How Corporate Team Building Training can change an employee’s professional as well as personal life
Imagine a very
functional team but with no life, a team with competitive co-existence and no
human touch. Sounds similar right? In a rat race that we are part of, what is
the thing, that can instill maturity and a sense of understanding and
co-operation amongst individuals? Definitely not sermons by Managers, in fact,
that has a greater chance of going against the management more often than not.
To combat the
disconnect amongst team members of a team and to improve inter personnel skills
and general team health, the concept of Corporate Team Building Training came up.
Introduction
Corporate Team
Building Training is a lucrative career and much in demand and welcomed by the vast
majority of companies, not just because it is a mandate, but also because of it
has helped a number of employees and eventually the Companies’ overall
performance.
It involves a series
of activities that involve group participation and conducted in good locales
outside the company premises mostly so that Employees can call it a day off or
a day of refreshment plus take away some key learnings when they go home. These
activities are ice-breakers for new employees as well as existing employees and
they help in the sense of connection amongst the various people.
Example of activities
Team-building training activities can range from a variety of games,
group brainstorming competitions and also acts.
Games like a treasure
hunt, Pictionary, musical chairs that bring out the child within you. Now, why
are such activities that look childlike?
*Once the child
inside us is freely led out, it breaks the mental conditioning and makes one
confident and to get along well and connect with the other individual
* Breaks
silence
*Helps connection
*Improves creativity
*Activities involving
healthy fun helps in enhancing creativity
Group brainstorming
over issues helps:
*Build trust
*Help one in
appreciating others skills and thought processes
*Improves creativity
*Improves presence of
mind since group energy is involved
* Promotes healthy
competition
* Sometimes improves
your sense of humor as well
Acts focusing on
situations involving conflicts:
Though it is a little
uncomfortable for few employees to express their feelings of conflicts, or to
open up, venting out conflicts by enacting help in easing out that discomfort.
For eg, One is made
to act like the “dominating “ manager and one is made to act like the
“victimized” employee, and conditions are thrown to them to discuss and act.
An employee is made
to think from a Manager’s perspective and vice versa, this helps them build
trust in each other as human beings and believe that at the core of everything
people are genuine.
This helps in
overcome that mental barrier each has built around themselves and behaved in a
certain way.
Having said all of
the above, we can conclude that Corporate Team Building Training
is a therapy
involving human psychology and helps a lot towards Employee engagement and
makes Companies as happy places to work in.
