Subject: Request to Pursue Research on Team Building’s Effects on Employee

Dear (Decision Maker’s Name),

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to request your approval for a proposal on a research idea that seeks to design a solution to a major issue affecting the employees’ productivity and job satisfaction within our organization. This proposal aims to evaluate how simple team-building activities impact the employees’ morale and their turnover pattern.

The Problem and its Significance

In the current context of our organization, we are experiencing a constant decrease in motivation and higher turnover. These trends signify acute problems such as a decline in the rate of productivity, an increase in the incidents of recruitment, and finally, the loss of valuable institutional knowledge that each departing employee takes with them. Motivation is necessary for employees to maintain focus and work independently; it hampers effectiveness and impacts the organization’s objectives. Turnover rate thus affects the workforce negatively as other employees also get to work under pressure, hence escalating chances of developing burnout rates and high turnover rates.

The importance of solving this problem must be considered. Studies prove that engaged organizational and culturally supportive workforces are associated with lower turnover and higher productivity. Engaged employees are more committed and productive and have low turnover, positively impacting the organization’s financial and operational status. Measures for promoting the improvement of the morale and the turnover rates of the employees are critical for creating a proper work environment (Obuba, 2023). Suppose we encourage the effectiveness of interpersonal communication and conformity to team-building solutions. In that case, improving human resources’ stability and guaranteeing organizational success’s longevity will be easier.

Solution

To counter these issues, we should implement a mandatory team-building session programming as a deliberate effort to develop coworkers’ interpersonal relations for better cooperation, enhanced communication, and unity. Often, such activities can be as basic as ice-breaking or trust exercises to construct problem-solving tasks and various group projects. Thus, incorporating team-building activities into our work schedule will allow the employees to foster friendly relationships and ways of interacting with their colleagues. This will benefit the company by resulting in high job satisfaction and improving team and team collaboration. Additionally, organizing group activities could help understand people’s talents and incorporate them to form a competent team.

Justification of the Project Using Research

Studies have shown that stress-reducing activities help improve people’s attitudes toward work and organizational commitment. Research has found that organizations that participate in team-building events increase employees’ productivity as well, and the voluntary turnover rate is lower (Faozen & Sandy, 2024). Therefore, it is pertinent to highlight the processes through which team-building programs improve employees’ satisfaction and why our organization should consider it a noble course.

Furthermore, team-building activities have a positive impact on team cohesiveness, communication, and job satisfaction. Team-building activities do more than enhance team cohesiveness; they also encourage a better and healthier working climate (Riisla et al., 2021). This, in turn, will go a long way toward helping to foster collaboration, trust, and good relationships among the employees.

Conclusion

Ultimately, increasing employees’ sense of identification with their organization results in improved productivity levels decreased turnover, and thus enhanced organizational environment. I am confident that this research proposal will cover the advantages of team-building activities and offer practical recommendations for implementation. It would be highly appreciated if you could approve this research work proposal to be of consent to embark on this research project. My findings will reveal a positive correlation between the effectiveness of team-building exercises and organizational effectiveness and stability of the organization. Thank you for considering the latter request, and I hope for a positive response from you.

Best regards,
