"Would I rather be feared or loved? That's easy, Both. I want people to be afraid of how much they love me". While this hysterically recited quote by Michael Scott did have a jocular tone with a pinch of rationality, we totally agree with Michael's intent to create a joyful and scintillating environment in his office.
Enough about sitcoms though now, let's get back to reality. Ever wonder why do businesses, companies and even small start-ups spend a huge chunk of money on team building events which can be as little as a pleasant dinner with the whole office staff and as huge as a 600 employee getaway in a lavish farmhouse for the weekend. Why are these activities important? And what do businesses achieve by implementing them? Let's find out.
These activities may seem trivial to you, but they engender harmony and instill a feeling of affinity among staff members. These activities not only hammers fellowship into their hearts and minds but also rejuvenates their zeal and fortifies their minds to work more efficiently for the betterment of the company.
Why do we need Team Building activities?
Other than the statement affirmed above in the article to substantiate the significance of Team building activities, below we have also mentioned a few reasons to back up the notion asserted above.
Improves work quality:- Team Building activities and gatherings improve the work quality of the employees. It has been shown in many types of research done by organizations that team-building activities make employees work efficiently.
Brings people together:- Fun activities bring people together and encourage them to get to know each other better easily. Wouldn't you like to play chess with your boss and beat him? Or play a match of cricket with all your work associates and showcase the hidden M.S.Dhoni inside you?.
It gives them a break:- Who doesn't get bored by following the same routine every single day? Carrying out that monotonous workload on your shoulder can become hectic. Team building activities also rejuvenate their soul and takes a lot of toll off of their shoulders.
These vital reasons make a team complete and sturdy. In any organization, a primary aim can only be achieved when every single staff member from the CEO to an accountant stands together in harmony and affinity. 2021 is all about new beginnings with power moves and a staunch mindset. If you wish to see your business bloom and reach for the sky, look after the basics and start by encouraging a friendly environment among your staff. Because in the end, Who would like to pull an Ellen DeGeneres on their staff members after all?
