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.

Corporate Survivor Team Building Event Idea

If you are looking for an excellent team building event for your office staff in Brisbane, or even for your next conference, Corporate Survivor could be it! If you’ve seen Survivor on TV you can get the basic idea for this event, however, instead of individuals within the team “surviving” it is the whole team’s survival that matters!

Once everyone has arrived to this team building event in Brisbane, they are broken up into tribes, and given colored bandanas (to denote tribe membership of course!). Then, the tribe will create a name for itself. After all these formalities, the tribes are off on the first Tribal Challenge.

Some of the options for Tribal Challenges include Water Transfer, in which tribes compete to see who can get the most water from the well into their water tub, using a leaky bucket! Or Red Adair where tribes compete to extinguish an oil fire that threatens their food stores; the twist is, the tribe is only given a rope, a hook and a few simple instructions. Then there is the Riddler! Tribes must answer a series of general knowledge questions, and if they get them correct, each tribe member is permitted the opportunity to pop an “immunity balloon” of a member of another tribe, who got the answer wrong.

All of the different tribal challenges of the Corporate Survival team building event are made to bring out the best of your staff. The tribal challenges are fun, yet also designed to provide opportunities for your staff to practice decision making skills, creativity, unity, and communication skills. With this unique team building event, you may even have the opportunity to learn something new about your staff members!

The winner of this team building event is determined by how many immunity balloons each team has, and of course the team with the highest amount wins! Turning Survivor into more of a team sport, has made us able to offer a unique team building event that will surely help your staff reach its goals, as well as become a more cohesive team.

If you are ready to arrange the Corporate Survival Team Building Event for your next team building day or conference in Brisbane, ring 1 300 267 738, and we’ll be happy to work with you to create the bests team building event for your specific needs!

Team building has become one of the newest buzz words!

Team building has become one of the newest buzz words in the corporate lexicon. In fact, for at least the last decade surveys of business leaders in every industry have shown that the prime characteristic they look for in new hires is the ability to work with a team. And why not? Research has shown that when people work in teams, they can accomplish far more than a group of individuals working together. But not all team building activities are created equal. Over the last few years, some industry experts have leveled criticism at the ‘quick-fix’ attitude that has been adopted by many companies who attempt to create or sponsor their own team building activities.

In order to be effective, say experts in corporate teams, a team building event must:

• Be integrated with real work goals.
  • It’s not enough to plan a fun day of activities for your team. The team building event that you plan should help focus the members of the team on what’s not working and what needs to happen for the team to work together.
• Be part of an overall company goal.
  • Plan team building activities and events as part of the company’s overall plan for success. That means more than just a one off event to go buggy riding. Team building events should be an ongoing, annual or semi-annual event.
• Be planned by a team.
  • After all, the goal is to promote teamwork. The planning team should model the behavior that you expect it to promote.
• Be followed up with real work integration.
  • A one off event that has no follow up in the work world will be seen as a holiday at best – and a cynical attempt at manipulation at worst. To be meaningful, team building efforts must continue beyond the event day.
• Be reinforced by rewarding teamwork and team behavior.
  • Once you have a team that’s working as a team, you need to reinforce that behavior by rewarding it. Recognition of teams that are working exceptionally well, specialcorporate events to mark team accomplishments and notice in the company newsletter are all ways to reinforce and reward teamwork within your company.

If planning an event that will do all that seems daunting, keep in mind that there are companies who make this their business. A corporate events planner can offer your company custom team building activities that are designed to help your employees and coworkers focus on the importance of working together as a team by providing focused activities that require each participant to work as part of a team. Don’t just hire on a company to throw a do for your organization. Seek out a real professional with experience and expertise in building exercises that build teams.

Amazing Race Around Sydney Team Building Activity

The race is on… Split into teams with each team making their way around Sydney. Equipped with maps, clues and some extra props, team members need to find their way to specific sites.

Travelling to each spot can take any form with some routes requiring specified transport like a water taxi, Harley Motorcycle or by foot for example. At each stop they will have a task to do… whilst the greatest challenge remains in working out the destinations to head to, by figuring out the clues and hints to their final finishing destination.

Like the TV show, The Amazing Race, the winning team is the first over the line after completing all of the tasks.

It all starts at a designated location, where the teams are briefed, given all equipment and their first task – to find your first mode of transport. A series of cryptic questions and clues lead each group to their next step on a scenic and fun trip around Sydney.

This may involve catching the monorail or water taxis to meet a FUN challenge, following clues through the Royal Botanic Gardens along the edge of Sydney Harbour or even hiding behind bushes to catch the Kodak moment of the day to win the most points! Before they begin, they need to work out an entertaining team name! Then they are off!

Throughout this fabulous day, they will be given vouchers to present to receive in return for some goodies, they may be edible, require action or be a clue to the next spot! Directed with hints, the transport modes and roads will be left to their interpretation. However there will be a help line for dire strait situations…it will cost them points though!

On completion of the day, they will be led back to the final spot for a debrief. Here, times will be recorded and tallied. At the group’s lunch or dinner, they can sit and relax over a drink whilst the presentation of the winners is made. This is also when the photos taken during the day will be displayed. This is a great afternoon full of challenges, FUN, games and surprises.
