We share almost a quarter of our entire week with our work colleagues therefore it is important to find ways to improve relationships between team members.

Having a strong team that works well together can make a world of difference therefore it is critical to have a successful team environment. When staff have a sense of belonging and experience growth as a team, they feel that their shared input is contributing to the overall success of the business and this results in higher levels of motivation and commitment. Encouraging teamwork should be a top priority for employers as the benefits include increased productivity in the workplace and happier employees who enjoy coming to work!

When organising a team-building event, it is important to involve your employees in the decision making process and to take on their personalities, needs and interests. Ask your staff to make a list of potential activities they would be interested in, sort through the options and come to some mutual agreement.

Suggestions:

  • Fundraising events for charity
  • A trivia night
  • Tennis competition
  • A picnic at a local park
  • Rock climbing
  • Cooking classes
  • Gold tournament

When teamwork is encouraged, employees benefit in the following ways:

  • Employees get to know each other on a more personal level
  • Barriers are broken between colleagues
  • New technical and interpersonal skills are shared
  • Employees are aware of the importance of communication
  • A relaxed atmosphere is created and employees feel comfortable around one another
