Tero Teambuilding: Why to go for smaller but more frequent teambuilding activities?

Organizing teambuilding activities in companies is quite common, but have you ever heard of having several smaller teambuilding events throughout the year instead of one big one? All of this for a similar budget, more fun, and greater engagement… Let us explain!

Firstly, let’s take a moment to remind ourselves of the many benefits of teambuilding in general. I know there are still skeptics out there, but organizing specific activities between employees has a real positive impact on the well-being of your company and therefore your employees.

After reading this article, you’ll be convinced!

1. STRENGTHENS BONDS AMONG YOU TEAM MEMBERS
   What if the key to happiness lay in our relationships with others? According to a Harvard study that lasted over 75 years, the greatest indicator of happiness is love. Why not foster love together at work? As per Robert Waldinger, director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development, one factor eclipses all others in terms of significance:
   
   “The clearest message we get from this 75-year study is this: good relationships keep us happier and healthier.”
   
   You don’t need a degree in political science to understand that good relations at work are good for business performance and well-being. In fact, the math is quite simple: Happy employees equals a high-performing business.

2. CONTRIBUTES TO SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CAUSES.teambuilding
   In addition to bringing us closer together, participating in social and environmental causes among colleagues teaches us values such as compassion, generosity and empathy. Important values in the corporate world, isn’t it? Our many activities will also enable everyone to develop their critical thinking skills and open their eyes to the world around us. Combining fun and impact is possible at Tero. We’ll see in the next advantage!
   
   
3. ARTFULLY INTERCONNECTS LEISURE AND WORK.. teambuilding
   Who says you can’t mix work and play? For some, work can be routine, so why not organize teambuilding activities to give your employees a boost? It’s said that regular periods of leisure can improve productivity at work by reducing stress, boosting concentration and stimulating creativity. People who take the time to relax and recharge are often more effective in their professional tasks. You know what you have to do… If you haven’t yet, give us a call!
   
   
4. MAINTAINS DIALOGUE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
   At this point, we’re going to ease you into the heart of the matter… Why hold several teambuildings during the year? The title speaks for itself: among other things, to maintain a year-long dialogue between you and your employees. Basically, teambuilding activities strengthen relationships and communication within the team, helping to reduce conflict. When team members maintain positive relationships, they are more inclined to resolve differences constructively.

5. DISCOVERS COLLEAGUES DIFFERENTLY AND BETTER.
   Maybe Jacqueline, the girl from accounting, will become your best friend? Seriously, the world of work takes us out of our comfort zone. We come face to face with people we might never meet in our “regular lives”. Organizing several small teambuilding events throughout the year also gives your company’s employees a chance to discover each other in a different way, and perhaps to forge new friendships. And even more performance and happiness at the office!
   
   
6. BOOST MOTIVATION AND CREATIVITY AMONG YOUR EMPLOYEE.
   By offering a variety of teambuilding activities, employees have the opportunity to discover new challenges, games and experiences. This diversity stimulates their curiosity and encourages creativity by exposing them to different situations and problem-solving methods! Do you want to try?
