Team building activities can be beneficial for all work environments, but selecting the right activities for your team will help to make the tasks more effective and impressionable. Here are our top 3 suggestions to select the right activities to reach your goals.
Creating A Goal To Motivate That Motivates The Whole Team
The first step in choosing or creating the right team-building activities is to outline a specific goal to be attained from the exercises. Goals for the team can pertain to many different areas such as better communication, the overall morale of the employees or simply providing space for people to get to know each other better. Once a goal has been set it can make the process of choosing the right activities much easier.
Knowing your team members and participants personalities
Team building activities are important for an organization as they help in creating a cohesive and collaborative work environment. There are many different types of activities that can be used for team building. The first step is to understand what type of activity will work best for your organization. By having an overall goal in mind, it is then best to think about the people that will be involved. Knowing the employees or people participating, like what they enjoy, their passions as well as learning styles can narrow down where and what activities to include.
Time and level of activity
There are three main categories that team building activities can fall into physical, mental, and creative. Physical activities usually involve some sort of exercise and typically last between 30 minutes to an hour while mental activities focus on things like solving puzzles or completing word games which last around 15 minutes to an hour. Creative activities are more diverse as they include things like brainstorming or idea generation which can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. With many options to choose from it can be difficult to narrow the decision-making down. Team building can include only one or all three of these types of activities depending on the goal to be achieved.
