Why is Teamwork Important at Workplace?

-Fast Learning
You tend to learn things at a faster rate, if you are working as a team. The experiences and knowledge of the older team members help you to grasp new concepts quickly. At the same time it proves to be an added bonus for you as you avoid mistakes at work.

Workload Distribution
Working in a team has an advantage of the workload getting distributed among all the team members.
With work properly distributed, you can concentrate on a single activity till the time you gain expertise in it and you do not feel stressed out due to work.

-Building Bonds
Continuous interaction with the team members, working with them for the day, having your meals with them, sharing your joys and sorrows helps in building a strong bond between each other. In this way, you can even make friends for a lifetime.

-Healthy Competition
Just think of a situation where people are competing with each other and trying to excel better than the other. At the same time they are helping and assisting each other in work-related as well as personal difficulties and problems. Wouldn't that be a great sight! Well this is possible when you work as a team, as everyone is emotionally bonded to each other.

-Exploring Creativity
While working in a team you will never be alone, you will always have some or the other person to suggest you good things. Suggestions and advice can help you in generating new ideas and bring out the creativity in you.

-Job Satisfaction
Teamwork is one of the most important reasons for employee job satisfaction. This is because working in a team improves employee performance as well as makes the work enjoyable. This is also conducive to employee motivation.

-Increased Speed of Work
With many people handling a single project and doing the assigned work properly, the overall work speed increases and your team can complete the project well within the given time frame.
The above-mentioned benefits of teamwork were team specific. But teamwork is even beneficial at the organizational level. Effective teamwork in the workplace benefits the organization by increasing the productivity which is important to meet the targets and fulfill commitments. Also, teamwork ensures maximum use of manpower. This is the reason companies are promoting teamwork in the workplace.
Working as a team can benefit you as an individual, as a team as well as an organization. For some people it might be a bit difficult to adjust in a group initially, but I am sure, they will gradually learn to adjust and work as a team. Effective teamwork motivates an individual to grow into a responsible citizen and accomplish individual as well as organizational goals.
In the present day globally competitive market, the real success of a firm lies in the performance of its team. A dull, demotivated team lacking in coordination leads to the downfall of an organization whereas a company with well organized employees charts out the path to success. HR policies of the company are hence always directed for the betterment of the employee so that their performance can be maximized. So, next time, your team lands up with a project, remember the motto: "Together We Can".

-Workplace Personality
Every workplace is made up of people who differ from each other in the way they carry out themselves.
Because of this difference in the personality, there are times when the atmosphere in the workplace becomes tense and obstructs individuals from performing to their fullest.
In the workplace, it has been often seen that you get along nicely with some of your colleagues and with some, you don't even see eye to eye. If we don't get along nicely with someone in our social circles, we try to avoid that person and avoid meeting them, but, in the workplace, it becomes difficult to work along with acquaintances with whom you are not in the best of terms.
So, it becomes important to resolve personality conflicts to improve teamwork. It is crucial that we put maintain a harmonious relationship with people we work, and one of the best ways to do this is to get an insight into their personality types. Let us take a look at some personality types that we or our colleagues may broadly fall into.
In my opinion, insecurity must be the number one cause of controlling behavior in a spouse or partner. Most people who are unsure of the way their relationship is panning out would be inclined towards controlling behavior. It is a simple enough line of thought. If a person is able to 'manage' the relationship, then things won't go wrong. Perhaps it may stem from a lack of trust in a seemingly flirtatious partner, or a lack of self-confidence. Either way, the person will display controlling behavior to ensure that he or she does not get hurt in the future.
The second cause of this behavior is when people have an innate desire to control their surroundings, not because of uncertainty, but because they seem to derive some bizarre kick from it. Remember that bully in school? There are some people who seem to derive a good deal of satisfaction by the knowledge that they are in control of things and people obey their every command.
