Strong teams are the foundation of a successful organization. Great teamwork requires collaboration, commitment, and strong communication.

As a new supervisor, one of your most important responsibilities is to create an environment that encourages teamwork.

It’s usually not the task at hand that challenges a team in their progress, but the relationships and environment of the workplace.

Why Teamwork?

There are many benefits of Teamwork, but here are a few:

  1. Better problem solving
  2. Greater productivity
  3. Increased job satisfaction

At Valero, we value a work environment where everyone feels heard, valued, and respected.

Employees that feel valued and a part of the larger organization are inspired to work harder and enjoy what they do.

"Good teams become great ones when the members trust each other enough to surrender the ‘me’ for the ‘we’!"
Phil Jackson
