How to succeed a good team building?
The proposals for team building activities are not lacking like Bungee jumping, tree climbing, rafting down a river, cooking etc. As friendly as they are, they will really help solve problems within a team.
There is recreational team building, and strategic team building. The second option should be led by trained individuals such as occupational psychologists, coaches or specialized trainers. A person who runs a creative workshop will not have the same skills as the one who organizes a team building.
Most companies looking for a team building project in Provence come without a clear idea. The recreational or strategic notion does not speak to them. Most businesses choose recreational, and few have real goals to achieve. Be it after a conflict, for communication problems, or to set up a new team.
For a good team building, it is necessary to analyze the needs according to the desires and the problems of the company. If the approach is strategic, it is a coach who will take care of the project. Otherwise, it will be rather a facilitator. It is also important that all employees can participate. The goal must be identifiable, observable and achievable. The relational qualities that employees will have to use must be the same as those they develop in the workplace.
