Respect for Diversity 
In our global economy, you may be working with colleagues from other 
countries and cultures. To be successful, it's essential to reflect on any implicit 
biases you may hold so you can work respectfully with your colleagues. 
You should also call attention to behaviors or decisions that could be subtle 
forms of discrimination. For example, if a minority colleague is consistently 
being talked over or ignored during meetings, you might make a deliberate 
effort to bring the conversation back to that colleague's ideas. 
Respect for diversity in a collaborative environment includes: 
• 
Open communication 
• 
Sensitivity to ethnic and religious backgrounds 
• 
Building and managing expectations 
• 
Facilitating group discussion 
• 
Agreeing on roles that capitalize on individual strengths 
• 
Building consensus 
• 
Eliciting viewpoints from all team members 
Collaboration skills are essential for nearly every job role and industry. 
Knowing how to cooperate well with others will support workplace efficiency, 
aid in career advancement and help you and your team achieve better outcomes. 
In this article, we provide some helpful background information, examples 
and a few useful tips to help you boost your collaboration skills and improve 
your effectiveness at work. 
What is collaboration? 
Collaboration means working together with one or more people to 
complete a project or task or develop ideas or processes. In the workplace, 
collaboration occurs when two or more people work together towards a common 
goal that benefits the team or company. Workplace collaboration 
requires interpersonal skills, communication skills, knowledge sharing and 
strategy, and can occur in a traditional office or between members of a virtual 
team.

Working as a team not only drives greater productivity, but it also fosters 
healthy relationships between employees. Often, when employees work together 
they’re more effective and efficient than those who attempt to manage the same 
projects alone. Successfully collaborating with your coworkers can also increase 
your motivation and level of engagement at work. Additionally, sharing ideas 
and brainstorming is helpful for developing unique solutions to complex 
challenges. There are many ways to collaborate effectively at work, and the 
skills and techniques you rely on when you collaborate can lead to greater 
efficiency and success. 
• The benefits of collaboration 
Being collaborative has several advantages for you as well as your team 
and employer: 
Solving 
problems 
and 
examining 
the 
big 
picture 
Collaboration results in together a significant amount of talent, including 
professionals across a wide range of skills and knowledge. This allows you to 
benefit from a variety of perspectives. When you can leverage multiple peoples’ 
expertise, you’ll likely solve problems faster and drive better outcomes long-
term. 
• Inspiring self-analysis 
Working collaboratively can help you become more aware of your 
strengths as well as your weaknesses. This will help you leverage your best 
skills, and identify which areas you may need assistance from people with 
different expertise. As a result, you and your teammates can work better together 
to fill in competency gaps. 
• Teaching and learning 
You learn things from other team members every time you come together 
to collaborate. An organization that values collaboration encourages constant 
teaching and learning. Employees feel secure knowing the workplace values 
opportunities to grow and develop, and you’ll also feel motivated to expand 
your skillset outside your current job duties.
