In this Culture Byte episode, Sue Tetzlaff discusses how to utilize teams as a way to foster employee engagement. She emphasizes the importance of creating teams with a compelling purpose and empowering them to fulfill that purpose. Sue also highlights the benefits of utilizing a team structure in organizations, where teams are aligned with strategic priorities and work on organization-wide improvements. Additionally, she suggests repurposing staff meetings as improvement meetings to actively engage employees in the improvement process.
