Universal Events’ Tips for Better Collaboration

It’s important to recruit the best talent possible to your organization. However, it’s crucial to make sure your team members can work well together. Collaboration is a core Universal Events principle, and we have a few tips for making your workplace more conducive to teamwork:

 

• Let Your People Be Themselves: You might have quiet team members and more social people working in the same office. We suggest creating two defined zones for these disparate types of professionals. Cubicles for your more reserved people and open spaces for your extraverts will make a real difference.

 

• Provide Two Types of Meeting Rooms: We at Universal Events recommend having a traditional conference room and a quieter room for brainstorming. Make your brainstorming room as comfortable and quiet as possible. Outfit your conference room with a big table and the latest technology.

 

• Encourage Interaction: The kitchen tends to be the most social space in an office, so put your more socially engaged associates close to it. Beyond that, make sure your workspace is designed to bring people together in unobtrusive ways and ask yourself if your office flows as smoothly as it could.

 

• Use Video Chat to Your Advantage: This is especially important if you have far-flung team members, because it allows your people to easily check in with each other and build meaningful relationships in the process.

 

Universal Events’ associates hope you will put these tips to good use and bolster collaboration among your team members.
