Team building activities are the perfect opportunity to get your team to unwind and blow off steam as well as build bonds and bring your team together. Here are just a few ways that team building can add value to your next event.
Networking, Socialising and getting to know each other
Socialising and making friends in the workplace is the best way to increase productivity. Not only does it improve morale, but it helps your team adapt to anything that is now considered to be ‘the new normal’, whether it’s working virtually, in-person or hybrid. Holding a team event can be short and sweet, or it can be a more complex event that everyone has more time to plan for. Virtual Events are one easy way to bring your team members closer together, as it can be accessed by employees working in any location, making it easier for office staff to connect with remote and hybrid workers.
Teamwork and boosting team performance
Team Building activities help to improve workplace projects that involve teamwork, because it helps teams to understand each other better. After a team building activity, employees will know each other’s strengths, weaknesses and interests. This understanding helps them work even better together on future progress vital to a company.

Competition and Bragging Rights
A little competition never hurt anyone. In fact, it’s been shown to increase productivity. By channelling that productivity into a fun, inclusive team building activity can bond in a more effective way than by other methods. Learning to work together can take time, but you’d be surprised at how fast teams can come together when there is an incentive to win on the table.
Show Employees Appreciation
Team building events are just one way to let employees know how appreciated they are for all their hard work. Many times, great work can accidentally be swept under the rug due to a sea of other things going on. Prioritising these events shows employees that you care about them and appreciate their efforts by rewarding them with a fun activity the team can enjoy together.
Building Bridges Across Departments
The connections between employees within one department aren’t the only ones that matter when it comes to building a stronger team. A ‘team’ doesn’t have to be confined to the sales team or the marketing team. Connections should be built through all departments, ask yourself – how well do you know your employees in departments other than your own? If the answer is not very well or not at all, then team building will surely bring departments together in a way that will benefit your organisation as a whole.
