Collaboration is the most significant driver of cohesion in
the workplace. It encourages everyone within the organization to give their
best efforts and become engaged and attentive to the overall health of the
organization.
According to a study by Stanford University, teams that work
well together are 50% more productive. This statistic underscores the strong
connection between effective teamwork and increased productivity. When team
members collaborate efficiently, they can complete more tasks and projects in
less time. However, the degree of improvement varies based on team dynamics and
the nature of the tasks.
**Improved Decision-Making**
The Harvard Business Review found that teams make better
decisions 87% of the time compared to individuals. Collaboration brings diverse
perspectives and ideas to the table, leading to more informed decision-making.
This statistic suggests that group decision-making is often more accurate and
well-rounded.
