"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." – Henry Ford
In recent years, team building has been widely used in companies, and is an effective way of strengthening the cohesion of a group, but not only. What are the advantages? What activities should be implemented?
What are the objectives of team building?
Sharing and listening: everyone presents their points of view of how to approach a particular problem.The goal is to speak and listen actively to each other.
Boost individual and collective motivation: Through challenges, everyone will have to surpass themselves and put their personal motivation at the service of the group.
Openness: a moment of the unexpected where everyone can discover or highlight a potential, a talent not yet revealed. It is a question here of surprising, pushing, destabilizing to push the collective to think differently, and even to innovate.
Strengthen bonds between colleagues :Through collective challenges, common experiences, sensations, emotions experienced in a group, the spirit of belonging to the group is increased greatly.
Communication : Activities shared outside in a different environment lead to different communication. It can also be a way for the company to communicate its values and culture to its employees in a more subtle but equally effective way.
