conflict stage ends with some dismissals - on the personal initiative of the employee or at the direction of the management.

The third stage experimental". The settlement and resolution of all significant internal conflicts leads to the inevitable growth of the potential of each employee and the entire group as a whole. This applies to both the personal plan and the work plan. This period is characterized by an uneven distribution of efforts, minor disruptions in work, however, in the end, the company achieves greater results than on early stages. All this helps to unite the team.

creative stage comes after the successful completion of the first three. Leaders stand out and form around themselves a team of people who share their positions and opinions. At the first stages, employees could make a mistake in choosing a leader, but by this stage everything is clear to everyone, people know each other enough, and all assessments have already been made.

Mature team- the result of the fifth stage, the final one. The debate and disagreements that arise at this stage, which have formed especially often with the arrival of a new employee, are resolved extremely quickly and calmly, only positively affecting the work of the entire team. This is considered the highest aerobatics of rallying people, and every leader who wants to be successful should strive for this.

How to rally a team

• Start a tradition it helps bring the team together

Think about it, it’s not in vain that kids watch their favorite cartoons several times. Psychologists say that they are pleased and attracted by the fact that the plot is known in advance. The child is comfortable knowing what is going to happen and nothing is uncertain or unexpected. Adult employees who daily solve some issues, invent and learn something, also dream of peace and comfort. Then the work will be better. There is nothing easier to solve this issue than the establishment of traditions. For example, you can start every morning with music or every Wednesday go to the pool with the whole team, every Friday you can communicate on English language, celebrate holidays, birthdays together, attend various quests. All this unites people, makes them closer to each other, reveals their potential and is also a team building.

It is necessary to know the essence of the work of each member of the team, emphasize the importance of his participation in a common cause, share problems and find solutions together. It is not necessary to detail your work too much, you can simply point out problem areas, perhaps someone can easily help in these matters. This maximizes team performance, makes people united.

• Corporate media helps bring the team together

• Corporate rest helps bring the team together

Collective trips and joint vacations help to establish contact between employees. This increases the efficiency of each employee and the enterprise as a whole, because:

• a change of scenery defuses any complications that have arisen in the team, helps to see each other in a different light and in different conditions;
• non-standard situations help to look at employees in a completely different way;
• relaxed atmosphere reveals the unexpected potential of each employee. People get to know each other better, discover common interests, learn new things about each other.

In order to rally the team, use such a type of corporate holiday as tourism: ordinary, adventure or even story. Any of the options is attractive and special, but all form a team spirit, unite people into one group with common interests and mutual respect. Thanks to corporate holidays, all members of the team get to know each other again in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoy relaxing from routine work, absorb positive emotions, which is extremely useful for preventing burnout of emotions and reducing efficiency. That guarantees a cohesive work of the team.

• Gamify it helps bring the team together.

According to analysts' forecasts, by 2017 gamification technologies will corporate governance will be used by about half of all companies, so do not put off learning and implementing this method, otherwise you risk being in the sad and backward half of the global business community.

What activities bring the team together?

Holding collective events brings the employees together very much - joint celebration of holidays, participation in games and quests, psychological or game trainings that encourage people to actively interact with each other, moving towards a common goal.
