Team Building Ideas Before the Christmas Rush – 3 Community-Building Programs
Team building: for some, it's a chore, but for many, these events inspire enthusiasm and foster good team spirit at work. When employees know each other well, they are more likely to turn to each other for help and enjoy coming to work every day.
That’s why it’s essential not to neglect team building. In fact, organize a fantastic community-building program before the Christmas rush!
Why Are Team Building Activities Important?
Employees working 40-hour weeks may spend more time with their colleagues than with their own families. Feeling like they have friends among their coworkers can significantly boost their well-being and loyalty to the company.
Constant work-related stress can make them feel that there's no joy in their job. It's important not to see them solely as profit-generating machines; long-term freshness can be achieved by ensuring that shared laughs, jokes, and memories also tie them to the workplace.
Celebrating birthdays, Christmas gift exchanges, and various seasonal events can provide a much-needed break. Even a half-hour break can mean a lot. The possibilities for after-work team building are endless. Organize a team-building event before the Christmas rush so that workdays during the busy period are also harmonious and pleasant! Here are some ideas:
Walk Shelter Dogs Together
Dog walking at a shelter is a great team-building idea for several reasons: it feels good for the team to support a socially important cause, and it gives the company a positive image to clients when they see that friendly, kind employees are handling their daily tasks. Caring for and bonding with animals is a universal topic everyone enjoys discussing: talking about pets at home, preferring dogs or cats, or which shelter dog they would take home. These are more personal topics than just discussing work! The Y Generation Student Cooperative even has an office dog – check it out on our website! 😉
The Power of a Common Goal
Escape Room: Achieving a Common Goal
Is team spirit lacking? In an escape room, you must work together as a real community to achieve a common goal! It requires creative people with good logical skills and true strategists alike. Such a game can reveal new strengths! Most escape rooms have a time limit, so it’s essential to be as synchronized as possible to escape together.
Competition Within Team Building
Paintball: The Thrill of Competition
Some people thrive in competitive situations: on a paintball field, the rule is usually that two teams face each other, and everyone defends their own base. The game builds on competition – you constantly need to attack the opponent – while also fostering teamwork within your own team. The joy of the game relieves stress, and shared laughter is guaranteed to bond everyone together!
