Key Benefits of Team Building at Work and How to Capitalise on Them

Team building is an important part of building a strong team in the workplace. Understanding your team’s strengths and weaknesses can help us tailor your team building day and target key benefits needed for your team to succeed in the workplace.

Activities to Improve Communication Skills

Effective communication skills are a key aspect of a successful team. In today’s fast-paced environment, your team is likely to be working across multiple projects and departments, and clear communication skills must be used to ensure projects are completed on time. Team building activities give your team a chance to practice these skills in a more relaxed environment, where they can work together and communicate more effectively outside of their normal routine.

  • Escape the Office – Your teams will take on identical challenges, and they must race to be the first to discover the hidden key and break out from the office. Each stage requires a different approach with a range of tasks including coded messages, visual puzzles and observation tests. This team-building activity truly relies on your team’s ability to work together and communicate effectively to gain success!
  • Pit Stop Challenge – With replica F1 cars, your teams will experience the roles of a professional pit crew. You’ll assign roles like team leader, gun operator and wheel mechanic, based on each person’s strengths. After training, your team will put their skills to the test and work together to complete their first full pit stop tyre change. This activity is a great way to get your team working together, communicating effectively and building trust to complete the challenge.

Ideas to Strengthen Teamworking Skills

Understanding your team and developing strong teamwork skills are essential for completing tasks and reaching common goals in the workplace. According to team development theory, it’s crucial for groups of people to go through key stages before reaching success. Team building activities allow your team to get to know each other both on a social and professional level. They increase trust and build a rapport between team members, making it easier for them to communicate in their daily working life.

Teamwork-led activities also work towards fostering a positive culture – one where everyone feels safe to share ideas amongst each other and feel that their contributions are valued. The sense of support and passion towards working with their colleagues will prove vital in their day-to-day workplace life.

If you’re welcoming new starters or bringing together different departments, team building activities create the perfect environment for team members to learn how their colleagues think, solve problems and approach tasks. These valuable insights help to strengthen teamworking skills and support them in finding a way to work together productively.

  • Treachery – Your team is on the verge of cracking the clues, their excitement contagious. But for you, this challenge goes deeper. It’s not just about solving puzzles – it’s about loyalty versus ambition. Will you stick by your teammates, or will you risk it all to achieve your mission? This fun team-building event will test your strategy, trust and teamwork.
  • Get Me Out of Here – Inspired by the hit TV show, teams will compete to score as many points as possible on each activity, with the top teams then put forward to tackle the Cyclone finale. With a series of highly unique and authentic challenges, it’s the ultimate test of teamwork. Who will be crowned the victorious team?

Activities for Increased Creativity in a Team

Creativity is key to thinking outside the box to solve challenges within the workplace. Team building activities provide a great opportunity for your team to share ideas and be creative with their solutions to challenges, in a relaxed environment. Activities like these will help give your team a much-needed break, increasing their overall morale and making them excited about collaborating with their colleagues.

  • Kinetic Energy – Your team will be divided into groups, and each must compete to create an elaborate domino design. To reach the next level, your team must communicate with each other and join their work together to create the final product. Creativity and communication are fundamental parts of this event as your teams must work together to design their domino display for the grand finale!
  • Digital Photo Mosaic – Your team members must work together to carefully select images for their photo mosaic wall. The images must complement one another in terms of colour, shape, and detail, allowing the larger image to be recognisable when viewed from afar. The result is a dynamic fusion of detail and creativity, with all of your team members thinking creatively to create the final image.

Activities to Bring Out a Competitive Team Spirit

Competition can be good for team development when done right. We see this in sales environments where colleagues battle to be the top seller for the month. The same applies to team building; introducing friendly competition in a new environment and encouraging your teams to try new activities is a great way to bring your team together to achieve a common goal and find new strengths they can use in the workplace. It also helps increase morale and engagement, with team members feeling a sense of value and accomplishment in competing towards a common goal.

  • Escape the Crime – A hugely immersive activity that will keep your teams fully absorbed as they go head to head and race towards piecing together the details of the crime. Each team will be allocated their own crime scene and must be the first to solve each of the 4 stages of the entire puzzle to identify the killer!
  • Master the Task – Inspired by the award-winning TV program, your teams are set a series of physical and mental tasks by our Taskmasters, and they must work together to combine their strengths as they compete to master the task!
