WHY IS TEAM BUILDING IMPORTANT FOR YOUR COMPANY?

Author: admin Date: Aug 25, 2016

“TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE”

We have all heard of this saying, but why is team building important for your company?

Effective team building means more engaged employees which is good for the company culture. It will also increase trust, encourages communication and collaboration, and reduces conflict.

Of course, it is common for people to go “Oh No!” or “But Why? It’s so boring!” whenever team building activity is announced. So how can we plan activities that will be interesting for your people?

1. Stay away from the regular corporate activities
Events that do not feel like a day at the office are usually the ones that are most memorable and successful. Trying new things with your staff can generate good vibes among employees and in turn benefits the business itself. Choosing something unique and slightly outside of people’s comfort zones can encourage them to come together in new ways.

2. Think of it as an investment
Some activities might seem costly especially when budgets are tight especially that the economy is slow. It is important to weigh the experience for the employees – it will do a lot more if the employees feel appreciated and channel their positive energy into work! Be willing to make a real investment when necessary.

3. Keep that positive energy going
Most team-building falls flat because it is usually a one-time activity. It is key to find ways to keep the excitement going. The challenge is creating opportunities for people to connect and interact in meaningful ways outside of boardroom.
