Team Building Activities that Won’t Have Them Rolling Their Eyes

Team building activities are meant to be a way of getting your employees to work together, skills that they then will hopefully transfer to the workplace. Sometimes they will seem pretty pointless to the staff taking part, and you should really be looking for team building activities that they will enjoy. They are more likely to work together if they are having fun and getting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses in this way can have big advantages for your business.   Camping Camping can be a great way to build team spirit that will make your business so much better each day. Apart from pitching the tents and cooking their meals together, singing and chatting around the campfire can be something they will all remember. Most times, this would be at an official campsite that would have other activities available as well. Often things like bike riding, hiking and kayaking are on offer at these centres, as well as evening entertainment for those that want it.   Adventures If adventure is what you think they might like to take part in, head for one of the best outdoor activity centres you can find. There is a whole host of team activities they can get involved in such as white water rafting, canoeing, kayaking, bike riding, and river boarding to mention just a few. If they have never done anything like it before that can be even more fun as they learn together. There are instructors and courses available to help them.   Treasure Hunts Treasure hunts can be a brilliant team building activity. They have to work together to solve the clues to find the treasure, just like they need to work together in the workplace to solve problems. From being dropped in a remote location and having to find the way back to civilisation to trying to find the Holy Grail with the help of the Da Vinci Code there is a huge variety of treasure hunts to choose from. Treasure hunts can show which people have the most logical minds, a skill which the others can turn to if they need help while at work.   Indoor Games There is no end of indoor games that can be used for team building and many employers find it is beneficial for the staff to take an hour out of work to take part. There are drawing games, truth and lies games, blindfold games and many others. A quick look online and you will soon have more indoor games than you need.   Stressing the Importance Of Team Building As a collective term for any activities that enhance the interaction between members of the workforce, team building can help to identify the roles each member of staff is best at. It will often show which ones are leaders and who prefers to follow. Nothing is wrong with either of them, but knowing which team member is which can make your workforce more efficient. Over the past few years, the importance of team building has been recognised by many more employers and now is used in businesses of all sizes to help their business.  ]]>
