Team building events are highly popular amongst all sorts of businesses regardless of size and sector. They have a range of benefits to employers and staff as they can help with many skills, such as communication, problem solving and team work, amongst others.


Indoor team building activities are a good option for countries with generally bad weather, such as the UK. These are popular in the winter and can even be done in the evenings. These may include making a pop video, drumming classes, cake decorating or cocktail flaring, for example.

Outdoor events generally offer more action packed activities such as sports, and can be done in the countryside. They may involve water sports, such as jet skiing or canoeing, or other activities can be treasure hunts or assault courses.

A lot of businesses also hold annual parties to celebrate their success throughout the year and to reward staff and clients. This can also act as a great networking opportunity and create leads for new business. Often, these take place at the end of the year in the festive season, but any month is fine.

Themed food, decoration and activities are a fun way of getting everyone involved and there could even be a dress code on the invites. Getting an event planner involved is a good idea as it takes the weight off your shoulders and they have all the connections and experience to make everything run smoothly.
