Be collaborative…
A spirit of collaboration is an essential ingredient of successful integration. This collaborative spirit is built by treating one another with courtesy, patience and respect and by exhibiting fairness, compassion, and honesty in all we do. We can each work to build this collaborative workplace by promoting cooperation and teamwork to meet goals, by mentoring employees and by acknowledging and taking pride in each other’s successes. When problems occur, we must work to maintain open lines of communication and strive to solve them in a proactive, positive manner.
