Regardless of what products or services you sell, your employees are a big part of your success. Without them, you wouldn’t have much of a business. Sometimes, though, it can seem that departments are completely separate entities, and in the case of a commission-based shop, it can seem that all of your employees are competitors. That’s why team building activities are so important. It brings unity and comradery to all areas of your business. The first step is to design and create a team motto or logo for all to share. An Irvine printing company can help by giving you a supply of t-shirts, water bottles, or any other item you wish your team to have. Here are some unique ideas for a great morale booster:
-
Charity event: This is an ideal way to bring your team together and help the community at the same time. Helping out at a food bank, ride a bike built for 10, or wash cars at a local car wash to raise money for your favorite charity. Every little bit helps and your team will learn to work together toward one single goal.
-
Mystery dinners: These are fun and inexpensive if you have company leaders host the event at their homes. Split up your employees into different groups and only give them the date and time of the event. On that afternoon, have the leader send out the information to his or her team, so they can arrange transportation with each other. It’s a great way for employees of different departments to get to know one another.
-
Escape rooms: This is an ideal way for your team to bond, as it requires leadership skills, patience, logic and teamwork. The team gets locked into a room for one hour, and they must find hidden objects and solve puzzles to find the key that will set them free.
Reward your team with gifts at the end of the team building exercises with an item you’ve created with an Irvine printing company.
