Many of us have participated in team building activities in our workplace, and yes, they can be great fun – but do they add any value?
The reality is that there is much more to team building activities than just fun.
Team building recreates our natural responses and behaviours in an accelerated, yet fun environment.
Whilst we break down the silos and join in we put job titles behind us and our natural tendencies begin to shine.
Many of us may be shocked at the behaviours that are demonstrated, and if the facilitator of the team building activity has solid experience they will assist you in opening your eyes to the natural behaviours that will be occurring in the workplace on a regular basis.
The accelerated nature of team building activities, when used well, assists companies identify cultural or environment behaviours that are impacting on the organisations results – good or bad.
Why not add a little fun to your work and conduct team building activities to not only improve workplace culture and motivation but to also address behavioural issues that can be refined to improve company results.
