Working with Others examines the extent to which employees work with others to carry out their tasks. Do they have to work co-operatively with others' Do they have to have the self-discipline to meet work targets while working alone'
Description of Work Context This description, in the form of an untitled paragraph at the beginning of the Working with Others section in each Essential Skills Profile, outlines the ways in which workers interact with one another to carry out their tasks. This section covers four types of work contexts. Knowing whether workers work alone, independently, with partners or as team members will help readers understand the skills workers use in their jobs. As well, this section provides an idea of the variety of work interactions found within an occupational group. Workers may work independently most of the time, but work with partners in certain circumstances. For example, "Longshoremen work independently when operating forklifts in the yards but work with partners to load cargo into the hold of a ship." Types of Work Contexts Work alone Employees work alone providing products or information on progress to others. Home-based production workers work alone within their home environments. Work independently Workers are not physically alone but work independently, co-ordinating their work with that of others. Receptionists in a large office and production line workers with responsibility for a very specific part of the process are in physical environments that include other workers. However, they work essentially on their own. Work jointly with a partner or helper One worker co-ordinates and co-operates with only one other co-worker at a time. A tradesperson works with an apprentice. A dental assistantworks with a dentist. Work as a member of a team A team is a group of workers who produce a product or accomplish a task through combined effort and organized co-operation. Members of a film crew work together to create a feature film or documentary.
