My Top Reads of the Past Week: The Importance of Teamwork

We’ve all heard of the saying two heads are better than one. It’s true. One can cover another’s blind spots, ensuring that the project is foolproof, or come up with an idea that another would never have come up with. With its benefits, comes its fault: Disharmony.

However, if we learn to tackle that issue, the result would be worthwhile. I chanced upon some articles that could help teams understand how they could work better together. Hope it benefits you as much as it did me!

  1. Why My Company Serves Free Breakfast To All Employees - How a simple notion like having breakfast together can help your company’s progress, by aligning employees efforts and improving the synergy in the office.

  3. 8 Reasons Why You Should Always Say 'Good Morning' To Your Coworkers - Basic respect and honour is how people should deal with other people.
  4. Happiness Expert Says An Easy Way To Strengthen Any Relationship Starts With Adjusting The Way You Say Hello And Goodbye - Sincerity is the key to any relationship’s success.
  5. The Stupid Easy Way To Be More Liked In The Office (That Anyone Can Pull Off) - Action speaks louder than words.

We are in the Skills Business!

Through recruitment, training and consulting, Timeo-Performance provides solutions for increased performance of companies, teams, and individuals. As our clients are in the center of global business and often serve the APAC region, our solutions need to be sustainable in a multicultural and remote context.

Our joint venture with Akteos, the European leader in intercultural training, and partnership with digital learning solutions provider CrossKnowledge have therefore been organic and logical additions to our service. Timeo-Performance has been helping companies in APAC increase business performance since 2008 with offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.

We love what we do, feel the Timeo-Performance experience!

As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
