It’s no secret that life has a way of testing us with unforeseen challenges. While it’s impossible to avoid every obstacle altogether, working as a team can make these trials far easier to overcome. When team members play off each other’s strengths, they’ll be able to function as a collective unit that’s greater than the sum of its parts. In this article, we’re going to go over some key benefits and examples of team effort. Let’s get right into it!

We’ve all been part of the group projects at school where we have that one ‘leader’ who decides whose ideas are interesting and dismisses the others as unamusing. In addition to our leader, we had the lazy one who did nothing but took credit for the hard work of others. Based on those past experiences, it’s no wonder why most of us dread the idea of working together with others. And yet, something incredible happens when people come together to create something new.

The concept of burnout isn’t new. But with more employees working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s certainly becoming more apparent. 38% of remote workers say that burnout has worsened throughout the pandemic. And it doesn’t just affect remote workers. A recent study by StuDocu discovered that 7 out of 10 students experienced a decline in their mental health. So it’s clear that the pandemic is impacting the well-being of people all around the world.
