6 Reasons Why Team Building Is An Integral Part Of Your Business’s Success
97% of executives attribute team alignment to the outcome of a given task or project (Clear Company). Team building is about making sure that outcome is positive. It’s about enforcing skills that help businesses grow. Skills like communication, planning, problem solving and conflict resolution are key to a team’s success. Organizing team building activities for your team has been proven to improve engagement. Recent statistics show that companies with engaged employees earn up to 2.5 times more than companies whose employees have a low engagement level (Total Team Building). Organizing an activity for your whole team is a sure fire way to improve how you work together.
Here are 6 reasons why team building will help your business succeed:
- Communication: Everybody wants a friendly work environment, where people are comfortable and happy to talk to and work with anyone. Communication is the foundation of any relationship; especially relationships among colleagues. Bringing your team to somewhere like Snakes & Lattes is a great way to encourage communication.
2. Creativity: People tend to have a larger imagination when they are around people they are comfortable with. So, successful team building events not only bring people closer together but they also lead to more successful and creative workplace ideas. Bringing your team to somewhere like LevelUp Reality is a great way to spark creativity.
3. Motivation: After any sports team wins a major championship, they celebrate and have fun. This motivates them to want to win even more. This extreme example shows that the celebration, cheering, and fun that come with every team building event can motivate employees to bring their job to the next level. Bringing your team to something like Rec Room is a great way to celebrate and motivate.
4. Fueling Friendly Competition: Competition has been shown to increase production. So, by channeling that increased production into a fun, inclusive team building activity, employees can bond in a way impossible by other means. Bringing your team somewhere like The Ballroom Bowl is a great way to enforce a healthy competitive environment.
5. Teamwork: Team bonding activities also improve workplace projects that involve teamwork. After completing team building activities together, employees better understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and interests. This understanding helps them work better together on future progress vital to a company. Engaging your team with something like Mysteriously Yours is sure to help build a strong culture of collaboration.
6. Networking: Socializing and making friends in the workplace is one of the best ways to increase productivity in the office. Not only does it increase morale in the office, it also allows for the office to work better solving everyday workplace issues. Bringing your team on a Mariposa Cruise is a great way to encourage relationship building
