Earlier this week, TeamBonding organized an Operation: Military Care program with a huge group in Texas – 800 people! The group put together care packages to donate to USO Dallas Fort Worth (United Service Organizations) as well as United Through Reading.

The USO was created by Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II with the mission of providing an indispensable service to US troops to give them emotional support during hard times. Over the years, the USO has developed and created new services and programs to provide to troops and their families. Now one of the biggest charities in Dallas, the USO has provided families of soldiers with tokens of happiness and support for years.

TeamBonding coordinated the Operation: Military Care program with the USO chapter in Dallas Fort Worth this week in order to lift the spirits of a group of soldiers and their families. Participants in the program were given various challenges where they could earn tokens in order to buy different products to add to their care packages, such as candy, deodorant, DVDs, frisbees, gum, puzzles, soap, socks, sunblock, toothpaste and lots more.

For this event, childrens’ books were also donated to soldiers in order to participate in United Through Reading – a nonprofit organization that promotes the “read-aloud experience” for military families who are separated overseas. Through this program, deployed parents are given the opportunity to video-record themselves reading storybooks out loud to their children so that they can feel closer to them even when separated. All in all, the event was a HUGE success! We hope to work with the USO Dallas Fort Worth chapter and United Through Reading again in the future.

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.

Managing Gen Z in the Workplace: A Guide From Someone Who Gets It

Let’s talk about Gen Z in the workplace. I’m part of this generation, and I’ve watched my peers enter the workforce over the past few years. Honestly? There’s often a disconnect between what employers think Gen Z workers want and what we actually value.

4 Rules All Cohesive Teams Follow

We’ve all experienced the highs and lows of teamwork. A disconnected group can drain your energy and stall progress, but a team that clicks can accomplish more than anyone thought possible. When people communicate well, support each other, and chase the same goal, they create something powerful. That’s the essence of team cohesion—and it’s the difference between frustration and success.
