Teamwork makes the dream work, right? We’ve all heard this a bunch of times in our lives but what exactly does it mean? Teamwork is the collaborative effort of a group to achieve a common goal or to complete a task in the most effective and efficient way. Working in teams is a part of the daily work life and team building is essential for successful businesses.
But what exactly is team building? It’s a collective term for various types of activities used to enhance social relations and define roles within teams. When teams spend time getting to know each other better, they build better trust and learn better communication. Additionally, bringing people together improves interpersonal relationships within a company’s staff. Better interpersonal relationships correlate directly to a better, more harmonious atmosphere at work.
The key to finding the perfect team building exercise is to find something that enables healthy competition in a fun atmosphere. It’s important to note that stepping outside of the office is beneficial for both employees and businesses. Too often employees can feel drained by their work environments after spending countless hours there. A new environment can increase creativity and produce new ideas. Additionally, friendly competition between coworkers can help boost productivity as everyone wants to have bragging rights.
At The Keg Social, we offer plenty of activities to spark this creative and competitive side! Blow off some steam in axe throwing or enjoy a relaxed game of bowling on any of our 28 lanes. Have your employees work together and in teams with billiards or ping pong. And of course, nothing sparks friendly competition like arcade games – thankfully we have multiple arcades with too many machines to count!
