Optimising Collaboration Between In-House And Freelance Production Team Members

Although freelancers offer new perspectives and specialised skills, it can be difficult to integrate them smoothly with your core production team. In this post, we'll look at ways to optimise your hybrid team's potential and promote productive teamwork.

-> Establish Clear Communication Protocols:

Don't assume freelancers are familiar with your internal workflow. Transparency reduces misunderstandings and delays.

-> Regular Check-Ins:

Set up a regular team or individual calls in advance. For task updates and clear communication channels, use project management software.

-> Centralised File Management:

Make use of cloud storage programmes like Dropbox or Google Drive. This enables version control, simplified collaboration, and instant access to project files.

-> Cultural Sensitivity: Recognise how cultural differences can affect cooperation and communication. Accept diversity as a source of inspiration for new ideas and artistic development. Encourage a welcoming atmosphere where everyone's opinions are respected and heard.

You may close the gap between internal and independent production teams by putting these techniques into practice.

Our Production survey specialises in examining the communication within the production, data storytelling and deep analysis of how it reflects overall productivity and crew satisfaction.
