Careum experienced a significant improvement in team dynamics, with Moodtalk fostering better understanding and stronger connections among team members.
The team adopted a structured collaboration framework, holding team meetings every two weeks and Moodtalk sessions every six weeks to address challenges and develop long-term solutions.
Moodtalk provided continuous support for leadership, enabling flexible responses to team changes and fostering a culture of proactive problem-solving and shared responsibility.
Carmela leads a team of seven employees with different professional backgrounds. The main task of her team is the strategic implementation of corporate goals and the implementation of innovative projects in cooperation with subsidiaries. The challenges lie in coordinating a wide range of projects and dealing with a large number of stakeholders.
Careum's young team initially had difficulty getting to know each other and working together effectively, as there was little thematic overlap between the individual members. This led to challenges in communication and understanding each other's areas of work. "I recommend it to every team, as Moodtalk helps to promote collaboration and open communication," says Stefan. His experience reflects the applicability of Moodtalk to promote team dynamics in a practical and straightforward way.
With the introduction of Moodtalk, the communication culture at Careum has improved significantly. The regular, systematic exchange enabled by Moodtalk helped the team to solve problems directly and steer things in a new direction early on. This led to more effective problem solving and stronger team cohesion.
The team holds team meetings every two weeks, with a mood talk every six weeks. These regular meetings enable the team to continuously work on problems and develop long-term solutions. The rotating moderation in the meetings also strengthens the participation and responsibility of each team member.
Positive effects on team dynamics
Moodtalk has significantly improved the team dynamics at Careum. The regular meetings promote mutual understanding and closeness within the team. Carmela emphasizes that the responsibility for dealing with the issues lies with the team and not just with the manager. This promotes personal responsibility and active participation by all team members.
Carmela emphasizes that Moodtalk is also a valuable support for her as a manager. It enables her to continuously develop the team culture and to react flexibly to new constellations, such as the departure or arrival of team members. Moodtalk helps to address recurring challenges and develop lasting solutions.
Extending the use of Moodtalk beyond the team
The use of Moodtalk at Careum is not limited to Carmela's team. She describes how topics from her team are brought to the management committee at Careum headquarters and further developed there. This practice has already led to process changes in the company, which underlines the versatility and effectiveness of Moodtalk.
Carmela recommends Moodtalk for teams of all sizes and levels of maturity. In her opinion, it doesn't matter whether a team is small or large, because the key is to encourage exchange and strengthen the team's resilience. Moodtalk is suitable for any constellation that aims to continuously improve team dynamics and efficiency.
Careum's experience with Moodtalk clearly shows how effectively this tool can improve teamwork. Through regular, structured exchange and the involvement of all team members, problems can be solved efficiently and team dynamics can be sustainably improved. Moodtalk is a powerful tool for any team that wants to optimize its collaboration and promote a culture of open communication and mutual understanding.
