Here are three ways you can encourage collaboration within your team.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-1--nurture-an-open-work-environment\">Nurture an open work environment\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True collaboration needs to happen in an environment where team members feel comfortable communicating openly. In meetings, give team members space to ask questions and provide feedback. Demonstrate honest and productive communication as a leader by clearly setting expectations, being transparent, and hearing out team members when they have input or disagree with your decisions.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-2--build-team-relationships\">Build team relationships\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working together is a lot easier when – surprise, surprise – you like the people you’re working with. Strengthening interpersonal relationships within your team goes a long way towards encouraging collaboration.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Building relationships takes time and doesn’t just happen over the occasional team-bonding exercise. As a manager, work in time each week to connect with individual members of your team on a one-to-one basis and set up time for your team members to connect with each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Encourage personal connection beyond the daily tasks of your team and show that you care about your team members’ lives outside the office, too. Even simple social interactions such as coffee runs and team lunches help create a happy team over time! In the Canto office, we often initiate social activities inside and outside the office, including coffee, juice and boba runs, yoga classes and happy hours, in addition to our team quarterly celebrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"toc-3--use-technology-to-connect-your-team\">Use technology to connect your team\u003C\u002Fh2>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether your team is distributed or not, it’s easy to get stuck working in silos rather than cohesively as a unit. Using cloud-based technologies that anyone can access from anywhere with an internet connection helps your team work together, no matter where they are. If your team is distributed, turning on the video during conference calls can help remote team members get ‘face time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For teams that work in the same physical space, it’s still useful to have centralized platforms that team members can access for information and project management. Have one source of truth for project timelines and tasks and one for all of your brand assets and files so your team can stay on the same page and prevent crossed wires.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fcustomers\u002Finspirato\u002F\">Inspirato\u003C\u002Fa> uses Canto to store all of their visual assets. Instead of spending time figuring out what assets they have or where certain assets are, the team now focuses on how they can use their assets creatively to achieve their goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">“Canto helped us create a culture of self-service and meaningful collaboration,” said Joe Rahim, digital asset manager at Inspirato. “It democratized all of our content: everybody can see it quickly, understand what we have, and download it in a variety of different sizes and formats according to what they need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about how Canto enables collaboration, \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fdam-resources\u002Fwebinar-marketing-collaboration\u002F\">watch this recorded webinar\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>",2,{"url":36,"url_md":37,"alt":38,"height":39,"width":40},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19193552\u002Fteamwork.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F10\u002F19193552\u002Fteamwork-450x300.jpg","",683,1024,[42],{"id":43,"slug":43,"title":44,"path":45},"industry-insights","Industry insights","\u002Fpost-category\u002Findustry-insights\u002F",[47,54,61],{"featuredImage":48,"postId":49,"slug":50,"title":51,"description":52,"path":53},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.canto.com\u002Fcdn\u002Fen\u002F2019\u002F02\u002F19195656\u002Fworkflow-management-450x208.jpg",21726,"workflow-management","Workflow management – A comprehensive guide","Workflow management accelerates task-completion within a company.
