As part of the human capital management initiatives at Tatweer Buildings Company, I was pleased to organize a team-building activity in collaboration with PROTRAINING. This initiative aimed to develop employees’ skills, including teamwork, leadership for success, negotiation, active listening and constructive collaboration to build a successful team.

Learning and Development Operation Assistant Specialist, Tatweer Buildings Company

PROTRAINING donate all completed bikes to Senses Residential and Day Care for Special Needs . Not only were we growing and bonding as a team, but we were working towards a common goal, building a bike for a child! My key takeaway today wasn’t that “everything works better when everyone works together on the same thing”. Our team quickly identified where strengths lay… mine was NOT in building a bike! So, I was assigned as “Designer and Happiness”. This meant I could use my creativity and imagination to pick decorations for the bike and tell some pretty awful jokes to keep my team smiling. I learnt that identifying strengths and allowing individuals to shine in the areas they are experts in, then coming back as a team to work towards a common goal is what makes a great team. Thank you to the entire team! (Read Full Testimonial)
