Team building activities are often used by HR Departments to bring people together, that may work side-by-side every day, in unusual ways to foster fraternity and break down social barriers.
Whilst a little unusual, in order to retain employees interest, most team building days might amount to a staff night out, a game of laser tag or some logic-based tasks.
Speaking to HR Grapevine, Scott Livingstone, Human Resources Director, Chivas Brothers, explained how team-centric tasks and schemes can have a positive affect on the workforce.
“Fostering an engaged corporate culture – one that is truly people-focused and demonstrates to our employees and wider communities just how much they are valued by the business – [drives] entrepreneurship, employee engagement and team spirit amongst those taking part.”
However, perhaps unsurprisingly, some of the biggest commercial brands have some of the most innovative and large-scale team building activities – well, they’ve got the budget haven’t they.
