Reading: 3gHR launches free web-based team assessment

To help organisations and managers quickly diagnose what might be blocking team effectiveness, training consultancy 3gHR has launched a free web-based team-assessment tool: TeamMatters. 

The assessment, which comprises 25 questions, allows participants to appraise their teams through a number of key performance dimensions, enabling them to target performance improvement and address the priority behaviours that are holding them back.

“We all know that it is possible for teams to deliver ‘greater than the sum of their parts’ performance,” said 3gHR’s Scott Chambers. “However it is often their capacity to collaborate, rather than the capabilities of the individual members, that determines success.

“You’d be hard pressed to find a professional sports team that leaves team effectiveness to chance, and yet time and time again business professionals do exactly that.

“TeamMatters provides a critical evaluation of a team in your business and will quickly help you to see below the surface of your team.”

The report includes an executive summary highlighting the relative strengths and weaknesses of the team – a useful insight for any manager interested in concentrating improvement efforts in the right area, added Chambers.

TeamMatters is free of charge and available here.

Based in Reading, 3gHR has been running management and leadership development and executive coaching programmes for the past 13 years and, through working with hundreds of management teams across the globe, has developed a unique insight into what both enables and blocks, effective collaboration.

Clients include TomTom, HSBC, Taylor Wimpey and TalkTalk.
