"Building a Better Team"

Date: May 8, 2008
Time: 1pm to 2pm CST

Content:

Businesses of every type and size are relying on "team building" and comfortable office environments to produce more effective employees. Some say that recent downsizing can be the cause for the drive for “teamwork”. Simply put, people are being required to do more with less. A team environment fosters the ability to maximize the resources of the many. From a human resources perspective, team building can affect employees and their performance because studies have shown that workers are motivated by feeling that they are a part of the business as a whole, knowing the goals or missions of a company and understanding how they fit in to that mission. Further, Team building is valuable because two heads are better than one and the most successful aspect of team building is knowing who your team players are and what their areas of expertise are. Whatever the reason, the “team” philosophy is permeating the workplace and can create value and profitability for organizations of all kinds.

During this interactive Webinar, you will:

1. Understand the basic dynamics of a team
2. How to create effective communication among team members
3. Learn to foster an environment that favors teamwork
4. Discover simple tools to enhance team spirit

"Creating a Fun & Productive Work Environment"

Date: November 6, 2008
Time: 1pm to 2pm CST

Content:

Traditionally, work is not supposed to be fun. On average, you spend 40 hours a week working which translates into 1,840 hours a year (if you remove holidays), or 86,840 hours in your working life. (These facts are meant to inform, not to depress you.) Why can’t our work be fun? The biggest argument against a “fun” workplace is that it’s not productive. However, imagine a work world where people love their work environment, and they are calm, stress-free and happy all day long. People who are in good spirits are more likely to be productive and function at peak efficiency. Companies like Southwest Airlines are recognizing the value in creating an enjoyable workplace. Learn how to turn fun into profitability.

During this interactive Webinar, you will:

1. Understand how humor and fun can increase productivity
2. Recognize the power of hiring the right people
3. Identify opportunities for creative an enjoyable work environment
4. Learn to redefine the workplace by gradually incorporating fun
