Teamwork involves when people come together to work for a common goal. Common goals may be to achieve a particular activity or engage in a task to get a result. Or have a defined outcome. 

For some people, TEAM means Together everyone achieves more. And equally a natural gift for some people. Working together as a team has a lot of benefits. For example,

  • It reduces the workload and spreads it across different workers.
  • The speed of the work increases as many people work together for a common goal.
  • It increases effectiveness as more people familiarise themselves and build more trust when working as a team. 
  • There is a reduction in injury when two or more come together to assist each other for a common goal.
  • It discourages a lone worker arrangement which is more prone to the risk of harm.
