Team building has been making a resurgence as more and more companies are recognizing that it’s an important investment they can make for their people. Team building outings have been known to reduce stress, build trust amongst teams and encourage communication. When given the opportunity to have some fun outside the office, your employees will come back to work more engaged, which fosters a great dynamic and company culture. It can also be adventurous and enjoyable when you choose the right event.
At this point, you may be wondering what makes a great team building event? There are 5 components to a successful team building event.
1. Fun
Team building has a lot of benefits and can help companies accomplish plenty of goals. But it also helps employees have fun, and that’s something that really connects people on a personal level. Having a good time together can be the foundation for a lifetime of trust and honesty, and – let’s be real – is one of the reasons you throw these events in the first place.
2. Trying Something New
The activity that often comes to mind when talking about team building is trust falls and lame outings, but it doesn’t have to be. Skip the golf and steak dinner and try karting instead. You’ll really be offering something unique and exciting to get their blood pumping, and it’s likely something they’ve never tried before. Your employees will surely be boasting boast about this event when they return to the office.
3. For All Skill Levels
There’s nothing more intimidating that showing up to a team building event and feeling like the only novice amongst your peers. With karting, everyone gets the same training and all skill levels are welcome. For those who wish to pass on racing, we have a game room, restaurant, and a full-service bar to keep entertained. There are several outdoor viewing areas to watch the activity on the track and cheer on your teammates!
4. Great Food & Drinks
Let’s be honest, some people go to team building events just for the food & drinks. After a few races, you’ll want to fill up the tank with some delicious grub. With many catering options to choose from like Famous Dave’s , Biscuits & Berries, or our Trackside Tavern you’re sure to find something to keep everyone happy.
5. Inclusive Location
There’s no fun in planning a team building event and then not being able to participate in it because you’re too involved facilitating the schedule. At Unser Karting & Events, your dedicated Event Planner will make things as seamless as possible, taking care of the schedule of events, catering, and everything else! All you have to do is have fun.
If employees are truly the biggest asset to a company, then investing in these employees by offering them a fun and unique day out of the office will surely keep them invested in you.
