Nowadays, improving team’s performance is a challenge for management. Employees are not seen as individuals anymore. Now they are part of a team and the company’s success is closely related to how well they can create a high-performance team.
In its simplest terms, the concept focuses its efforts in the development of teamwork skills and team communication as well as a good understanding of team dynamics and improvement of team performance to reach company’s goals.
Teambuilding can vary from complex role-playings to simple bonding exercises. Most activities include exercises about brainstorming, creativity, collaboration and feedback. The target areas for these activities are problem solving, conflict resolution and organizational development.
Teambuilding also can consist of company’s celebrations on holidays such as Halloween or Easter.
Finally, to be effective, teambuilding needs to include follow-up actions. If this is not considered, the results obtained will be useless.
