Management of Safe-Child Advocacy, Catholic Archdiocese of Kumasi organized a team-building workshop for staff on Wednesday, 11th January 2022 on the theme “Building a Successful Team” to prepare and equip the team to deliver quality services and achieve success in the 2023 work year. The session began with an icebreaker facilitated by the Programs Manager, Jessica Deh, where staff shared how they spent their Christmas holidays. It was fascinating to hear staff share their experiences on how they celebrated Christmas. It was a great opportunity for bonding for the staff after a long break and set the tone for the workshop.

The team further was grouped into three (3) according to the various Centres of operation i.e., the Drop-in Centre, Daycare Centre, and Vocational Training Centre to engage in a group discussion on building a successful work team. The various Centres, as part of the discussions, set their aspirations or goals for the year and made individual commitments towards their achievement. The team also looked at some possible challenges that may hinder the achievement of their goals and proposed measures to mitigate such limitations to ensure that they achieve success at the end of the year.

This exercise offered an opportunity for great learning for staff and prepared their minds towards working to achieve the success of the institution in 2023.

Team building workshops are great ways to create a strong bond between team members and improve team dynamics, especially when starting a new work year.
