I worked for a small family run car advertising magazine. The company had two departments, the sales/photography staff who sold ads to car dealers and collected info about each car and the graphics staff who put together the advertising from the car info and photos. There was always a lot of grousing between the two camps that one side did things that the other side couldn't understand and made their jobs harder.
The owner devised a plan where each of the employees had to work for a few shifts with the other group to see what their jobs entailed. It made for a better understanding between them and gave each side an idea that the other jobs weren't exactly easy. Made for a better working relationship between the two groups.
