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!
