Cultural Tip
In German workplaces, praising a team’s effort is appreciated, but keep the register in mind: ‘super’ is informal and best used with colleagues you know well or in relaxed settings. In formal reports or presentations, opt for adjectives like ‘hervorragend’, ‘ausgezeichnet’ or ‘effizient’. Also, note that ‘Zusammenarbeit’ emphasizes the process of working together, while ‘Teamarbeit’ focuses more on the group itself.
