Offering team building expertise since 1978
Enjoyable and effective team building events involving everyone in the
team
OUR team building teamdays are a
great way to build your team, creating strong team spirit and enhancing
effectiveness by fostering good relationships and highlighting interpersonal
skills in a relaxed and informal setting.
All our team building events are designed in such a way that they
involve every member of the team, no matter what their level of fitness
or ability.
Team building
teamdays work with both new and existing teams, and are particularly powerful
when run for teams representing a vertical slice through a business. With fledgling teams, these team building
events will shorten the team building process by many weeks, accelerating
efficiency to allow peak performance at a far earlier stage than would
otherwise be the case.
Each
team building teamday is a unique event put together specifically for the
client, and all our programmes can be used to reflect specific needs or desired
outcomes. This is possible because the
core framework of each team building event is extremely flexible, enabling us
to include tasks which reflect those issues most relevant to the participating
team. For example, we can keep the team
together throughout the event, or we can include tasks in which the team
divides into project groups. We can also
make the team building event competitive, or can ensure that success will only
be achieved through cooperation. Virtually
any issue can be mimicked; indeed, every team building teamday is a journey of
discovery reflecting the team’s needs and the major issues back at work.
This flexibility extends to the
range of activities on offer. Although the
precise nature of the team building activities will be determined largely by the
location, we can provide everything from enjoyable adventurous activities
designed to create strong bonds, to more cerebral tasks designed to enhance core
skills such as communication, problem solving, and creativity. By including this wide mix of team building
tasks, we are able to involve everyone in the team. Those people who wish to strike out and do
something physical will find plenty to keep them occupied, whilst those who are
less adventurous (or less fit) are kept involved through more cerebral but no less
important team building tasks.
These
events are great fun, and people are usually in high spirits after their
efforts, so we deliberately keep the optional final evaluation short so as not
to detract from the essential enjoyment of the day. This optional evaluation is most usually facilitated
through our short “Focus Questionnaire” which gets individual team members not
only to focus on the teamwork lessons, but also to relate their experiences
back to the workplace. We collate the
responses to this questionnaire and send the results back to the team a few
days after the event in order to maintain the momentum.
In order
to derive the maximum benefit from their team building teamday, many clients
ask us to run an evaluation workshop within a few weeks of the team building
event. These workshops are designed to
highlight issues, reinforce learning and maintain momentum, adding value by linking
the day’s experiences back to the real world of the workplace. These evaluations are most effective when run
at your site or at a convenient venue local to you.
We
run our team building teamdays from a wide variety of venues throughout
If we do not
have a team building venue near you…
we would be delighted to research a suitable area within an acceptable
travelling distance
and design a team building event specifically for you!
