Effective collaboration and employee engagement is the key to business success. Afterall, “teamwork makes the dreamwork.” Countless books, seminars, and business schools have focused on the concept of teamwork - and building winning teams - as well as methods for achieving productivity. These ideas in theory work great, but it doesn’t account for the human element nor does it offer a way to measure their activity or progress: 

And by human element, we’re referring to data that shows:

1. how teams collaborate 
2. how much they collaborate - the frequency and volume of that interaction 
3. where they collaborate 
4. and if collaboration actually hinders ‘focused work’ (distracts from output) 

“Engagement is not an event, an incentive program or a fun perk. While being engaged at work does feel good, it's not a feel-good, team building activity. It is created on a daily basis through one's work environment and relationships”. - Gallup 

Do you think any manager in your organization could answer these questions with data? 

1. “What does your team collaboration look like?”  
2. “Is your team effective?” 
3. “How do you measure collaboration or track employee engagement?” 
4. "How much is collaboration costing vs. saving you?”

Most likely your managers aren’t set up to effectively answer critical questions like this,  Or if they try, then they’d rely on signals such as turnover, outdated/anonymous employee engagement surveys, or department KPIs. Compound this with the acceleration of digital tool usage and mix in hybrid or fully remote working environments, and answering these questions becomes virtually impossible. Until NOW…
