Is a Team Building Event Necessary? Top 6 Reasons You Need Team Building at Your Next Corporate Meeting
By Shaylee Beck Moore
Cheeriodicals has been in the corporate team building world for more than a decade and our event managers have certainly heard it all. However, when our potential clients are faced with difficult decisions on budgets and timing, one question that hangs in the air is if a team building activity is absolutely necessary at their meeting. The fact is, we can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be!
The purpose of a corporate team building exercise is to strengthen communication between teammates, build trust, and ultimately form a camaraderie amongst peers. At Cheeriodicals our events do all of these things; however, we have an additional layer – giving back to the local community. All of these aspects combined lead to a boost in employee morale, motivation, and ultimately a happier workplace.
Here are our Top 6 reasons why you must include a team building event at your next corporate meeting.
1. Team Building Actually Does Work (If You Do It Correctly)
A team building activity is designed to connect coworkers and ultimately bond the team – if you do it correctly. For team building to actually work, you need your activity to not only be well structured, but also appealing enough that your whole group will want to participate.
Our Cheeriodicals events are fun and engaging, and designed in a way that the whole team needs to work together to complete the task at hand. The best part is – all throughout our event experiences we hear coworkers laughing, we see people sharing, and we watch as groups communicate and problem solve together.
The end result? Teams are truly bonding over a positive and heartwarming experience.The win-win is that your employees will actually want to fully engage in our team building event! But don’t take our word for it. Read testimonies from a few of our past event clients here.
2. Team Building Strengthens Corporate Culture
It is indisputable that companies with a solid work culture have happier employees, which in turn leads to increased efficiency, new ideas, and employee retention. But how do you enhance your company culture?
Giving back to the community has become an important value that employees are seeking in a company’s workplace culture, especially when searching for a new job. Our Cheeriodicals team building events are focused on not just connecting your team, but also helping your company make a meaningful impact for people in need in local communities nationwide.
Employees love working for a company that allows them to have an outlet to serve the community. Our events not only give back, but your team will feel good about their active role in that impact too!
3. Team Building Improves Employee Morale
Employee morale is the backbone of a healthy and happy company. Team building events are a great way to build and nurture morale as well as contribute towards an overall positive workplace environment.
Successful team building events are designed to unite coworkers while helping employees feel integrated in their team. When working with Cheeriodicals, we help plan a heartfelt giveback that is easy for everyone to participate in, yet ambitious enough that all the teammates feel the need to be involved.
This feeling of togetherness and an overall positive workplace atmosphere will certainly boost employee morale.
4. Team Building Activities Can Actually Be Fun
Team building can actually be fun for the whole team!
If you are reading this article, you may be the person tasked with planning a group activity for your next corporate meeting. You of course want to make it fun but also an activity that everyone wants to participate in as it unfolds. Oftentimes, companies will opt for a cocktail party or another general group outing as a safe option, but are these really the best use of your funds? And, most importantly, are these more common options helping you accomplish your goal of connecting your team in a memorable way?
At Cheeriodicals, we put an emphasis on our events being a life-changing experience. Our events are high energy, fun, and interactive – all the aspects that make a group event unforgettable and exciting. And to top it off, participants feel amazing afterwards knowing that the work they just completed is helping someone in need of a lift in spirits the most.
We have elevated the idea of “team building” from being an awkward or forced activity into being a truly entertaining and momentous experience for everyone on your team.
