Why it is important to help develop and support your colleagues so that they can work effectively and efficiently and the benefits to your organization?
It is important to help develop and support your colleagues to help them learn new skills, to build their confidence, to pinpoint areas where training may be needed, if they are working effectively and efficiently it will help promote your business as productivity will be up, time and energy wastage will be at a minimum. If colleagues know their jobs then there is less likely a chance of problems occurring within the office which could lead to disharmony, the term "knowledge is power" is antiquated in a team environment, knowledge should be shared so the team can work well together, learn from each other and respects each other's views and ideas. Remember you are only as good as the team beneath you.
