How does team building activity translate into the work environment? Like all good things, it certainly depends on the motivation of individuals. It’s a common theme – how do you take all the good, the excitement, the motivation of the corporate away day – back to the workplace?

The Day After…

What happens when everyone comes into work the day after the team building event?

Translating the fundamental principles of a team building event to the work process can be a good start. These principles say that team work needs to be:

• Collaborative – with all people sharing a common goal
• Engaging for everyone
• Focused – with specific goals and expected outcomes
• Full of energy with huge amounts of encouragement from within and outside the team
• Challenging for everyone
• Rewarding – for individuals
• Rewarding – for the team
• Rewarding – for the organisation

Figure out what went right on your corporate away day, and see if you can re-create that environment and those structures within your work teams. In our experience, just making sure one thing from the above list happens, is a sure fire way of getting things moving.
