Strategies staff use to communicate effectively with one another
Staff meetingsRegular opportunities for staff to
attend staff and team meetings will support staff to develop and maintain a strong team work relationship
Staff communicate effectively by actively listening to colleagues and striving to understand their colleagues perspectives.

Staff meetingsThe way staff relate to each other will
influence the atmosphere created in the service
Staff meetings:
Allow staff to have input into decisions being made
Act as a means of receiving and discussing information
Provide an avenue to air grievances, and discuss any concerns

You can help make the meetings more successful by doing the following:
Preparing for a meeting beforehand by thinking about what you would like to discuss, what you would like to achieve, and how you’ll approach the rest of the team.
If there is an agenda outlined beforehand, familiarise yourself with the topics to be discussed.
Sharing your ideas freely with your team in a logical genuine way.

Asking questions when you don’t understand other’s suggestions and discussions
Listening carefully to what others have to say and clarifying anything that you’re unsure of

Trying to encourage those who are quiet to participate.
Clarifying who is responsible for the outcomes of the meeting and summarising any future tasks which you understand are your responsibility

Communication strategies
An important element of effective team work is the ability of staff to empathise with and support their colleagues. This assists staff to appreciate each other’s feelings, views, needs and interests and respect the knowledge and skills that each staff member brings to work
![Page 11: Work with others week 10](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070303/5494af91ac7959342e8b4c74/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
By communicating well staff can share the information that is needed to establish and maintain positive relationships with each other.
Effective communication enables staff to operate as a team to reflect upon, plan for and improve practice within the workplace

Working CooperativelyWorking cooperatively requires team members to complete their individual responsibilities and duties, but to also use their initiative and assist and support the other team members within the workplace
![Page 13: Work with others week 10](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070303/5494af91ac7959342e8b4c74/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
These behaviours are highly regarded within community services organisations and demonstrate an individual’s ability to be an effective team member
Behaviours that promote cooperation in the work place include:
Effective and ethical communication with team members.
Ensuring decisions and practices are fair and equitable.
Discussing issues and concerns openly.
