We love team building training programmes. They are so high on energy, that they can raise the spirits of even someone who is feeling low.
Having been a part of so many team building trainings so far, there is one thing I see every single time. At the start of team building training, people sit next to those that are a part of their team or are comfortable with back at work. You can see a number of small groups in the room with people preferring to interact with members of their particular group. However, during the course of the day, this changes. And by the end of the day, the groups come together to form one united team. A team where members enjoy together and complete all the assigned tasks to them together. A well bonded and cohesive team. These visible differences make me realize how effective team building trainings are.
How Team Building Training help
Boosting a team’s motivation and leaving them on high note helps them in going back to work with renewed energy. They go back as one well bonded team which is ready to take on the challenges that might come there way. And now, knowing each other’s strengths, they also know how they can face these challenges effectively.
This effect also reflects in their individual and team performance. The increased levels of motivation and high morale boost productivity. This in turn results in higher job satisfaction and employee engagement, and more business for the organisation.
It’s for this reason that many organisations take their teams on outings at the end of the financial year or for annual or sales meets. They take these opportunities to conduct team building trainings for them. This is to motivate the team and encourage them, thereby helping the organisation grow to the next level.
Although team building trainings are very often taken as opportunities for just fun and motivation, they are beyond that. They help teams in understanding their strength as a team and the areas that they need to work on. And the best part is, that it’s done in an experiential manner. So teams get awareness through live experiences, increasing their levels of acceptance and their appetite for change.
