So, what exactly is team building and what benefits does it bring? Team building is the creation of cohesive working groups to achieve organizational goals. Its benefits include:
​
• Develops a sense of purpose among employees who feel devoted towards the direction and results attained by the team.
• Team building also fosters a sense of trust among the group’s members. Mutual trust built by team building exercises allows staff members to depend more on each other hence becoming more productive and efficient as a unit.
• Team building also acts as a tool for easing conflicts among workers. Due to the diverse number of personalities found in any business, unnecessary disputes and conflicts may arise. Team building plays a crucial role in easing these disputes by letting staff bond with each other and get accustomed to each other’s traits.
• Team building efforts also bring about effective communication in an organization. This is because some team building activities need to be solved as a unit, therefore, obliging team members to talk to each other.
• Team building enhances collaboration among workers. It’s common to see staff members work individually even in group projects. The bond created through team building encourages employees to work together.
• Lastly, team building is an important aspect of company culture since It can be enjoyable and adventurous hence boosting company morale.
​

Implementing Team Building Activities in Your Company

Since we already know the numerous benefits of team building exercises, let’s have a look at how you can execute it in your business.

1 Identify Your Business and Team’s Needs
The first and most vital step in effective team building is identifying your team’s weaknesses and strengths. You must ask yourself the following questions to identify the root of any problems that should be addressed or strong points that should be emphasized on.
• Does the company or team need a morale boost?
• Do some members affect the group’s/company’s ability to implement new strategies through resistance to change?
• Do the majority of workers in the company prefer working individually or as a single cohesive unit?
• Is poor communication among company employees affecting the business’ progress?
• Do staff members need to get to know each other better?
• Are there conflicts between certain individuals in the business that’s creating divisions in the company?

2 Know your Team
Your company will obviously be made up of people with varying ambitions, needs, and personalities. As a result, workers who get to know each other’s varying character traits build a happier and more trusting team. You can do this by organizing pre-holiday drinks in the evening or hosting inexpensive group barbeques. These are easy ways of making your employees mingle and mix more freely. Moreover, attending social events fosters relationships among staff. This is because people will be more likely to get things rolling and reveal more of their character traits in a relaxed setting. Studies show that sharing parts of your personal life improve your likability since it shows other people you can be compassionate, empathic and dependable.

3 Work Towards a Shared Goal
One of the most efficient and quickest ways of getting people to work together is by getting them to have a shared goal or vision. This prevents people from going in different directions which is highly unproductive and frustrating.

​4 Going for Team Building Activities
Team building activities are both a useful and effective way of getting employees to interact with each other in a fun and positive way.
• Uniting employees and creating a team spirit
• Enhancing the strength of staff members by helping them work more cohesively and efficiently.
