Let Your Team Explore Their Creative Side During This Fun, Outcome Based Team Building Activity

August 26, 2008

A Short Film Festival teambuilding activity presents a really unique opportunity for your staff to explore skills like creativity, teamwork, communication, leadership, time management and presentation, all by making a short film together.

To start this team building activity, everyone is given a crash course in lighting, audio, sound effects, makeup, etc and then, they’re split into teams and sent off to make their masterpiece. But, they’ll have to be creative, work together and work hard if they’re going to win the “Oscar”.

This team building activity has the added advantage of being easily customiseable for your unique needs. You can have your staff focus their films on a new product you’re getting ready to launch, the main theme of your conference, or, give them free reign to explore whatever they want.

You’ll be amazed at the creations your team comes up with, and they’ll be wowed by not only their own creative experience, but that of their fellow teams as well.

Give us a call at 1 300 267 738. We’ll help you turn A Short Film Festival into the perfect team building activity that will engage your staff while helping them gain new team building skills at the same time!

If you’ve ever attempted to organize team building exercises or a team building activity day for your staff only for it to end up being a boring flop, don’t worry, your not alone.

Many businesses think that its easy to develop and organize team building activities for their staff, yet when the events actually take place, their team members aren’t inspired, don’t learn much and talk only about hoping they don’t have to endure one of those team building activity days again any time soon.

But, team building activities can be very successful, and when they are, they can leave your staff functioning at a higher level and with increased productivity when they return to the office. Many corporations have learned that the way to create successful team building exercises is to get some help from the experts.

Hiring an experienced team building company to develop, arrange, and facilitate your next team building activity day or conference exercises is a great way to make sure your team has a memorable time and that they learn the team building skills needed.

While it may seem that you might end up spending more money by hiring an outside company to organise and facilitate your team building activity, in the end with all the time you save as well as the quality and proven success of the team building exercises arranged, you’ll probably actually spend less money!

Q: Should I hold separate team building activities for my executive team?

July 11, 2008

A: Holding separate team building activities for your executive team, while not required, is definitely a benefit. In many ways, they are a separate team from your general staff, and as such, scheduling team building events for just your executive team can be a great way to help them help the rest of the staff.

Providing time for your executive staff to get to know each other better, and work on team building skills will also help them to feel a sense of support and unity; which is essential for your executive team to function in a healthy way.

There is a lot of stress on your executive team. They fill the roles of both employee and boss, and therefore hold a unique position in the company. Holding special team building activities for your executive team is a way to help them build relationships among themselves and create a more cohesive support system and decision making body.

If you want to schedule a team building day for your executive team, just ring 1 300 267 738. We can help you select the perfect team building activities to design an event just for your executive team. One that can address any particular needs they have, as well as create space for your executive team to have fun, and enjoy themselves.

Mission Impossible 4 – A Team Building Activity Straight from the Movies!

July 6, 2008

Mission Impossible 4 is an exciting team building activity that will have your team working together to find and open a briefcase, located somewhere in your local area.

This team building activity is designed to be a surprise. An “operative” will unexpectedly come into your conference room and immediately organize everyone into teams while only briefly informing them about their mission.

Then, they will be taken away by speedboat, Hummer, Harley Davidson or other form of transport. During the transport time each team will be given a packet containing clues, maps, food, and water. Your team must now work together, using the clues provided, to get around town. As they go they will complete tasks and challenges that will get them information to help open the briefcase after it’s found.

Once one team finds the briefcase, they must return it to MI4 headquarters so it can be cracked. They will get to use all the clues they collected to attempt to open the case first, but if the team that brings the case back fails, then the team who returns 2nd gets a chance. It keeps going like this until someone cracks the case and wins the event.

You can design this team building activity to suit all of your needs by creating challenges and activities that will help to meet your team building goals and objectives. You can also select where the team is sent by the clues and what mode of transport they will use to get there. From kayaks, to limos it’s all possible with this team building activity.

If you want to organize Mission Impossible 4 as your next team building activity, ring 1 300 267 738; we’ll help you plan every detail so this is a successful and fun team building activity..

The Advantages of Team Building Activities for a New Team

June 17, 2008

When you need to create a new team, planning some team building activities can be a great way to begin. Team building activities can help build feelings of unity and empathy through shared experiences among your team members. These are some of the most important ingredients of a successful team, and are often not present in new teams. You can provide your team with opportunities to bond and create shared memories through holding team building activities.

When teams participate in team building activities, even teams with many years together learn new things about each other, it’s no wonder they are so helpful for new teams. When team members have the opportunity to get to know each other in the fun, relaxed environment that is created through team building activities, they can begin to relax with each other at the office as well. Communication will increase, competitive behaviors will decrease and your team will be able to begin working together in an even more productive way.

Team building activities also support new teams in testing out their decision making skills, their ability to utilize each member’s strengths and weaknesses, and to learn how to effectively communicate with each other.

If your new team needs a bit of a boost to get things going, or your just wanting to make a team building activity part of your new team’s orientation, ring 1 300 267 738. We’ll provide everything from set up to clean up and you and your team need only worry about having a good time together!

Meet Employee Needs with Team Building Activities

June 10, 2008

Team building activities aren’t just for meeting the goals and objectives that the office has set forth, team building activities also work to meet the complex needs of your employees.

Each employee is an individual, an individual with ideas and relationships aside from that of his or her position and job description at work.  But, there aren’t that many opportunities in an office environment for you or you staff to lean these things about each other.  Team building activities allow these other sides of your employees to shine through, and, they give everyone an opportunity to create relationships with each other in a new way by discovering their common interests and views outside of work.

Team Building activities also serve to create shared experiences outside the office.  An essential part of any successful team is a sense of unity.  Having the opportunity to participate in team building activities creates the space for feelings of unity to be created among your team members.  Your employees are given the opportunity to share in something together that is not based upon paper, or clients, but instead, upon exciting challenges, and fun games.

These aspects of team building activities support the development of successful teams and in turn, successful businesses.  Supporting your employee’s social needs filters through to then meet many other needs of the office including productivity, clear communication, and the morale of the office as a whole.

If your ready for your team to function more cohesively by helping them build bonds among each other, just call 1 300 237 738.  We’ll help you to create the perfect team building event with team building activities that will make sure your employees have fun, and get to know each other in new and positive ways!

Make your Next Team Building Activity a Success – Work with an Experienced Company that Offers Unique Events

June 5, 2008

There are several different ways to meet your team building goals and objectives.  You could put on an event yourself, create an office team to do it, or you can hire a company to organise a team building activity for you.  While it may seem easier to just do it yourself, or even just to keep everything “in house”,  hiring a company that specialises in the organisation of team building activities and events will likely save you time and money

If you do choose to work with a company to arrange your next team building activity or staff training day, make sure you hire a company with experience.  If the company doesn’t have a proven track record of creating successful team building activities, then the results may be a lot different than you were hoping for. 

The other aspect of team building activity organisation that can’t be over looked is the team building activities themselves.  Team building activities that are boring, or have been done time and again, will create an environment in which your team will not be focused and will likely end up dreading the next conference or training day you put on. 

However, with the right team building activity, your staff will be talking about the event for weeks to come.   Not to mention the fact that they will be excited about the new skills they learned, and be interested in putting them into practice, while recalling the exciting memories of the unique team building activities they participated in.

A company that has both of these things, a proven track record and interesting events that promote team building skills, truly has what it takes to organise a team building activity.  They can meet all of your team building goals and objectives, while making it easy for staff as well as exciting and educational. 

Now, of course you can still do it yourself, or hire any old team building company, but if you want to make your next conference or staff training day a successful event that meets staff needs as well as keeps the event fun and interesting, ring Sports Corp Elite at 1 300 267 738. 

We have over 50 years of combined team building event experience, and, some of the best team building activities around including The Amazing Race, Jungle Drums and Corporate Hijack.  There’s no reason to waste company time or money on anything else when Sports Corp Elite is available to meet all your team building needs!

May 29, 2008

Test your employee’s solidarity, creativity and ability to make quick decisions with Our Restaurant Rules Team Building Activity. We start in Sydney at a resort where we’ll hold a briefing session with the teams and then, they are given a budget and they’ve got to figure the rest out together.

This team building activity is broken up into different segments, and in between each segment the facilitator will talk with the team, encourage opinions and open discussions in an effort to build upon the strengths the team is exhibiting and assist with overcoming the weaknesses.

During this team building activity in Sydney, the teams must work closely together to make the restaurant happen, and they are only given limited resources, lots of obstacles, and very little time in which to do so!
