Team development VU employees

Last updated on 5 March 2025

We are getting an increasing focus on joint performance and complementing each other's qualities within a team. The importance of contributing to agreed team and organizational goals is growing.

The movement initiated by Recognizing and Rewards helps teams to pay more conscious attention to issues such as team diversity, mutual cooperation, communication and effectiveness. But how to develop this in all the hustle and bustle? How do you build a strong, safe and diverse team together in which everyone's talent is utilized?

In addition to training for individual employees, we also offer training for teams. With the offerings below, VU L&D supports teams to enjoy and invest in effective collaboration.

TeamUp workshop

The TeamUp workshop allows scientific and support teams to examine and improve their mutual cooperation and communication and strengthen these using the principles of Art of Engagement.
For more information go to TeamUp workshop.
Team Dialogue

The Science in Dialogue Network organizes monthly trainings on dialogue skills and dealing with conflict and polarization.
Read all the information on the page These times call for dialogue (only available in Dutch).
Team coaching

A team coach can use reflection and dialogue to help a team move forward when something needs to be resolved or improved in the team. For example, the cooperation between two sub-groups in the team, unbalanced input in mood or direction by some team members, or a lack of mutual trust after an event.
