Hi all
I work in a government department in Australia full of a multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals such as social workers / case managers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech therapists, as well as support staff. And again my environment maybe different but it works where I am.
The way our office overcomes some of the division between the various groups of therapists, clerical support and case managers, is to have them do things together. For example joint projects together, utalising the various skills and knowledge of the members, to undertake things such as training, research, attending community events together.
And also we are all mixed in together within our seating arrangements, so the groups are all needing to interact with each other on a daily basis. Which the idea is if we are mixing together constantly it will build the relationships between the various disciplines which I have found has worked.
But it's not a easy solution, as you will potentially always have a division but if you create environments where they have to work with each other and support each other, and also make each other clearly away of all the different things they do to support the team, then you have more chance of successfully building a relationship within the office.
Plus from personal experience I find if I have treated all the various disciplines with respect, I notice I can get more done within my work environment, rather then saying I am better just because I am in a particular role.
Just my thoughts.

Dear all, your contributions are very valid. I have some of my own. I am a directing staff in a command and staff college where we have both teaching and non teaching staff. What we do is to have officers that have one time of the other served as members of the teaching staff to head some of the non teaching staff branches and also have some officers that have had experience in teaching to serve under some senior non teaching staff officials. That way we get a good blend. Both groups are rewarded equally and both have the same opportunities. Therefore no group feels inferior or superior as the case maybe and the atmosphere is relatively peaceful.

Hi Niharika,
I am so glad that you posted such a query. The discussion that follows has given a great insight into many Hr related issues that we face at our organization. Thanks for helping.
Also, I agree with Bhaskaran. Oscar Murphy International is one organisation that can help you immensely. I have used their association to overcome a few problems myself.
Thanks and Regards,
