Team building, training and more
Is your organisation dealing with the challenges of two years of remote and hybrid working? You’re not alone. For many organisations, they have team members who have never met in person! While we think hybrid working has a lot of benefits and is here to stay, there’s still something about in-person team days that is difficult to replace online. The power of face-to-face events remains strong for team building, strategy planning, and learning and development programs. As workplaces adapt to the new normal of hybrid work and distributed teams, it’s more important than ever to carve out dedicated time to bring your people together.
Choose your team building adventure
Working remotely has lots of benefits. Flexibility is a big one, and productivity can be just as high – or even higher – for some people. But the ability to form strong team relationships is challenging via digital platforms. That’s not to say that it can’t be done (and we can work with you to deliver cutting-edge virtual team building events). But, there’s something special about bringing people together face-to-face to reinforce your team culture and strengthen interpersonal bonds. This is especially true for people who may not work together on a day-to-day basis within your organisation. Team building can take many different forms depending on your goals. For some businesses, it’s just about getting together and having fun – connecting as individuals, having a laugh and doing a purely social activity. Think group sports, food and beverage experiences, or art sessions. In other organisations, team building can be designed to overcome a particular challenge your people face. Not only do networking games offer a fun-filled way to unify people, but they also teach practical problem-solving and communication. Team building activities can also challenge your staff to step out of their comfort zone.
New era, new skills
As well as bringing your team together to have fun, build new relationships and collaborate, it’s essential to make sure your investment in learning and development is prioritised. This is especially true if shifts to remote and hybrid work have led to new processes or changes in how you service your customers, for example. Whether training people on new software in our dedicated computer labs or seminars on changes to your products and services (either in-person, virtually or in a hybrid delivery), our event specialists can work with you to design the perfect staff development day. You can also combine learning and fun on the same day – think training in the morning, followed by a team building challenge in the afternoon before sitting down to eat together (paired with a glass of wine or two). For outdoor events, we can help you to coordinate and plan physical challenges like a Corporate “Amazing Race”, “Murder Mystery Race” or Spy Race. If you’d prefer to keep it indoors, you can opt for a Quiz, Game Show or Brick Masters event. Whatever you choose, you can be assured of an event that’s slick, professional and well researched, with a prepared team building event that will help you achieve your goals.
Are you ready to plan your next team day?
No matter what changes the workplace may face, one thing remains unchanged – people remain the most important asset for your organisation. Investing in your people through team building and training is a critical success factor, as is keeping them informed of corporate strategy and other significant initiatives through events like town halls, regular update meetings, and team planning days. We can work with you to find the best delivery option for your goals with a range of options for both face-to-face and virtual team building events. Whether you want your team to reconnect in a fun and unexpected way, or you need a serious day of strategising and collaboration to plan your next move; we’ve got the right spaces and team to support you.
