5. Celebrate successes
Benefits of team building programs:
Although developing and implementing strong team frameworks within your business is crucial, engaging actively in team building activities can drastically strengthen any team.
Recent research has in fact revealed that “companies with engaged employees earn up to 2.5 times more income than competitors whose employees have a low engagement level. What is more, employees with a high engagement level are 87% less likely to leave a company than employees with a low engagement level.”
In addition to this, over “85% of all workplace failures have been attributed to lack of collaboration and/or ineffective communication and that only 50% of employees believe that their organization discusses issues in a truthful, effective manner.”
Here are some of the many benefits of team-building:
- Increase productivity
- Improve mental health and happiness
- Increase confidence
- Strengthen team leaders
- Increased morale and confidence
