When it comes to running a successful business, no one person can do everything on their own. It takes a team full of hardworking individuals to carry out their assigned tasks on a daily basis. When a company grows, so does the amount of workers needed to keep it afloat. Team building exercises will help your employees work together and, in turn, perform at a higher level.
Back To Back Drawing
This activity is great in developing good communication skills. Essentially, your team will be sectioned into groups of two, and each duo will sit back to back with each other. One person will have an object and have to describe it to the other, while he or she attempts to draw the object the best they can. Each duo has a set amount of time to complete the drawing. This activity promotes teamwork, problem solving, and communication.
Scavenger Hunt
This is a great way to get your team out of the office and moving. A scavenger hunt is a fun way to get everyone working together and it also is an excuse to get out of the office. Plan a set of clues and challenges that your team will have to accomplish to get to the end of the scavenger hunt.
Online Games
Although it might seem a little wacky to play video games in the office, they can be very effective at building teamwork. There are several online games out there that include puzzles and problem solving. Use headsets so each team member can communicate with each other while sitting at their desk. This can even be done remotely.
Shark Tank
Everyone knows the acclaimed television series where entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to billionaires like Mark Cuban. Well you can bring this idea to the office. Choose 3-4 of your employees to be the “sharks” and section the rest of your team into groups to create pitches. Then have your employees pitch their ideas and negotiate deals. This promotes teamwork and creativity.
Virtual Escape Room
Escape rooms are all the rage nowadays, and they can be done virtually. You pick a theme, and your teammates will have to work together to solve a series of challenges to escape. This is a creative way to create synergy among your employees and it also promotes problem solving and communication. At the same time, it is a lot of fun!
