Team Building Within The Office Environment.
Creating opportunities for your employees to mingle is an easy and effective way of breaking down communication barriers. Holding team building within the office environment does not need to be over complicated, it's all about creating an opportunity that is structured. These are a few suggestions that could be implemented effectively.- Why not hold a lunch time discussion. Provide lunch for everyone involved, this could be for a department, a team or the whole of the company depending on how large your organisation is. Set work related questions for each group. The number in each will depend on the amount of employees you have. Get each member of staff to take a number from a hat, group all the people who have the number 1 together, all who hold the number 2 together etc. This will ensure that everyone mixes with different people rather than just with their known colleagues who they are familiar with.
- Comfortable spaces within the office where colleagues can collaborate and share their ideas and opinions is also important. Set a group task in this area and provide food and drink for everyone, keep it informal and relaxed.
- Provide your employees with group mentoring by a senior manager or a manager, this will provide another opportunity for team building. It will develop the relationship between the employees and provide them with further skills and offer new approaches in dealing with everyday tasks.
- Offsite lunches and dinners or picnics in the warmer months are a great way of introducing team building to the work place.
- Schedule in a game of rounder's or cricket as an outdoor activity to get everyone in the team spirit. Participation in this type of activity is a great morale booster and great for confidence too.
Therefore allowing your employees to feel comfortable with each other and to be able to put forward their opinions is important. These ideas are a great way of facilitating a well-structured team event with a professional company who will help the business understand the behaviour of its employees in a directed manner.
