INTRODUCTION
Multi agency are those organisations who are working in the area of welfare of society,
their major work is to prevent crime etc. Thus, these people work in welfare to satisfy the needs
of multiple and complex nature individuals (Regan, Laschinger and Wong, 2016). This project
stated about communication and collaboration in the field of management of professional
environment. Working across border is not an easy thing, it service provider may fail to deliver
best level of facilities when they operate in other countries and this can hamper well being of
community. This concern need to evaluate properly. Moreover, it will also state about
importance of collaboration in team environment with effectiveness of services provided by
multi agency team.
TASK
Reason why working across boundaries is critical to well-being of service users
Boundaries differentiate the needs many individuals. It is important to understand the
demands of various people properly so that chances of managing task become appropriate and
effective in nature. Thus, for a person working across boundaries is critical and it is consider as
one of a major thing.
With every region or a continent, service users vary from each other. This stated that all
their satisfaction elements vary with time frame. This frame stated about culture differentiation.
Working across the boundaries consider as not an easy thing because it create hurdles in success
of an individual. Hence, service users will not become able to gain effective and appropriate
services which facilitate the chances of dissatisfaction.
If an individual went to another place for work then chances of failure are much higher
than usual one. Such individual need to determine various personnel who are present in another
country, this is important for satisfying major and complex needs. For this relation, effective
communication is an essential thing.
Hence, effective work become impossible in nature with collaboration and coordination
between various individuals. Hence, various agencies work together in order to improve the
well-being of users. This project is based on NHS which is one of a UK based association who
are providing quality service to each and every personnel. Thus, if I am going to work in UK it
will create a boundary or hurdle in performing the work effectively, as well as service users
1

welfare will also get impacted. This factor is consider as critical issue in order to deliver
appropriate and high standard service which create problem in doing better things.
Thus, to deal with this consent, it is important to prepare an appropriate partnership or
collaboration of working so that better and effective services get appropriate promotion. I have to
determine all major issues and problems which might arise when collaborative work get
promoted like issue between two or more person, lack of analysis about human behaviour etc.
Service users are ultimate people whom gain utilities of some basic concern which
completely associate with needs and demands (Moss and et. al., 2016). At global level, an
individual needs and wants are multiple as well as complex which cannot be understood easily.
This factor creates problem in order to deliver them so that poor results get derive. Several points
which lead to consider at the time of work at another place are: Increase moments of failure: This consent is not appropriate and effective in nature due
to culture difference. This lead to increase chances of failure in project as thus well-
being services not get deliver properly. NHS is an association whom are providing better
and effective services to all users but in case of culture boundary this will lead to
increase outcome of failure. I have to determine all necessary chances of failure properly
so that well-being services get deliver to all users properly. Forecasting issue: Another problem is associated with forecasting because other
individual interest determination in advance is not an easy thing which create problem
when well-being services get render. Hence, it need to critically understand all major
issues or such people whom have a relation with such organisation interest. Thus,
forecasting for such delivery of services in advance consider as critical in nature.
Although, chances of failure get rises with this consent.
 Management: Another issue concern with an individual well-being services is
management. No one get manage properly if they belong to different culture. I have to
determine all people whom are over there culture properly and then manage them
effectively (Moss and et. al., 2016). But this concern is difficult because every person
culture dimensions get vary from each other and their critical understanding create issue
and problem which is not appropriate in nature.
These all are major issues and problems which associated with well-being services due to
change in culture dimension in nature just because chances of not appropriate outcome are high.

All these situation arise just because critical aspect of working beyond the boundaries. This
problem get overcome only with support of various people and their collaboration work.
Through their support all goals and objectives get accomplish in an appropriate frame in order to
maximise effective and suitable return.
Importance of collaboration in team environment
One of a major thing which associated with the success of a business is concern with
team efforts and work. With expansion of competition in keen market, it is essential to promote
creativity at workplace as well as increase team contribution for maximising and gaining healthy
and effective outcome in nature (Morton and et. al., 2017). Thus, it is important to understand the
essentials of collaboration in team environment so that better and effective gains get promoted in
nature.
Work in a team make an individual more creative and effective in nature as compared to
a person whom are working alone. Collaboration make an individual more responsible in nature
with high motivation level especially in virtual team efforts. Collaboration is consider as a factor
in which two or more individual come together for achieving a common goal by sharing ideas,
skills and views with each one of them. Thus, various importance of collaboration in order to
promote team environment have stated as follow (Benefits of Collaboration and Teamwork,
2018): Increase productivity: One of an essential aspect which get accomplish through business
and its activity are increase in production. Team work and collaboration enhance
productivity so that customer satisfaction get enhance in an appropriate frame. Team
work promote each and every concern person start work together for a common goal and
objective so that better and effective gain chances get increases. Team environment is a
situation when everyone start working in a group so that better results get promoted. Enhance profitability: Another concern which is associated with team environment and
collaborative work is to enhance profitability (Hu and Kapucu, 2016). It is important for
an association to increase profit margin just to get sustain into keen competitive world
for more and more appropriateness. Through which more and more concern people work
together for several number of goals in order to accomplish them so that better and
quality outcome get promoted in an appropriate and ethical manner. Thus, team work is
3

essential in order to maximise profitability as well as being lead to support in order to
accomplish all goals and targets properly. Foster Diversity: Diversity stated as when more and more people work together in order
to accomplish all goals and targets properly. Foster diversity is a major concern of an
organisation in which more and more people come together and start working as well soi
that better and effective results could be gain. Diversity environment lead to provide
solution of many consents in an effective manner so that suitable gains get promoted as
well as more and more concern goals get accomplish. NHS have more number of
individual working in which various people whom related with other boundaries come
together and work in order to provide better services to each and every individual. Development in employee skills: A major thing which is associated with team working
and collaboration is development in an individual skills and working. It is important to
estimate that whenever more and more people start working together chances of their
overall growth and development rises (García-Peñalvo and et. al., 2016). Development in
employees skills is consider as beneficial concern for business through which more
suitable results lead to get determine. Thus, team work organises various individual work
in a together perspective whom related with different skills. Thus, development of skills
in an individual get rises with team work.
 Speed up solutions: A major factor which stated with team work environment and
collaboration is speed up number of solutions. Although, with effective work and target
accomplishment more and more accurate outcomes get rises so that chances of unfair
and unethical situation get modify easily. Collaboration make things and activities fast in
nature which signifies about speed up working so that track progress get improve as
well. Thus, whenever any unnecessary situation get arise an individual is less active and
capable to determine solution against that but with effective team working this consent
become possible in nature as well as more accurate and suitable results get accomplish in
an appropriate frame.
Thus, it is important to maintain collaboration in team environment because if there is
lack of coordination between working then business will not become able to accomplish goals
and targets effectively. Thus partnership and combine working is consider as only and major
thing for managing and achieving targets effectively (The Importance of Collaboration in the
4

Workplace, 2017). Moreover, if all individual will not lead to work together then it directly made
vast impact on productivity and profitability of business as well as their services get impacted.
Thus, to deal with this factor, it is important to maintain collaboration in team environment in
order to grab all suited results. NHS need to improve their team working and promote effective
working as well so that their work efficient get increases as well as more suited results get derive
in order for betterment and appropriate outcome ascertainment. Team environment creates a
healthy and appropriate environment as well through which many employees get retain into an
association again and again.
The way good practice could contribute to the effectiveness of multi-agency team
Teams are consider as group of several number of people whom lead to work together in
order to accomplish a single aim or objective (Dalkir and Beaulieu, 2017). It is important to
understand the utilisation of a team or a unit in an organisation so that chances of better and
effective results become possible in nature. For this context, multi-agency team get structure
whom have potential to deal and carrying out activities which consider as harmful nature for
society. Thus, it is important to determine the effectiveness of these teams in order to perform
good practices so that better results get estimated properly.
There are several barriers get evaluated at the time of framing multi agency team which
stated as:
Vested interest
Short term thinking
Sheer complexity of same task
Organisational culture
There are various dilemmas associated with the teams which need to get follow up in an
appropriate frame (Bovee, Thill and Raina, 2016). Multi agency teams are consider as such unit
whom belong to distinct nature of agencies, culture and professional background must ensure
that with other consents properly. Moreover, suitable negotiation lead to take place properly
when appropriate team lead to get built.
All terms need to mutually get understand in an appropriate frame by working in more
flexible manner, listen actively and engage in diverse perspective. These teams start sharing their
views, aspects properly so that better and effective work get promoted.
5

Multi agency teams are such people or professional whom are working together for a
common concern but belong to various sectors for providing integrated support to many
individuals. Thus, these multi agency teams are more effective in nature as many shared and
suitable knowledge professional already involve over there. They all are more capable in order to
deal with various constraints effectively so that society well bring get promoted. Various
dilemmas which associated with effective good practices of multi-agency team are stated as
follow: Management change: In a team every individual lead to work properly together by
managing each other with their provided status. It is also important to deploy workload
properly between each and every individual properly so that chances of best suited results
could be estimated effectively (Rittinghouse and Ransome, 2016). Sharing and redistributing of skills: Another thing which is associated with team is to
share out all skills between various individual. Sharing and redistributing of skills and
thoughts support in making a team whom are free and able to accomplish all targets
properly. Thus, it is essential to follow out all skills properly by sharing it with each and
every person.
 Providing services: This signifies about by creating more and appropriate protocols and
procedures and documentation. Another thing is that unit need to confront each and every
segment of contract with every individual so that chances of conflicts get reduced. This
will bring effective results as well as problem get resolve.
All these consents need to perform by multi agency team in an appropriate manner as
well as they need to perform good practices (Van Wie, 2017). I have to determine the major
problem which associates with society and work on them properly by providing good practices
against them. Good practices which perform by multi agency teams are effective and appropriate
in nature in order to upraise standard of society. This lead to provide benefits to society in order
to grab more appropriately all outcomes. Thus, every individual need to share their views
properly for a concern problem and evaluate beneficial thing in order to resolve that for
managing and maximising effectiveness.

CONCLUSION
It can be concluded from the project that it is important to maintain effective and efficient
communication process in every profession so that appropriate collaboration will get promoted.
With suitable collaboration in working, chances of better and effective gains will be promoted in
order to get better and suited results. There are several multi agencies whose are working in the
areas of reducing crime. Along with this, working across the boundaries is considered as a
critical aspect of business and there are many issues arise when it comes to the point of well-
being of users. Along with this, team environment need to get promoted properly by
collaborating with each other so that all goals and target get accomplish as well as profit and
productivity arises. There are various concerns and practices which are performed by multi
agency team thus their effectiveness will lead to contribute overall growth and development.
