4) Build Your Team


team building
 

It is important, right from the beginning, to try and work together as a team. If the Christian Workplace Group takes off, then there will be many things to do and it is important to share the tasks around. Be positive and encourage people to play their part.

Remember that Christians come from different church backgrounds, denominations and traditions. Make sure that people in the group do not feel excluded because of differences in styles of worship. Be as inclusive as possible.

Prayer is important, so if you can, set up a group of people who will regularly pray for the organisation and the issues you face.

Who will lead the group where you work, and who will form the leadership team?
The group will require leadership from the outset. Establish a small leadership team who can share the work of planning and developing the group.

We would love to support & equip you on this journey, please email us at office@transformwork.net or use our contact us form.
