More About Team Building Activities

It is never enough for a company to have skillful individuals. A company will be able to produce efficient and high-quality work if it is composed of individuals functioning as a team. But, how do they become a team? People will never simply come together in a new group and form a team. This is where team building activities come in.

Through team building activities, the group can come together, outside of the office, and create bonds. Members will be able to build a solid foundation as a team while as they build a history together and share goals while having fun. Also, Team building activities give a small dose of inter-team competition that help each member to function at their best. Team building activities also take competition away from the office and bring it into a more effective and beneficial venue. Because, when too much competition exists, it can be detrimental to the team’s functioning. Team building activities allow the group members to compete in the team building activities, not office goals and projects.

A company’s need for team building will never cease. Team building activities are essential to success. It is also important to hire a qualified company to create and lead a team building event to help groups of people come together and form a cohesive, well-working team that will function seamlessly to achieve the goals and meet the complexities of the office life.

Do Team Building Activities Work?

Do team building activities work, you ask? Well, YES! Without team work, a company’s success is very limited; and team building activities work to promote this essential component of any productive company. Team building activities make long term changes in the way’s employees interact and conduct business.

Maybe, you have participated in the wrong type of team building activities for you to think that team building activities are not effective. The wrong type of team building activities are the ones people participated in and say, “Oh, not this again, I did this last year!” Only high-quality team building activities will produce high quality results. It is important to provide new, exciting and dynamic team building events that your team haven’t experienced before.

If you work with a company that can offer unique, exciting and outcome-oriented team building activities you’ll notice a difference in your team’s productivity and overall functioning. For a team building activity to work, it is also important to take your staff and put them in an environment that will not only build their team skills but allow them to enjoy each other’s company while they do.

How to Choose the Right Team Building Activity

A team building event is necessary to the success of a company. Research has shown that when people work in teams, they can accomplish far more than a group of individuals working together. Therefore, it is important to choose an effective team building activity for the company.

But what is an effective team building activity?

According to experts in corporate teams, a team building event must be integrated with real work goals. The team building event that you plan should help focus the members of the team on what’s not working and what needs to happen for the team to work together. Also, it is necessary to plan team building activities and events as part of the company’s overall plan for success. It should be an ongoing, annual or semi-annual event. To be meaningful, team building efforts must continue beyond the event day. It is also important to reinforce that behaviour by rewarding it. You can do this by recognizing the teams that are working exceptionally well.

If you think choosing a team building activity that is suitable for your needs is a hard feat, there are companies that can help you plan team building activities that are designed to help your employees and co-workers acquire new skills and learn the importance of working as a team. Hiring a team building facilitator will not only deliver everything you are hoping for, but also make your job easier.

Benefits of Team Building Activities

Behind every successful company, you can always find a good, hardworking and dedicated team. To develop the important characteristics of a good team, it is always beneficial to participate in team building activities.

Team building activities not only develop individual skills and communication, it also strengthens the bond between the members of the team. It always ensures increased productivity, competence and increased profit. Team building activities also improve morality and leadership skills, ability to tackle barriers, clearly defined objectives and goals, and better understanding of processes and procedures. The newly achieved team spirit will not allow the team to be let down. The team members will fight obstacles and challenges as one unit.

Events such as Survivor, The Amazing Race, Corporate Fun Day, Beach Day, SA Mini Olympics and Wacky Wet Weird and Wonderful, are designed to build trust, teamwork and communication skills among your people. All these events can work as a standalone activity or as part of major event, seminar or workshop. They can also be incorporated into a multi-day team building, team training or team development program.

It is important to provide new, exciting and dynamic team building events that your team haven’t experienced before. Team building events must also provide great entertainment. The events must provide realistic experiences that will empower members to contribute to common goals. Team building events should also provide a great opportunity for team members to know each other and establish effective working relationships.

Encouraging Creativity Through Team Building Activities

Encourage your people to be creative. Not only does it exercise the brain, but regular practice or involvement in activities that boost creativity develop skills more than one. Being creative doesn’t only have to be manifested on direct output or product (like a presentation or an article, for example), but also in dealing with challenging situations, finding efficient solutions and managing many different things very much applicable in life at work or outside.

We offer a variety of team building events that promote creativity in the activities and tasks involved. We have a great team building activity called ‘Movie Making’ where teams will be making their own short films or TV commercials which in the end will be judged for your company’s very own Oscars. As teams play the different roles of a film making crew, they will learn how to get all their ideas together creatively to produce a great film. Of course, the film content itself should be a work of creativity too.
