There are many ways create a more team-oriented

workplace. This can be done through activities and

creative teaching, once your team feels comfortable with

one another you will notice a huge difference in the way

they interact. The first thing that any team leader must

do is some team building activities. This is one way to

bring the workplace together and create a better place to

work.

These activities can range from simple ice breakers to

more complex team building activities such as adventure

activities. When you work closely with a group of people,

it is very important that each team member feels like

part of the group, and steps outside of their own comfort

zone. This can be done by choosing the right team

building activities for your workplace. It has been proven

by both government and University studies that when a

team of co workers completes a team building activity

they work better with one another, and have a deeper

understanding about being on and working in a team.

The critical part of a copasetic work place is a team

effort, and this is especially true in upper management.

When the management cannot work together, it is highly

evident in every aspect of the workplace. In order to

bring management together, team building exercises

may be needed. The following are some activities that

will help bring both management and staff closer

together. This way you will see productivity go up, as

well as the self esteem of the team members involved.

Ice breakers: There is a large amount of choice in this

area. These are usually defined a quick, down to the

basic games that will help relive tension. These games

can help in learning the names of staff members, or give

a little background information on each person involved.

These short and to the point games help people relax and

feel comfortable with one another.

Some examples of ice breakers:

Three truths and one lie: Get a team member to say

two true things about themselves and one lie. The other

team members can try and find out what is true, and

what is a lie.

Search for someone: A list of things to look for is given

to every member ( someone with brown hair, a birthday

in June, loves bananas..ECT) and each team member

must go around the room asking questions, in order to

find people who fit the categories given.

What is in your wallet/ purse? : Each team member

has to take a few things out of their wallet or purse.

Showing the other team members.

Some team building activities

Team builders: This is a very brood spectrum, as these

activities have a huge range. There are some team

building activities for the workplace that are short games,

much like icebreakers. While there, are more intense

team building activities such as half day projects and

interview like partnerships. In most workplaces only

short team building activities are done, in order to help

each of the team members get to know one another.

Outdoor games: Outdoor games that require teams are

great for building workplace friendships. A day of planned

out door activities such as: capture the flag, scavenger

hunt and dodge ball are great ways to bring a team

together.

Do you know bingo: This is a game in which every

team member needs to get the “autograph” of a person

who matches a square on the bingo sheet (IE. Someone

who loves John Grishim) once all the squares have an

autograph, you can claim a bingo.

Who done it? This is a game in which every team

member writes down something they have done.

Something that may be out of the ordinary. The rest of

the group will have to try and match a person to each

activity.

These team building activities for the workplace are

simple and easy. There are more complex activities that

can be done on weekend retreats company holidays.

These may include a team building weekend, seminar or

camping trip. Anything that brings the work place

together is considered a team building activity.

The reason that so many companies and corporations are

investing time and money into team building activities for

the work place is because the way a group works

together reflects on the amount of work they get done. It

also helps in lowering the turnover rate and the

depression rate within the work place.

There are quite a few great reasons to implement team

building in your workplace. Regardless of the company

budget, or the deadlines you have, team building is an

essential part of creating and keeping a well rounded and

thriving business.
