1. Staff integration and team-building
Whether you’re merging teams, trying to improve communication across departments, or onboarding (integrating) new staff – team away days are proven to work. Break the corporate mould by avoiding building a bridge out of straws in a bland conference room (we’ve all been there!) and find new ways to make team-building memorable.
2. Build employee resilience, tenacity & independence
Don’t just complain that “they don’t make em’ like they used to”. Build resilient, tenacious staff by investing in their development. Moving your employees out of their natural comfort zone is a great way to help them grow and thrive. They’ll thank you for it later.
3. An opportunity to assess potential
Team away days can be tailored to meet any objective. Adventure activities provide a great platform for assessing leadership potential as well as other desirable workplace skills: communication, resilience, teamwork, independence etc.
4. Improve employee retention
Team away days are a great way to recognise and celebrate your staff, they help foster teamwork and show you care about your employee’s work-life balance. If you invest in your staff and their happiness, they will reward you with loyalty.
5. Look after employee health – physical & mental
There shouldn’t be a need to expand on this. The physical and mental health of your employees should be top of the priority list in any business. Your people are your greatest asset, so treat them like they are.
6. Think outside the box
Taking your team away from their normal working environment and into the great outdoors helps aid creative thinking. Adventurous team building gives employees permission to let their hair down and the opportunity to bounce ideas off each other in a new setting.
7. Create a culture you’re proud of & make sure your company stands out from the crowd
Everyone wants to work for a company that looks after their employees. Everyone wants to work for a company who invests in their professional AND personal progression. Create a healthy workplace culture and you’ll be surprised how it can positively impact recruitment. After all, your vibe attracts your tribe…
