3 Key Elements of Successful Team Building Events
1- Tailor It
Team building events need to be tailored to the team’s real working environment and atmosphere. There needs to be some parallels between the company’s objectives and the goal of the team building event, otherwise the people attending will feel like the entire team building event is just a waste of time. Sure it can be fun, but it needs to be relevant also. For example, if one of the company’s objectives is to provide a high quality product, with no exceptions, the team building event could include a cook off, with a winner determined by the team that delivers the highest quality dish to Management. The focus is to create analogies between how a successful restaurant is run and what Management wants the team to concentrate on to be even more successful.
2 – Open It
Team building events need to be open forums for discussion, with each team member being motivated to provide input. As soon as someone feels left out, unable to contribute or not feel part of the success, the entire team building event can begin to derail. For example, if the company is holding a Cheeky Food Group team building cooking event, it would be a great idea for everyone to sit down and celebrate the feast they’ve created and discuss what each member has contributed to the banquet and the success.
3 – Apply It
Every successful team building event carries with it important lessons that can be applied back in the workplace. Everything that occurs at a team building event needs to be captured then learnt and applied shortly after the event has occurred. For example, it may be discovered that various team members work well under pressure, handle multi-tasking and time management really well, especially when it comes to making complex dishes or creating sensational garnishes at team building cooking events by Cheeky Food Group.
