Question

Which of the following is NOT a benefit of teamwork in an organization? A. Increased speedB. Decreased stressC. Reduced costsD. Improved workplace cohesivenessE. Reduced destructive internal competition

Answer 1

Answer: C. Reduced costs is not a benefit of teamwork in an organization.

Explanation: Even though teamwork and cohesiveness is important is not necessarily cheaper than individuals working. Instead of individuals working on separate tasks and getting them accomplished, they are putting all of their efforts together. The cost wouldn't be cheaper they would just be more efficient.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Reduced costs.

When you are working in an organization, it is true that teamwork makes things easy. Your work completion speed improves, stress decreases, overall workplace cohesiveness improves and destructive internal competition also reduces. So it helps in many ways. But it does not have any significant impact on the cost of the work, as cost is dependent on a lot of other major factors as well. Teamwork alone doesn’t impact cost much.
