Team building can be of essential importance to any firm, particularly at the start of any new year. With Christmas out of the year for another 12 months, there is a risk of workers feeling blue and low, lowering their productivity, if they do not feel the camaraderie within their office.
In addition to this, global firms have to deal with the fact that there is often an increase in the number of people who are looking to find a new job and a new start in January each year.
By making sure that they have trained everyone and made them feel like a valuable part of an effective unit though, business will improve their chance of retaining the staff members that they have on their books.
Paul Matthews, managing director and founder of People Alchemy Ltd, said though that there is an attitude to team building that is similar to that seen with regards five fruit and veg a day; everyone knows that they should do it, but few do.
He explained that this represents a "knowing-doing gap" that needs to be addressed in order to make sure firms are performing to the best standards and that everyone therein feels valued and needed.
"There is also a history around team building in the corporate market that many people think of as away days doing outdoor stuff like using a pile of ropes and barrels and planks to cross a small lake. These can work if facilitated well, but can also fail badly. The key for any team building is expert facilitation to draw the lessons out of the exercises. Facilitation is far more important than the exercise itself," Mr Matthews added.
