Work Group or Team Functioning

A practical tool to measure team functioning
The Work Dynamics Profile (WDP) is a tool designed to provide a better understanding of the functioning of a particular work group or team. This information can serve to identify and address risk factors or issues in teams that are struggling, as well as helping good teams to be even better. Trainers, coaches, consultants, and HR professionals use the WDP to help clients better understand how their work groups or teams are functioning. 

What are work dynamics?
Workplace dynamics refers to the ebb and flow of productive activity in an organizational team.  This is not static but varies as a function of task expectations and timelines, working relationships, organizational culture and external demands, to name only a few. The extent to which a work team is able to sustain productivity and accomplish desired goals in the face of such variables is determined by the presence and impact of a number of critical factors. The Work Dynamics Profile addresses seven of the most critical factors:

  • Leadership
  • Teamwork
  • Work Flow and Function
  • Reward and Recognition
  • Communication
  • Workplace Wellness
  • Engagement

Much more than a simple survey
The WDP has two powerful features that aid consultants and workplaces find solutions for problems facing their teams. When the WDP identifies a potential problem within a team, it provides straightforward, practical advice about how to improve that factor.
