How many of you have actually noticed a significant difference in the performance of a team through team building activities? I've used effective methods but can't seem to break through.

What does your needs assessment look like? Do you have clearly articulated, measurable objectives? Do you have the learners create action plans at the end of session and then follow up with them later? How are you measuring transfer of learning? And if learning ain’t transferring, how do you figure out why not?

I don’t find much success with “team building” requests because that’s often code for “a fun day of activities.” These can be worthwhile as stress relief or celebrations after an intensive project. I find good success with “help me improve the way my team [insert specific behaviors here]” because now I have a goal. Finally, every team building exercise is a simulacrum of real team activities in the workplace to some level.

I think we could use more of it. Lots of clashing heads in the office, think it would be good to spend time outside the office and not talk about work for an hour. Doesn’t happen enough IMO.

Is this one team in specific? Or multiple teams over time? If the former, it could be a toxic team member and no one wants to speak out about them. Toxic team members don’t have to be horrible to be toxic. They can just be wrong for a team, a sort of wet blanket.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
