Poor performance in one team member will have an impact on other team members and will almost certainly affect productivity. How best can we minimise this impact and ensure that other team members remain motivated and committed? This training activity provides an opportunity for participants to consider how to minimise the impact of one staff member’s poor performance on other team members – damage limitation.

This training activity starts with a brief introduction of the purpose and a reminder about managers’ roles. Participants then work in small groups, to plan how to manage team issues raised in a case study. Following feedback from the small groups on their plans, there is an optional training activity (if you do not plan to do ‘Identifying support networks’ or ‘Personal development planning’) to help participants think through and meet their support needs. The training activity ends with a brief presentation of guidelines for team effectiveness, which summarises the learning from this training activity.

Who is it for: This training resource is intended for use by trainers to enable participants to minimise the impact of poor performance on team productivity and to keep other team members motivated.
