What is corporate teambuilding and why does Forbes says “It’s the most important investment you can make for your business success”?
What is Team Building?
Team building is the process of creating a cohesive team through various tasks/activities. It usually is organized to include goals that individuals need to work together to achieve. For example, working in a large group to complete a scavenger hunt focusing on teamwork, collaboration, and communication. However, team building can also support the daily interactions between employees and create a dynamic team naturally and slowly.
What is CORPORATE team building?
Corporate team building is when companies reach out to external facilitators in order to maximize their employee’s potential. Compared to internal activities that might be hosted, an experienced facilitator will have the skills to know how to optimize and curate specific activities to accomplish goals.

Why is Teambuilding important?
Now you might be wondering, how is this information relevant and why should people even engage in team building. Team building can come in many different forms. From a department picnic, or holiday party, to even a corporate retreat. The goal is really that you engage all your employees to create a better work environment.
Effective team building means having more engaged employees who have enhanced communication skills, collaboration, and overall efficiency. Working in a business environment should mean feeling valued, respected, and comfortable. What that might look like for everyone can vary, but the goal of team building is to create a work culture that exemplifies company ideals and makes for a positive, conducive environment to work in.
How can team building make a difference in my company?
Most companies have been shifting to a hybrid working environment in the past few months. Although this change has been welcomed by many, there are also new struggles that come from creating connections virtually and in real life. With effective team building, employees are more likely to be engaged and have higher satisfaction and employee loyalty. All of which contribute to creating an effective and dynamic team that fosters organizational development.
How can I implement team building today?
A simple start to implementing team building in the workplace today is to set clear team goals and allow for open and honest communication. Having a foundation of trust and clear objectives will encourage growth and responsibility for a team. Open dialogue, including feedback and new ideas, motivates employees to share perspectives and insights that might otherwise be withheld. Creating diverse and inclusive teams and assigning direct roles to team members is a great start to increasing productivity.
