Team Building on the Ward – Without a Budget

Most wards have no budget for team building. But it does not have to cost anything to build a better work culture. 1. Coffee roulette: Randomly pair colleagues for a 15-min coffee every other week 2. Positive note: Write a positive comment on a post-it for a colleague each week 3. Rose and Thorn: Share a highlight and challenge at the end of each shift 4. Shared playlist: Create a Spotify playlist the whole ward contributes to 5. Knowledge sharing: 10-min mini workshop during staff meetings about something you recently learned Small efforts like these build trust and make the workplace more enjoyable.
