Socialising time. It’s vital to allocate socialising time for staff, employees and colleagues to interact and connect with one another. It could be free time for staff to mingle or it could be having a meal together.

A lot of people waste some hours travelling to-and-fro from their work places. In some towns and cities, there are normally unbearable traffic jams during rush hours. Also people and other co-workers consume some of their working hours socialising in their offices. With all this time wasted commuting and socialising, productivity is jeopardised. However, people who work from their homes are likely to be self-motivated and results oriented. Thus, they end up getting a lot of work done by turning travelling and socialising time into production time. Moreover, when workers are more productive they are likely to earn more income through bonus payments.

Understanding between individuals is vital to growing trust; this will lead to sharing of ideas and information. Everyone in the group needs to be aware of each member’s skills and personality. When it comes to setting team goals it will be easier to develop a shared vision of success. This can be achieved through building in socialising time into team meetings.
