Breaking Down Silos: Building Collaboration Across Teams and Generations


Virtual, Instructor-Led

Event Summary

Departments, shifts, and generations often operate like separate islands. Collaboration isn’t automatic; it’s engineered. This program shows leaders how to create consistent communication loops, shared problem-solving processes, and cross-shift alignment. You’ll learn how to reduce friction, accelerate decision-making, and create a sense of unity across your operation, even when teams rarely see each other face-to-face.

Participants will receive 1 Professional Development Hour (PDH) upon completion.

Course Objectives

  • Identify communication and collaboration gaps across teams or shifts.
  • Apply structured handoff and communication practices to reduce friction.
  • Strengthen unity and shared ownership across diverse or dispersed teams.

Who Should Attend

Leaders overseeing multiple teams or shifts, supervisors of cross-functional groups, and HR/training professionals improving teamwork.
