In most companies today working in a team is essential. In healthy company cultures team bonding is a priority. Why? Because if they’re happy, everyone’s happy ?

Besides having fun and sharing awesome experiences, outside the office bonding also helps getting to know each other better and foster collaboration and better communication.

Most of you already know this but now you’re wondering – ok so, what can we do that is both fun, challenging, easy to book and especially something that people in your team really want to do?

Here’s 3 ideas that will boost your team spirit while having fun:

River Rafting – A cool Outdoorsy experience

Now that summer’s just around the corner (hopefully the rain will stop soon) maybe you’re in the mood to explore the outdoors. This is a bonding experience like no other and the thrills of crashing through waves will definitely keep the adrenaline flowing.

Why go rafting with your team mates?

Besides fun and a good splash of adrenaline there are also some benefits to consider while team-rafting:

Work together – like any other team project at work or in day to day life, rafting involves people working together. It’s pretty important that everyone plays their part and especially in sync with the others. This might be a cool wake-up call for your people to understand how every role impacts the team and project scope overall.

Build Trust – the base for any functional team is trust. You don’t have to be friends but you have to trust each team player to do their part. Rafting is a fun way to build it along your people.

Get to know each other  – out of the comfort zone. Why it matters? Because getting to know the people you work with day by day gives you insight on their skills, approach and how they deal with stuff in different situations. And when they get out of the comfort zone it might surprise you 😀

So go, explore and come back for more!

Room Escape

If your team-mates are not really the adventurous type, but still love a good challenge – Room Escape might be a cool option for you. It involves a good dose of mystery and problem solving activities. Oh, and of course, you have 1 hour to solve it.

Manage a Crisis situation – this is a good test or training for solving a crisis situation. When we say crisis, we talk about time. Sure, you can find great solutions when you have all the time in the world. But in real life, that almost never happens. Usually, everything is urgent. You have a problem and one hour to solve it. Can your team take it?

Team roles & leading – in order to solve the challenge in time you need really good coordination and communication. Everyone has to know the big picture, progress and play their part. If your team is big and scattered all over the place you might risk doing the same thing twice or missing clues or even going off rails and miss the scope. But this is both challenging and fun so we’re sure you’ll make the most out of it.

So, get your Sherlock mood on and let the game begin!

Craft Beer Tasting

If you don’t feel the nature calling nor the challenge of problem solving, you might want to try something more laidback. How about a craft beer tasting? I mean, who doesn’t love great beer and cool stories?

Why go craft beer tasting with your team?

Because it’s about bonding – nothing brings people together than an awesome shared experience. Over yumsy beers.

And how cool is it to learn while drinking? Beer is an experience itself but learning what’s in your glass is really worth your time.

So, there you have it, 3 cool ways to bond with your team.
