TEAM CULTURE
Over the last few months we have had the privilege of sharing the way in which we as a team can provide support to our clients and families; through a multidisciplinary team approach, therapeutic assistant support and the way in which OT’s share their skills through our own unique lense.
To be a part of a great team and work alongside some amazing health professionals is a privilege.
Our desire to offer support, bring joy and give back to our communities through effective collaboration, is the driving force of everything we do.
The Explore and Soar team love working together in our regular meetings. I always encourage creativity and the freedom to express ideas, recommendations and thoughts with one another. Often our greatest ideas stem from our team catch ups. We spend the time bouncing off one another’s energy, brainstorming and providing support or encouragement when needed. As we are a mobile business, it’s vital for us to put aside the time regularly to maintain a positive and productive team culture.
Team culture at Explore and Soar revolves around building strength and unity together, where open communication and connection is paramount. Ensuring that these things remain a core focus, allows us to collectively feel empowered whilst working independently but also allows us to work efficiently and cohesively as a team. Without this integral core value, our quality of service, knowledge and connection with our clients and families would not be present. It is what sets us apart; our connection and relationships.
Maintaining connection within our team is also encouraged through staff development and training days. These are vital for the continued development of knowledge, skills and support. We also share time together through staff retreats and team days where we can reconnect with each other in order to sustain our culture as a team. This has been paramount over the last few months as we have now doubled our team! To ensure our quality of service remains the same, we must maintain a cohesive work flow and communication. It’s important that we bring our best individual qualities together, placing value on our individual strengths, further allowing us to expand our knowledge as a team.
Our connectedness as a team allows us to offer adaptive, creative and flexible support options to our clients. In addition, our ability to build relationships and connections with your whole family, whilst collaborating with other services, means that we are able to attain the best results for your unique and desired goals.
As we are a mobile business, our way of connecting can sometimes be different within our own team. That’s why it’s so important for us to maintain our regular coffee debriefs, training days and phone calls in amongst our busy schedules. We offer each other support and advice throughout our weeks and sessions with clients – ensuring that the whole team is there to support our communities and one another.
As we finish one year and get ready to step forward into another, we are truly excited to be expanding our team further in order to support our families. We plan to end the year on a positive note, with excitement for the future and by continuing to offer the highest level of support to our clients.
Keep an eye out on our socials for some new team members in the coming weeks! We look forward to introducing some new faces to you all!
Until next time,
Jess
