Regularly Scheduled Team Building Gets Better Results

In today’s fast-paced work environment, it is easy for employees to become stressed, overworked, and disconnected from their colleagues. This can lead to a lack of engagement and a decrease in productivity. That’s why team building activities are more important now than ever before. Regularly scheduled team building activities can help to improve employee morale, increase collaboration, and enhance productivity in the workplace.

According to a recent study by Gallup, only 33% of employees in the United States are engaged at work. This means that the vast majority of employees are not fully invested in their jobs, which can lead to a lack of productivity and poor business outcomes. Team building activities can help to combat this by fostering a sense of community and collaboration among employees.

Additionally, a study by the Harvard Business Review found that employees who feel like they are part of a team are more productive, engaged, and motivated. This means that team building activities not only improve employee morale but also have a positive impact on the bottom line.

Regularly scheduled team building activities can also help to reduce employee turnover. 

According to a study by the Society for Human Resource Management, the cost of replacing an employee can be up to 50-60% of their annual salary. This can have a significant impact on a company’s bottom line. By investing in team building activities, companies can reduce employee turnover and save money in the long run.

One of the main benefits of team building activities is that they can help to improve communication and collaboration among employees. According to a study by Salesforce, companies that prioritize collaboration are five times more likely to be high performing. By providing employees with opportunities to work together in a fun and relaxed environment, team building activities can help to break down communication barriers and encourage collaboration.

Team building activities can also help to improve employee morale and job satisfaction. A study by Globoforce found that 89% of employees who were recognized for their work reported higher levels of job satisfaction. 

Team building activities provide employees with an opportunity to have fun and be recognized for their contributions, which can lead to increased job satisfaction and a more positive work environment.

There are many different types of team building activities that companies can use to improve employee morale and productivity. Some popular options include:

1. Escape rooms – In an escape room, employees work together to solve puzzles and escape a room within a set time limit. This can help to improve communication and collaboration among team members.
2. Scavenger hunts – A scavenger hunt can be a fun way to get employees out of the office and working together to solve clues and complete challenges.
3. Volunteer work – Volunteering as a team can provide employees with a sense of purpose and help them to connect with their colleagues in a meaningful way.
4. Sports activities – Sports activities such as volleyball, basketball, or even yoga can help to improve team dynamics and provide a fun way to get some exercise.
5. Cooking classes – A cooking class can be a fun and unique way to bring employees together and encourage collaboration.
