In summary
Creating a strong team is essential for success in today's corporate environment. This article looks at how to use South Africa's broad talent pool to build effective teams.
Getting to Know the Group
South Africa has a diverse array of cultures and skill sets. Teams benefit from diverse thinking, which brings fresh perspectives and approaches to problem-solving.
Integrating outsourced team members
We have observed that outsourcing can create anxiety among the existing in-house team, leading to concerns about job security. Therefore, it is crucial to communicate the objective and significance of outsourcing to the business by meeting with the in-house team. Our research has shown that appointing a manager to the outsourcing team can be a morale booster for individuals looking to advance in their careers.
Clear Communication
Good communication and listening skills are vital. Inclusivity is crucial, and this means including the South African candidates, as they are an integral part of your team.
Selection Process
When hiring, prioritise candidates with experience in remote work, problem-solving skills, flexibility, commitment, and loyalty.
Facilitating Team Harmony
A cohesive team produces superior work. Collaboration across the team is needed to ensure full buy-in and understanding of objectives and strategy. Provide opportunities to connect effectively, but without the mistake of having meetings for the sake of having meetings.
Opportunities to develop
Giving your team opportunities to develop and learn makes them more equipped to take on new tasks. Training and education are what every person needs to develop and grow in their career. Nobody wants a bored team member.
In summary
In South Africa, building a strong team entails integrating everyone, just as you would onboard a new hire. There should be no difference in how you hire someone in South Africa or someone in-house. Include and collaborate as you usually would.
