Team development and Teambuilding

Every team experiences multiple stages of development from forming to performing. (Tuckman).
At the same time, specific roles take shape within a team. (Raoul Schindler):

Teams only reach the “performing” stage within the context of a clearly formulated goal and the commitment of each team member. Powerful organizations rely on powerful teams. Nevertheless, the process leading to the development of a powerful team might often be complex and challenging.

With becker: human resource solutions as your partner in team development, you will establish concrete measures and action plans over the course of a series of seminars. An effective blend of activities, frameworks for a structured exchange, and concrete action plans will be implemented by means of a methodical and individual approach. Our goal is to turn you into a “performing” team (Tuckman).
