Team Building with Corporate Fitness

What is Team Building?

Team building is a term used to describe different types of activities that are carried out by groups or organisations to improve social relationships. The aim is to get all team members participating in activities that are challenging and fun, where they work together as a team, supporting and encouraging one another to overcome challenges.

Team Building in the Workplace

If you want to get the best out of your staff, Team Building is an important process to engage in. Although it is important, individual talent rarely decides the fate of a project or business. It is almost always the combined effort of the entire team that eventually decides the success or failure of a project or business. We all know the expression ‘a chain is only as strong as it’s weakest link.’ By engaging in team building activities you aim to increase the strength of the whole chain, not just select individuals.

Why is Team Building Important?

In an office or work environment, Team Building helps to foster open communication between the employees themselves, as well as between the employees and the higher management. It plays an important role in improving professional relationships, understanding and co-operation, and this is reflected in the quality of work being done. Team building in the workplace increases employee motivation and builds trust among the employees, which improves productivity.

How does Corporate Fitness promote Team Building?

Our group fitness sessions are aimed at gaining maximum participation, and having employees working together to challenge themselves. We often utilize partner exercises where team mates work in tandem to complete exercises. All members of the group support and encourage each other throughout the session, and each completed session is a combined achievement to celebrate. Not to mention the good endorphins exercise produces can help foster happy relationships and wipe away the stress of a tough day in the office!
