As the sun shines bright and the summer season unfolds, it’s the perfect time to focus on a topic that lies at the heart of every successful organization – team dynamics.
Simply put, team dynamics refer to the way people within a team interact, collaborate, and work together towards a common goal. The effectiveness of a team is shaped by the intricate interplay of connections between its members, their communication styles, and behavioral patterns.
At their best, well-functioning teams can achieve great things together and can drive your whole organization to success. In fact, research indicates that improving team collaboration and communication within an organization can reduce employee turnover rates by 50%.
But let’s be honest, cultivating great team dynamics isn’t always easy. Teams often encounter challenges with communication, collaboration, and performance. So, how can you support your teams to overcome these challenges, and foster sustainable growth within your organization? Find out more in the July edition of our community newsletter.

But what does “being locked in your job” really mean? How can we notice it, and how can we fix it to improve teamwork? Learn more from our colleagues Sander and Merel, who recently hosted an insightful podcast episode on this topic.
