The first is open lines of communication to share news and “ call out individual contributions from specific people that have gone above and beyond .” Co-branded work environments are another pillar , through office artwork and branded desktop platforms “ to bring the teams closer together .”
Biannual surveys are also conducted to gauge the connectedness of the Virgin Media operational partners , and to solicit feedback - a valuable loop that helps Good and his team learn what they should be doing differently . That feedback is used to create a ‘ one-team plan ’ ( point four ), a combined course of action to inform where there is room for improvement , and what goals they can work towards together .
