What to Look for When Hiring a Team Building Facilitator

September 27, 2008

When scheduling a team building event for your team, always make sure that you’re working with a quality team building facilitator and company.  But, how do you know what you’re getting if you haven’t worked with the event company before?  Here are some things to look for when interviewing a team building facilitator and/or company to help organise your event.

The facilitator has experience customising events

Hiring a team building facilitator that makes customising events for her/his clients a priority is essential.  No two teams are alike and every team building event should be as unique as each team that participates in them so that each individual will get as much out of the event as possible.

Make sure the price includes everything you’ll need

When working with a facilitator, she/ he should be able to anticipate the needs of the team building activity and be able to make sure that everything you’re going to need is included in the price, and that you are clear on any additional expenditures you’ll need to incur to put on the event.

Ask about alternatives for those that can’t (or won’t) participate

While it is important to encourage all of the staff to participate, there may be someone that either can’t or simply won’t, and there needs to be alternative activities available in case this situation comes up.

Inquire about the facilitator’s experience and ability to accommodate disabled participants

In many offices there are people that will enjoy participating in team building activities but are in need of some type of assistance to do so.  Make sure that the team building facilitator you hire has experience working with and accommodating those who may need additional support.

If you’re interested in organising a team building event, call 1 300 267 738.  We have all these things and more to offer our clients, and we guarantee you’ll be satisfied by any team building event we put on for you!

Q: Can Team Building Events be Fun or Do They Have to Be Technical and Boring?

September 25, 2008

A: Actually, an essential aspect of team building events is that your staff has a fun and enjoyable time.  After all, it’s common knowledge that people learn better and more easily when they’re having fun.

Also, the excitement your team feels about a team building event enables team bonding to occur.  Strong team bonds are based upon positive, shared activities and memories.  If the team building event was uneventful and blah, it would be hard for team members to be able to enhance their relationships through these events.  However, when the event is fun your team members will have the opportunity to see positive qualities and commonalities about each other they hadn’t noticed before, leading to stronger and more solid team bonds.

It is also important for team building events to be fun so that your employees will look forward to continued team development.  Otherwise, the next time you announce a staff development or team building day, you’re going to see a lot of unhappy faces.

If you don’t want to waste your time with boring team building activities and only want to host the most enjoyable and effective events, just call 1 300 267 738; you’re team building event will be guaranteed to be fun and successful!

The Great Australian BBQ Challenge Team Building Activity – Fun, Unique, and Extremely Yummy!

September 23, 2008

The Great Australian BBQ Challenge is a team building activity that offers both a great time and an awesome meal to share at the end; in addition to a wide range of learning experiences.

After being divided up into smaller teams, your staff will be challenged with planning and preparing a themed menu including a gourmet salad, grilled veggies, and a tasty meat dish using the secret ingredient of the day.  And, while all ingredients will be provided, the facilitator will interject some other challenges into the day to make sure your team stays on their toes!

Also, just like at the office, there is a deadline.  Your team must have planned, prepared and presented their BBQ masterpiece on time.  It will then be judged with the others creations and the winner announced.  But the real reward comes when everyone gets to share in all the meals created for one big BBQ!

This team building activity provides great opportunities for improving staff communication, relationships and idea sharing along with frequent opportunities for processing the events with a trained team building facilitator.

If you’d like to arrange to hold The Great Australian BBQ Challenge Team Building Activity anywhere in Australia, just ring 1 300 267 738.

Q: Are Team Building Activities Really That Important?

September 19, 2008

A: Yes!  Now, you could easily say “Oh, of course these guys are going to say yes to that question, team building is their business”; we don’t deny it!  But, if you look at the facts, team building activities really do help the overall performance of your office, your staff’s stress levels and in the end, your bottom line!

Team building activities present opportunities for your staff to get to know each other beyond their role at work and to begin to build meaningful relationships that will follow them all back to the office after the activities are long over.

These relationships are the foundation of successful interactions and seamless production at the office.  When people can work well together this helps to reduce their levels of work stress and thereby improve the general functioning and productivity of your office.

Team building activities also provide staff an opportunity to have fun, while practicing things like communication skills, leadership skills, decision making and even positive ways to handle competition.  Again, these skills then follow your team back to the office and enable them to perform to their highest capabilities.

So really, when you look at all the information, there’s no way you can afford not to offer your team all of the benefits and opportunities that team building activities provide.  Call 1 300 267 738 and we’ll help you organise the perfect event for your team; which will definitely make you a believer in the importance of regular participation in team building activities!

Q: Can Team Building Activities Help to Re-Energise My Team?

September 14, 2008

A:  Team building activities are an excellent way to re-energise any team, and, regular participation in team building activities can keep your team continually energized!

The important piece is selecting the best team building activity for your unique team.  If a team building facilitator fails to grasp what’s going on for your team, the resulting team building activity that is presented won’t be effective, and your team will likely see it as just another thing to sap their already lacking energy.

But, when you’re able to find the right team building company that works closely with you to meet your unique team’s needs, then participating in team building activities will be just what the Dr. ordered to help create a fun and exciting day that will re-energise them and renew the entire office!

You don’t have to look far for team building facilitators that will really take the time to understand your needs and the needs of your staff, just ring 1 300 267 738.  We take pride in the way we serve our clients and the customised team building events we offer that are fun and re-energising for all the teams we work with!

Memorable and Exciting; 2 Must Haves for Team Building Activities

September 9, 2008

If you’re going to hold a team building day you’ve got to have activities and events that are both memorable and exciting.  These qualities will help your team easily remember (and utilize) the skills and ideas learned during the team building activities once back at the office; the ultimate goal of any team building event.

Activities that everyone enjoys also help in the creation of team bonds.  No one is usually able to get to know their co-workers better or create positive shared memories (some of the essentials for creating strong bonds among team members) when they feel stuck, or “bored to tears”  by the activity they’re being forced to participate in.

But, fun and unique team building activities will bring out the best in your staff and help them to create and strengthen relationships as well as practice and utilize skills like communication, decision making, leadership, and so many others.

If you don’t want to waste time on a potentially boring or forgetful team building activity, call 1 300 267 738.  We only hold events staff will rave about for a long time because they were so informative and educational yet so fun and exciting!  Take a look at our Testimonials Page on our website and see for yourself!
