Team Building Activities to Help Build Positive Group Relationships

If you have a team who is struggling with their interpersonal relationships, this will create stress for the employees directly involved, as well as the team as a whole.   Of course there are a myriad of reasons 2 (or more) people can’t get along easily, but there is one solution that will work to get everyone back on track again; team building activities.

Regular participation in team building activities can help provide people with an opportunity to share positive experiences together in a new environment, where everyone gets to show a different side of themselves.

This, in turn, will help teams to find new commonalities among the group members and most likely, a good reason to re-evaluate their problems or negative opinions of their co-workers, thereby improving the relationships among group members and the functioning of the whole group.

While team building activities can help fix already problematic group relationships, they can also prevent negative group dynamics from occurring in the first place.  You can’t lose!

What to Look for When Hiring a Team Building Facilitator

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!

Memorable and Exciting; 2 Must Haves for Team Building Activities

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!

Q: How can I select the best possible team building facilitator to organise my event?

A: There are several things to look for before selecting a team building facilitator to assist you in putting together your team building event.

First, you want a facilitator with a high level of experience. Don’t settle for someone that’s only got a few team building events under their belt. The team building facilitator is a key player in organising any successful team building event, and you only want to hire someone with a wide range of experience.

Second, only hire a team building facilitator that is willing to build a relationship with you in an effort to organise the exact team building event your staff needs. You are the one who knows your team the best, and a team building facilitator of any quality will utilize you for the resource you are.

And third, try to find a team building facilitator that can offer you a variety of team building activities to choose from preferably ones that are easily malleable to suit any team. This will help ensure that your unique team will be participating in a unique team building event that was created just with them in mind.

If you find a team building facilitator with these main qualities, you’ll be able to rest assured that you can trust your team building event in their capable hands! To talk with a team building facilitator that fits all of these qualities and more, just call 1 300 267 738!

When Choosing a Team Building Facilitator, Make Sure to Choose Someone That Will Be Personally Involved From Start to Finish

When you’re creating a team building event, selecting a facilitator that is involved on a one on one basis is essential. If your team building facilitator doesn’t communicate with you directly, all the time, she/he won’t have a true understanding of what you and your team require.

When team building facilitators don’t understand what goals and objectives you’re trying to meet, what type of team you have, the problems you’re trying to work on, etc, unfortunately, your team building event will likely be far less than what you were expecting, and worse, your team will probably not find much benefit in the activities.

But, when you work with a company that provides one on one communication with the same team building facilitator throughout the event organisation process, your team building activities will far surpass your expectations!

The Amazing Race Around Perth; The TV Show Turned Into a Team Building Activity Right Here in Perth!

The Amazing Race Around Perth is a great option for a team building activity. Just like the TV show, your staff will need to work in teams to get to each required checkpoint and complete all the challenges along the way.

This team building event will begin with a pre race facilitation session in which each team member is asked to think about their individual hurdles to effective communication. Since communication is an essential part of The Amazing Race Around Perth (and smooth team functioning at the office), each staff member will need to make a commitment to work on their communication skills and overcome their self identified hurdles.

The race will begin at a pre-determined location in Perth. Once there and ready to go each team will be given a fun brainteaser. This will serve to challenge them but to also stagger their start time! They’ll also be given their resource kit containing things like a map, travel vouchers, cash, directions and the rules for the day.

The first step in this team building activity is catching the bus to Barrack St. where each team will scramble to the ferry dock in search of a facilitator who will give them the first clue. When they get their clue envelope, they’ll receive instructions, directions and a team challenge. Successfully completing a team challenge will give your team the opportunity to earn more cash so they can take faster modes of transportation!

Next, they’ll head somewhere in South Perth where they’ll be required to get their picture taken, as a group, with an American tourist! Once they do this, they’ll be given another clue envelope.

Following the directions in the next clue envelope, your team will be led to different check points on their way to Kings Park via the Narrows Interchange parkland by climbing up Jacob’s Ladder. At each checkpoint the teams will be required to collect certain items or information to show they were there.

As they keep going on this team building activity, they’ll continue to be challenged with brainteasers as well as with how to find their way to other locations such as the Ore Obelisk and a famous hotel. To make sure everyone is safe, they’ll be given a number to call if they get lost, can’t find transport, etc; but they’ll also receive a time penalty at the end of the race.

This is a really excellent team building activity, and a very popular one too! If you’d like to explore holding The Amazing Race Around Perth for your staff, just call 1 300 267 738. Your team will be talking about this event for months to come, and in addition to having a great time together, they’ll learn a lot too!
