| Despite the outward-bound image of team building, the list of options is truly huge. From assault courses and driving events, to cooking challenges or mock diamond heists, there is something for every group.
Getting your team motivated and ready to tackle the pressures of work can be a tough challenge. Look at any successful football or rugby team and you often have a group of players from a variety of backgrounds, all who possess a bundle of individual talents. Utilising those unique individual skills and creating a winning team can be difficult, but thankfully there are a number of tools out on the market today that mean team bonding, team strategy and team development can be improved.
Team building events can also have another purpose – for rewarding and recognising staff for all their hard efforts throughout the working year. Rather than using cash incentives, teambuilding days can work just as successfully as a thank you. Justine Clement, managing director of event specialist Unmissable, says: “All employees want to feel valued and part of a team and team building works as a way of doing this; this in turn builds staff morale and staff retention.”
