How a Corporate Scavenger Hunt Builds Team Unity!
Posted: Jun 08, 2014
Builds camaraderie – In our high-tech world, it’s difficult to build relationships with our colleagues when they sit behind cubicle walls texting, emailing and phoning one another. The benefit of a team building event is that it gets people to interact face-to-face and in the words of Plato, "You can learn more about a person in an hour of play than you do in a year of conversation."
Strengthens relationships – Leadership knows the importance of mingling with clients on a social basis. It allows for connections to be made, which is important because people do business with people they like. The same is true in your office as well. People want to work with (and will work harder for) people they like. Seeing as the average cost of replacing an employee is 20% of the person’s annual salary, hosting team building events that allow your colleagues to network is a small price to pay.
Reinforces essential skills – They’re called team building events because they require people to work together as a team. Teammates must collaborate, communicate, solve problems and use creative thinking if they’re going to succeed in their challenges. When the team building event is over, it’s way less threatening for colleagues to talk about the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat when they are referring to a game. But, the connections that are made during the game translate into their day-to-day experiences in the office.
Reenergizes – The same that holds true for coffee holds true for work – you need to perk up the daily grind if you want energizing results. Studies show that when the brain becomes tired, it works less, which can lead to mistakes and low work quality. So, inject a jolt – not with caffeine, but with a team building event – into your next meeting or training session!
What are the benefits of hiring a professional team building company? Can’t we just do it ourselves?
Of course you can! If you’re not a CPA, you can do your own taxes too. But, it will probably take longer, be more frustrating and you may not get the high returns an expert could get for you! Our professionals have college degrees in recreation, marketing, and event management and have worked in the events industry for years. We know from producing team building events on a daily basis what will work, what won’t work and how to change things on the fly if the circumstances warrant. If you are looking for a 10-minute activity for your team to participate in before your staff meeting, there are many resources online to help you with that. However, if you are looking for a memorable event, then the benefits of hiring a professional team building company are many.
