Five Tips For Team Building

Most business owners or organisation leaders nowadays are aware the value team building

has and have made space for it in their yearly schedules, with great results. But what many people are asking is how they can really get the most out of their team building activity, both for the organisation and staff as individuals, so to help with this here are the top five tips for team building.

First up preparation, preparation, preparation. It probably goes without saying that if you're planning the team building activities yourself then everything needs to be planned and you need to have all the appropriate facilities and appliances in place, but even if you aren't responsible for this there are other ways you need to prepare. Ensure all participants are fully aware of what will be happening and know what the appropriate dress is, that you prepare yourself mentally for the day, and make sure that those involved have ample opportunity prior to the event to raise any issues.

Having an open mind is important for those taking part in team building, as with an open mind you will often enjoy and learn more from something that you previously may not have even tried. S arrive to your team building day with an open mind, and help other team members have one too.

Know your enemy! In the run up be aware of anything (or anyone) that may hinder your teams success and enjoyment when team building. It could be the potential of bad weather, a particularly negative person or the fact that attendees will be concerned about being out of the office. But whatever it is address it prior to the day to reduce the chance of it affecting your team.

Making sure everyone is included and enthusiastic is also important, both prior to the event and on the day, so keep everyone informed before the event, help them with any queries they have and then once the day arrives be aware of anyone who may not be having an enjoyable time.

My final tip is don't take yourself to seriously. Aside from the business benefits of team building, you are also there to have loads of fun and get a break from the norms of your working environment, so relax, have a laugh and let the real you shine through!
