Planning a corporate team building event for your business can be stressful. Not only do you have to make sure you tailor the event specifically towards your employees, organize it so it runs seamlessly and choose an enjoyable but educational program, you also need to choose the right time to host your event.
Team building events can be held all year round, and each season has its own set of positives when it comes to hosting corporate events.
Now that spring is finally here, Teambonders has listed five reasons why spring is a great time to host your company’s team building event:
1 - Spring is about new beginnings
Spring is about new beginnings, meaning it is a great time to take a fresh look at employee engagement, collaboration and company culture - all things that can be significantly improved from hosting a corporate team building event.
A team building activity this spring can recharge and help revitalize your team, putting a new spin on working together. In fact, a team building event will help to improve staff loyalty, reduce workplace conflict, improve staff retention, encourage communication and much more.
2 - The weather is better!
While it can still be cold in many locations across Canada and the US in April, generally speaking, spring is the start of warmer temperatures! Team bonding events can be successful all year round if implemented right, and there are also indoor events for those colder months. However, nothing beats the joy of getting outside at the start of spring. Also, it’s likely that all of your employees will be able to attend a spring team building event since it won’t clash with planned summer vacations.
3 -EVALUATE current business goals
Most companies set up their new business goals at the start of the year, meaning spring is a fantastic time to take a look back at the goals you set and analyze how they are coming along. It’s possible that these goals may need a re-think, while at the same time employees may need a further incentive to help you reach them.
By hosting a corporate team building event, you can remind your employees of the company goals you set earlier in the year. Not only will this encourage them to meet targets, it will also empower them to improve and build on their existing skills.
4 - Spring is about working on your garden
Excuse the seasonal analogy, but every garden needs some water and attention to flourish during spring. Likewise, each employee that works for your business needs the help of your company to reach their full potential.
Use a team building event to provide team members with feedback when they’ve done a great job on a project or account, as well as working with them constructively when they’ve made a mistake.
By actively showing interest in your employees and providing them feedback in a more friendly setting, you will help staff members to grow. This attention could even push them towards achieving a goal - whether it be a professional qualification or an increase in sales in the office.
