Team building exercises are useful for all types of teams, can be used to break the deadlock for new teams, or strengthen existing teams, and team building exercises are suitable for teams of all sizes.
Team building days are often a good way to "solve" specific issues within a team, which may not be resolved in a normal work environment.
There may be a shame around team building, because the wrong activities are usually chosen for the people involved, or people don't have the right attitude toward team building and what they get from it. However, if you think about the event and get employees fully involved - then they are positive about the event - Team Building Day can really do business!
So what are the activities?
There are all sorts of things, from scorpion construction to cooking, quad bikes to crafts, which actually depends on who is participating and what you want. For example, if the purpose of the conversation is to improve the relationship in the team, then some uncompetitive things will make everyone laugh, such as karaoke or build something. Or, if the goal is to encourage the team to be more energetic and courageous in business decisions, things like karting or paintball can be good because it can motivate people to be at risk and more relevant to adrenaline.
Encouraging employees to work more harmoniously, or taking on tasks outside their roles, helping others, the games and challenges they have to work with are really helpful, because people often don't realize that their or other people's skills become apparent and return. It is often remembered in the workplace.
No matter what you choose, just remember a] who attends and b] your goal is achieved from day to day. The most important thing is - enjoy it!
