Why should a company use Team Building?
A
company will benefit from using a good quality team-building day in a number
of ways.
-
It
is people getting to know each other
-
It
is people spending quality time with each other
-
It
is people getting a chance to learn about each other.
-
It
is people using all their resources wisely
If
you do not know what resources people have, how can you use them wisely?
In
a day to day situation you are so busy doing what you do, perhaps
fire-fighting or just barely keeping the in-tray down to a manageable level,
you don't have time to learn about other people, you don't have time to find
out what skills they have, it may be that you could do what you do normally,
better; you could do your job more effectively if you had certain input from
other people or maybe if you even swap roles within the team.
This
is what team building allows - Time out to specifically develop team skills,
team-building with opportunities to demonstrate and develop new skills.
Going to the pub, having a pizza together, playing pool, going bowling this
is team building but Team-building by chance. A
Team-building event with a specific purpose or outcome is at the other end
of the scale.
