  For Managers - Four Team Building Events
 

Four ways to bring your team together ... from remote working to teamworking
By Syd Strike

"Now is the time to talk"

There is absolutely no doubt that for many companies the pandemic has been a catalyst for creativity, flexibility, resourcefulness and pulling together.

And yet I believe that this new paradigm will be short lived and replaced by the need for even  more creative working, more worker involvement and more change in working practice. Many of your employees have given more, become more flexible and resourceful, and many managers have become more tolerant, flexible and encouraging.

So isn’t that all good?  Yes but … As life returns to some normality people will begin to reflect on patterns of work, what they want to give to the job and what they expect from their managers. Now is the time to talk, and of course, to listen. Now is the time to bring the team back together.

I would like to share with you four ways you can bring your team back together, from remote working to teamworking

  For Trainers - Free Team Building Activities
 

This month we are giving you some exciting team building activities which you will find in our Trainer Treasure Chest.

 

 
  Training in Action - Team Building Events delivered by Syd Strike Training


The power of effective team building cannot be underestimated. A well designed and facilitated team building event can result in outstanding change in behaviour and improvement in performance as Syd Strike has proved for many of his clients over the years.

Many teams have enjoyed the delights of  the 'Spider’s Web' constructing giant jigsaw puzzles, working with logs, ropes and blindfolds ... all in the name of team working.

It isn’t all about fun and games. Teams work with their managers and supervisors to identify issues, concerns and ideas for improving team working and effectiveness culminating in action plans to create a workplace where management and staff work to company standards and values, and everyone in the organisation is a winner. 

The team building events are often part of a wider leadership and motivation programme organised by the Human Resources Departments in conjunction with the Management Team. Syd Strike designs and delivers the training but as Syd points out ‘real success comes from the hard work and support of managers who listen to their employees, provide the tools for the job and recognise, praise and reward the dedication of highly skilled teams'.

One Managing Director commented that "efforts at all levels within the organisation to achieve goals and improve team morale are paying off and we are enjoying positive results and increased customer compliments as well as breaking all records for reliability".

Team Building events may be delivered as one or two day events, half day, residential or whatever is required to fit your needs and your budget.

"Just a quick note to thank you on behalf of the Education team for your excellent facilitation of the  course.  As we both detected during the 2 days a real buzz was generated both during the formal and informal aspects of the retreat.

Quote of the Month

"one simple game contained in it practically all the lessons that one needed about teamwork, involvement, mutuality of respect, the ability to recognise contributions, no matter where they come from, the importance of multiple skills, and the need to stay together, and produce a solution which was good enough"
