Agenda

Welcome & Opening Remarks

Michael McCarroll, Teamraderie Cofounder & CEO

In 2024, a two-year study tracked 100+ workplace teams and identified habits differentiating high-performing teams. Unlike many studies, teams were evaluated on their actual work product using dimensions such as “Efficiency,” “Results,” and “Innovation.” Learn what behaviors and practices identify productive and high-performing teams—and understand what must be in place across your entire workforce to become a high-performance culture.
