How To Build A High Performing Team in 2022
We’re always looking for ways to improve our workforce. Every successful company worth
investing in knows the importance of a high performing team for continued reputation, and
winning practices can be closely guarded. But, we want you to succeed. Keep reading to learn
our top tips for developing a high performing team.
Nurture Hybrid Working
Post-pandemic, companies across all industries have learnt how to combine office working with
employees working from home. The most successful, high-performing teams are continuing to
nurture hybrid working. Developing a business strategy that includes a hybrid working policy
allows room to consider what will work best for each project, task, and individual on your team.
This holistic consideration allows work to be as efficient as possible, free from the potentially
limiting working practices of pre-pandemic.
We know that adapting to hybrid working long term may be a daunting prospect, and involve
some upheaval for management to maintain. Don’t worry - we have some detailed training
courses and resources to guide you through the move to hybrid working to make it as stress-
free as possible.
Embrace Cross-Team Dialogue As Standard Practice
Embracing cross-team dialogue and creating room for regular feedback is one of the best tools
to ensure an efficient, contented, and high performing team. When team members feel
comfortable raising concerns, discussing projects and sharing feedback, they will remain
positive and efficient in their work, and any problems within working practices will be able to be
addressed quickly and directly.
Creating a culture of discussion also goes a long way to making employees feel valued and
nurtured. When wellbeing is focused and nurtured in a team, you can trust your company to go
from strength to strength.
As we embrace hybrid working behaviours, we know the ways in which we communicate and
feedback have changed. Management may not be able to get all the team together in a meeting
room if half the team is working remotely - but that doesn’t mean you have to scrap consistent
dialogue. Some of our extra training in sharing feedback within a hybrid working team, or
delivering a virtual performance review, might be just what you need.
Embrace Individual Strengths and Weaknesses
A reliable, high performing team is built on individuals. Nurturing each team member’s strengths
and weaknesses is a great way of finding the best working practices for your team, and
ensuring output is efficient, consistent, and profitable. Working with individuals strengths
includes allowing space for hybrid working, distributing project tasks to the most suitable team
members, allowing training opportunities for individual weaknesses, and making employee
wellbeing a priority.
Building A High-Performance Team For Today, and Tomorrow
We hope our pointers have given you a confident grounding in nurturing your workforce to build
consistent, high performing teams. We’ve found the best tools of the trade are tried and tested:
welcoming individual differences, strengths and weaknesses as your unique working power,
and encouraging holistic dialogues across all teams. As we prepare for a world post-pandemic,
building hybrid working into your business practice is crucial to keep ahead and succeed. Take
