Present the annual report, explain the marketing plan, announce a merger or notify of an organizational change, This type of information that needs to be communicated does not always arouse great interest on the part of the audience and can seem boring during a team meeting. So why not do it as part of a team building activity? You will increase your chances of getting your message across, and at the same time, you will contribute to strengthening team spirit.
1. Going from spectator to active participant
The basic idea behind combining a meeting and a team building activity is to involve the members of your group individually in an interactive and collective activity. By taking full part in a group activity, everyone is invested with a mission and is given responsibilities. To ensure that everyone takes part in the reflections, discussions or the change process, for example, it is essential to go beyond the framework of a simple meeting where there are more spectators than actors.
2. Collaborate, all at the same pace
Team building activities have a lot of impact on group dynamics. Spirit of solidarity, mutual aid, collaboration, leadership are some of the characteristic phenomena that emerge. The company Latulippe Team Building Center organizes activities that make it possible to get there. One of these is a TAM-TAM session where 100, 300, 500 and even up to 1,000 people from the same company play percussion for the first time, on a stage, all together, in perfect harmony. The participants experience a feeling of unity, communion and pride, but also of belonging to the group and, by extension, to the company. Stimulate contribution and interaction. Boost your meetings and events by adding a participatory activity where your employees will be able to express their creativity and expend their energy!
3. Strengthen team spirit
Then transpose these new achievements in a work context and you will see the changes in behavior on the ground. After such a collective achievement, people discover themselves and are more attuned to themselves and to others. Connections are forged or strengthened. Better prepared to deal with change, your employees will be ready to consider, accept, and embrace change.
4. Together in change
All Team building experiences require us to think, see and act differently, to communicate, collaborate, and understand each other. At the heart of the action, people open up to new perspectives. The more palpable the feeling of being part of something big, the stronger the impact will be. Because, from the manager to the material handler, everyone can have an influence on organizational change. And that change starts with an activity that's out of the ordinary!
