The workplace team might be created for short- term or for long-term interaction. Teams designed for short-term action might include a team put together for training or \"on-boarding\" a new hire; an employee wellness committee tasked with planning the office's participation in an upcoming marathon; or one that may form to resolve some type of conflict within the organization, such as internal tensions between employees or supply chain problems with a manufacturer. Some examples of long-range teams could be the marketing team charged with building the company's brand against its competitors; an executive leadership team dedicated to the long-range promotion of internal talent; or the human resources team, which may be tasked with training workers, maintaining interoffice relationships, and interpreting employment laws.
