Collaboration

4/7/2015
Team collaboration within the workplace is a crucial concept in
creating cohesive end products. With my GA position, collaboration
takes place on a variety of different levels. Working together with
direct supervisors, team members, and other departmental teams
within the university is mandatory in order to ensure the university
functions cohesively. Collaborative environments can occur in a
multitude of forums. Online collaboration is becoming much more
prevalent due to distance restraints and flexible work schedules.
Webinars are frequent occurrences with the HR department.
These educational sessions allow for multiple people to have live
access to information presented interview and software programs.
Google Docs and Sharepoint allow for many individuals to edit and
access information at the same time. This ability to share information
in different forums enables individuals to collaborate across the office,
the country, or even the world.
