Tipy jak uspořádat skvělý teambuilding: posilněte týmového ducha a zlepšete spolupráci

Teambuilding is a great tool for strengthening relationships between colleagues, improving communication and increasing motivation. But for teambuilding to be really effective, it is important to plan it carefully and in time and choose activities that will be fun for most of the participants. Let's take a look at some tips to create an unforgettable and successful team building. 

1. Clearly define the goal of team building 

Before the actual planning, clarify what you want to achieve with team building. Is it to enhance collaboration, improve communication, build trust, or "just" have fun and unwind from work stress? If you get your goal right, you'll be better able to choose the right activities and focus your program on what your team really needs and would really enjoy. 

Our tip: Involve some colleagues in the preparation of the team building. They will feel much more part of the whole process and will be more involved in the activities you have planned for them.

2.  Decide when the time is right 

Do you want to have teambuilding in the summer and outside, when all colleagues can stretch their legs a bit, or do you rather prefer indoor teambuilding, where you will have an overview of everyone involved and wait for winter, when there is a greater choice of locations (that is, if you don't go skiing with your colleagues)? Be that as it may, think mainly about which day to choose and choose weekends only in agreement with the participants. Weekend teambuildings, which do not include any training program, are purely voluntary and no one can force colleagues to participate.  

Our tip: From dozens of events we've been to, we've noticed that the happiest are teambuilding participants who take place Thursday through Friday, and on Fridays they can leave earlier and start enjoying an earlier weekend. Teambuilding will thus be a pleasant feeling. 

3. Choose the right place 

Location plays a key role. Choose according to the type of activities - nature is ideal for outdoor games and activities, a quiet conference space can serve for creative workshops. It is important that the place supports an atmosphere of teamwork and at the same time offers enough space for relaxation.

4. Choose a variety of activities 

Not everyone in the team is an athlete or a lover of adrenaline experiences. That's why it's good to choose a variety of activities so that everyone can find something they enjoy. Favorites are: 

• Portable indoor escape games that come to you 

• Outdoor activities (treasure hunts around the location where you are staying or that you want to get to know, ropes course, orienteering) 

• Creative workshops (painting, cooking, music workshops) 

• Games to develop communication and trust 

Our tip: Make a pre-selection of activities and then reach out to a few colleagues to get an idea of ​​which direction to go. Such hobby horsing might be fun for a few people, but it would certainly not be fun for everyone.
