It is no real secret that if employees are happier in their work place you are likely to get more work out of them
. The way to creating happiness in the work place is to get a real sense of team work. If people feel that they are working as part of a team, they will want to work harder so as not to let the rest of the team down. When you feel part of a team you also feel happier and more secure in the work place and this will increase your work levels.
As an employer you can not force teams of people to get on, however what you can do is arrange team building events. These are events away from work that encourage people to work together and get to know one another, which can really help your teams become a close knit unit.
There are loads of different activities that you can arrange when it comes to organising team building events. It is probably a good idea to choose something different because then it is likely to be a new activity for everyone, so they can all start at the same novice level rather than racing ahead of the others.
If you contact a specific team building events company they are likely to have loads of ideas for you to try. In fact many of them have premises that you can travel too and they will arrange the whole event for you. This is great because it means you have no stress when it comes to the organisation, you can join in the fun and you know that the people arranging it are completely unbiased.
The challenges vary but will usually involve teams working together in order to try and beat the other team. This could be the quickest to navigate their way through the forest, the fastest team to 'make' a million pounds or other various money making schemes.
Some of them are crazier than others, which means that you should be able to find something to suit everyone in the teams skill levels.
