The critical component in a more resilient, better engineered, helping system is the team. designing collaborative work in professional teams has the potential to transform our work and support a safer, more effective, and more engaged workforce. Not only are collaborative decisions of teams known to be more effective, the social connectedness that emerges from what the military calls "unit cohesion" may be our most efective buffer against the effects of burnout and work-related stress (including traumatic stress).
