Social settings, particularly those centered on labour or manufacturing such as the workplace, typically employ many professionals with varying traits, skills, and abilities, to perform an equally wide range of tasks from simple to complex, and their collective effort compiled and processed into something more usable for their employer, and finally translated into a product, good, or service that the company at large provides their consumers. With such a vast network of individuals needed to make their bottom line, it is in the company’s, therefore the individuals’ interests to foster a culture of cooperation and collaboration between each other to maximise productivity and performance.

If only this were so simple. As the harsh reality is that certain individuals lack the skills, motivation, or desire to interact with or fraternise with their peers in such a manner, or may encounter individuals who either due to pre-existing conditions or personal biases, do not wish to engage their peers in such a manner. These behaviours if left unchecked can be the root cause of issues that will eventually crop up under the high-stress environment of the workplace. When this occurs, interruptions, delays, or disruptions that can very adversely affect an organisation’s productivity, and at worst, create a hostile working environment and undue disdain between peers working with one another.

This is an unavoidable consequence of the working environment and can sometimes be seen as a stigma or strong reason why to avoid workplace interaction entirely. However, as with most problems there are solutions, or at the very least alleviated. Cooperation is a powerful tool that allows even a small group of individuals to move mountains or other immense feats of grand scale and daring that most of us could never imagine be done. In any position in a hierarchy, be it a leader or as a subordinate, one’s ability to cooperate and collaborate with their peers in the workplace is an invaluable skill in one’s toolset in any social setting, and especially in the workplace.

Workplaces are by their design a place where many individuals with many differing ideas, professions, beliefs, and philosophies all come together to perform their own individual tasks with the express goal of contributing to a system or machine larger than themselves and be rewarded for their services. This training and many others offered Australia wide in Perth, Canberra, Darwin, Adelaide, Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Parramatta, Melbourne.

This clash of different personalities, as well as the workplace, and environment, will however inevitably cause friction between individuals causing disruptions, and other adverse effects creating negative repercussions within the operation of the company. To this end, this training session addresses the need for people who know the core fundamentals of Human Resource Management, people who know how to foster an environment of cooperation, people who know how to care for their peers, and finally people who understand, see the need for, and know the power of the individual within the group and how to best utilise each and every ones’ truest strengths for maximum productivity. For these goals and more this course of Collaboration Training was created and is now open to the general public to apply for.
