12 Easy Ways to Improve Team Cooperation in the Workplace (teambuilding.com)

Here is a list of tips for getting teammates to cooperate in collaborative work environments.

1. Make connections between coworkers

The first connection phase is one of the most important steps in the team development process. Employees are unlikely to collaborate with unfamiliar colleagues. Leaders should make initial introductions between staff members and create spaces in which team members can interact and get to know each other. For instance, by announcing new hires, regularly updating and re-sharing organizational charts, and creating common spaces such as staff hangouts.

Having an awareness of other teammates’ existence and an established rapport emboldens employees to ask other team members for help. By acting as social connectors, leaders build a support system and a wealth of resources for the staff.

2. Hold regular team building activities

Hosting regular team building activities is one of the surest ways to improve teamwork skills. Many team building games are designed to boost competencies like communication, delegation, problem solving, and negotiation that are essential for collaboration. These exercises give participants a shared goal to strive towards and require players to work together to achieve the desired end. These challenges can be practice for on-the-job collaborations.

3. Create a safe space to share ideas

To cooperate, teammates must first contribute, and to contribute, employees must feel safe to share thoughts without judgment or negative consequences. Fostering an atmosphere where team members can freely express themselves is an important element of improving team cooperation. This type of environment encourages a more diverse range of thought and leads to true collaboration as opposed to mere agreement.
