Collaboration

Take the time and attention necessary to get to know your people, their work habits and communication preferences.

• Do they prefer video chats or Slack messages?
• Who is a pro at Excel spreadsheets, and which of your team members is great at brainstorming?
• Does someone learn best by shadowing a colleague, or would they prefer to try things on their own?

Do your best to pair complementary skill sets to enhance your team’s collaboration and tap into each person’s unique strengths. Fostering collaboration takes some effort, but it’s worth it to create greater retention.
