TeamTalk
Building a culture of belonging through meaningful conversations
Project duration
Ongoing
TeamTalk is an interactive activity designed to help teammates break the ice, build empathy, and collaborate more effectively through curated questions.
Challenge
With many working remote or hybrid, feeling connected in the workplace becomes more important in building a positive workplace culture. How might we encourage open and safe conversations that will help people break the ice, build empathy, and understand how to work better together?
Solution
Build TeamTalk, an online platform for remote teams and a physical card game version for teams who meet in person regularly, to facilitate conversations amongst teammates through carefully curated questions.
Results
Enhance communication skills
TeamTalk encourages team members to articulate their thoughts and feelings, fostering both verbal and non-verbal communication skills as they express ideas and listen to others.
Build trust and camaraderie
By sharing experiences, views and values through TeamTalk, team members develop stronger interpersonal relationships, which leads to increased emotional connections and a sense of belonging within the group.
Strengthen team dynamics
Regular participation in TeamTalk can lead to improved group dynamics as employees become more comfortable with one another, ultimately enhancing collaboration on work-related tasks.
