something better than \\\'corporate spirit\\\'/ staff newsletter
vi-anda
... kommer att bidra till bättre lönsamhet, ge starkare vi-anda och förbättra koncernens totala image.
All I can think of is 'corporate spirit' or 'togetherness'.
This is a fairly informal staff newsletter, and 'corporate spirit' feels very heavy just here. It's more 'helping each other out' than waving banners.
I'm not entirely happy with 'togetherness' either.
Team spirit?
Deadline in two hours, but thanks for any comments - this may well come up again later!

Comment: "Points to Terence for coming first (I thought of 'team spirit' at the second reivsion of the question!) But this is a regular topic with a regular client, who puts it different ways on different occasions, so many thanks to everyone - I'll very probably be using the other suggestions later. "

Your own suggestion 'team spirit' can hardly be bettered.

group morale
...would be another expression for it, though that might be a little heavy too. Team spirit, as you suggest, sounds pretty good to me at least.
