The Importance of Team Building

It’s been a strange last few years, to say the least. Despite everyone experiencing a global pandemic together, it has also caused some feelings of isolation from not being able to attend as many large gatherings and events as we used to. But it’s more important than ever to feel connected to one another, which can be hard with virtual workspaces, hybrid school and office situations, and even socially distanced in-person environments.

Doing things together as a team - whether it’s your coworkers, teammates, or camp/scout members – can make all the difference in the dynamic of a group. Read below to hear how group activities in Aberdeen can benefit your group, no matter how large or small they are!

Boosts Morale

Doing fun group activities is a nice change of speed and scenery from what you normally do together. Or even if you already do fun activities together, doing the same ones repetitively can become mundane, leading to disinterest.  We like to bust the myth that all group training and team development have to occur through formal methods. Team building helps remind your team members that they are a part of a team and motivates them to want the best for said team! This leads us to our next point…

Increases Productivity

Stress and overall bad moods can often prevent individuals from reaching their potential, both personally and skillfully. But when people are happy, they work better in all aspects of their life – including within your group. Team members will be able to think more creatively, effectively, and collaboratively. The more collaboratively and efficiently your team works, it cycles back into boosting morale even more!

Provides the Ultimate Bonding Experience

All work and no play is never fun. It becomes tedious and group members begin to dread every aspect of their job, classroom, etc. Team building gives people the opportunity to get to know each other better, without taking away from the time needed to complete their tasks. When new group members join a team or group that is already very familiar amongst themselves, they might feel like they have a lot of catching up to do and not the designated time to do that. What better way to see how people tick and be their genuine selves than to hold a fun brain-racking team-building experience?
