on their teammates to acquire enough knowledge to be able to play the basic format. This is a great
example of how a new person might not feel part of the team. It is also a great example of how the
lack of knowledge or job responsibility makes the entire team less effective and why they feel
uncomfortable and weakened the team.

Conclusion

The Work in America Institute (WIAI), a human resource management membership organization, reports
that teams in the workplace can increase productivity as much as 30%. They also report an increase, on
average, of 10% in customer satisfaction levels.

A 30% increase in productivity along with a 10% increase in customer satisfaction can create a
tremendous opportunity for your organization to set your goals higher than ever before.

Besides just statistics, the WIAI reports the following effect that team building can have on an
organization:

Increasing productivity
Increasing self-esteem
Increasing team rapport
Increasing time-management skills
Increasing problem-solving skills
Improve an organizations responsiveness to the business environment
Improve employee development
Enhance employment security
Sharpen the companys focus on its customer

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
