Many
organizations today consider cross-functional teams to be an integral
strategy for success. Three benefits most often cited by these organizations
are:
- Increased job satisfaction. It stands to reason that employees
who pull together as a team have more pride – and more of
a stake – in their individual performances.
- A sense of closure. Everyone enjoys getting things done and
moving on to something new. Cross-functional teams let you start
projects fresh, without the baggage of unfinished business or
loose ends to distract them.
- Better cooperation among people and between departments.
Cross-functional team members learn a new awareness of how people
and functions are intertwined in an organization. That awareness
tends to breed more productivity and genuine camaraderie.
