The Impact of Stress on Work Teams

Description

The Impact of Stress on Work Teams Overview Few trends have influenced how work gets done in organizations as much as the use of work teams. The shift from working alone to working on teams requires employees to cooperate with others, share information, confront differences, and sublimate personal interests for the greater good of the team. Managers can build effective teams by understanding what influences performance and satisfaction. In today’s business environment, diversity among team members adds another dimension.
