Looking for something to give that office of yours an injection of adrenaline and enthusiasm? Tired of the old ‘Paintballing, Go-Karting and Pub’ scenario? Thinking that these events usually end up a futile exercise with no tangeable results? Read on……and we’ll tell you what the benefits of any team building day are and why it can be worth investing in.
Team Bonding
Ok, so it’s time off and you’re going to have to foot the bill. Well, this is certainly a negative but if you can overlook this small issue you will see that the benefits far outweigh the negatives. These team building events can help integrate new members of a team or aid the amalgamation of several teams in a fun and entertaining way. You can finally rid your office of the tug-of-war over roles and responsibilities through working together to a common goal.
That Hidden Gem
Being away from the normal environment and in a new situation can highlight a potential hidden gem in your office. It allows your staff to shine and show skills they may never have the chance to share with you in the course of their normal working day. Why not put quiet Jenny from reception as team lead and see how she fares!?
Remember when..?
The most obvious gain from a team building day is that your team have a shared experience, something they can remember and talk about for weeks to come. It’s far more beneficial than a trip to the pub and although there may be a few embarrassing moments, no one’s going to be getting up to mischief around the photocopier and regretting it later! Photo’s, records and reports of the day displayed on the noticeboards will encourage the team to bond further and reminisce over what a fantastic day it was. It shows everyone that the ‘bosses’ care about their well being, boosts morale and, ultimately, makes for a happy & productive working environment.
A Unique Choice
So why not consider something a little bit different to get your staff motivated and interacting?
In today’s ‘Big Brother’ society of CCTV every few paces and bosses watching employees computer use you would be forgiven for thinking that there’s just too much spying going on in the world today. Well hold it right there! What if you were able to give your employees the chance to partake in a little spying of their own?
Enter Spymasters! (or should that be sneak in and plant a listening device without anyone seeing you Spymasters! Boom Boom!)
Anyway, enough of my dire attempts at humour. Spymasters is a unique team building event company based in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the only company to offer real life espionage & surveillance scenarios designed, developed and demonstrated by former police and military surveillance trainers. Spymasters’ staff have trained both military and law enforcement agencies across the UK and throughout the world. You just can’t get any more authentic than that, if you are going to learn, you may as well learn from the best!
So what are you waiting for? Get your team working together and start reaping the benefits!
