[cml_media_alt id='5352']27 how teambuilding can take unexpected turns[/cml_media_alt]

Every year, companies allocate substantial budgets to teambuilding activities. The process of team development is critical for companies, and there are many companies in this industry that offer a wide range of experiences - some positive, some less positive due to misunderstandings in understanding the goals and expectations of teams.

All this has led to confusion among companies and their employees about ce is a teambuilding, results it if cum should be.

What are the most unfortunate teambuilding scenarios that come to mind? Here's a selection:
- Participants have no input on the event activity;
- Participation is compulsory;
- The environment is not friendly;
- The tone of the whole event is too serious and authoritative, with no social and fun elements;
- Activities focus only on what is wrong with the team (company);
- The event is not personalized;
- The activities are extremely demanding and not suitable for the age and physical condition of the group of participants;
- Activities are not collaborative;
- Water, food and breaks between activities are insufficient;
- The person responsible for the group in the decision-making structure is not present;
- The expectations of the participants are not met, on the contrary, they leave more disconnected and demoralized about teamwork.

Of course, these are some extreme examples of DON'Ts. On this occasion, you can figure out what you want to avoid when planning or implementing a teambuilding activity and make sure that your team gets the best teambuilding experience.

Recent, HSBC has sacked a group of employees who posted a video of themselves pretending to be Islamic militants and performing a beheading. The video was part of a teambuilding exercise.

Asadar, alegerea activitatilor potrivite profilului echipei, cat si a furnizorului de teambuilding sunt doua dintre cele mai importante elemente pentru reusita unui eveniment corporate. Dupa stabilirea acestora briefing-ul si asteparile participantilor joaca un rol primordial pana la finalizarea intregii activitati.
