When it comes to a winning team building event, there is a little more involved than just making sure your team are having fun. Whilst the main goal from your team building event may well be to make sure the team relax that doesn't mean that can't also be productive for your company.
Through a series of planned team building events that are fun and motivational, teams build skills like communication, planning, problem-solving and conflict resolution. So it is important you get your team building event right!
1. Set Clear Goals
Even though the corporate team building event can be fun for everyone involved, it is important to remember that in the end, it has to accomplish its goals to be worth the investment. That's why it's important to establish clear areas of focus that you want your employees to work on during the team building events.
2. Involve The Right People
Team building events can be very beneficial for all employees, but as is the case in most companies, some employees need more help than others. Whether it is poor people's skills, isolation, or even a tendency for conflict, making sure that people who need to improve are actively engaged in the team building event is essential.
3. Find The Correct Time
You can't expect your employees to fully engage with your event if you do not plan it to fit their schedules and personal lives. Some people will have an issue with doing team building events during their free time because they want to spend time with their families, so make sure that everyone's on board if you want to do a team building event in the evening.
4. Learn Something New
If your employees don't come out of the team building event having learned something new, it won't be very valuable. That doesn't mean that you should take a class together (although that can be a great idea), but learning something new about themselves, their colleagues, and how to better work together should be part of any team building event.
