Team Building Events Tip: Good Isn’t Good Enough

The key to turning your good team building events into a great one is giving up the dirt.

Your facilitator is a professional and can make adjustments during the event as they learn more about your team.  But it doesn’t it make sense to give them a head start?

Providing your facilitator with key information about your group can help them better prepare to engage your staff, focus on your goals and make the content of your Team Building events more focused and relevant to your organization.

Before team building events, let your facilitator know:

  • If your team has individuals with special needs or physical limitations
  • If there will be “important people” attending the event
  • Of any new programs that have recently been launched in the organization
  • The general personality of the group and length of time they have been together
  • The expected excitement level (or lack thereof) you anticipate

How to Manage Distributed Teams for Stronger Connection and Engagement

When I first started planning virtual programs at TeamBonding, “distributed teams” wasn’t the buzzword it is today. Companies occasionally hired remotely, but it wasn’t standard practice.

The Best Corporate Events to Bring Teams Together

I’ve been creating team building events for decades, and I can tell you this: the right corporate event ideas can completely transform the way a team feels about work—and about each other. I’ve seen a simple scavenger hunt spark friendships that lasted for years, and a charity bike build bring out leadership skills in people who didn’t even realize they had them.

How to Build a Psychologically Safe Workplace

I’ve been in countless meeting rooms where you could feel the tension. You know the kind—where everyone stares down at their notepads instead of speaking up, where great ideas die before they even hit the air. That’s the absence of psychological safety at work.
