Many bosses have already found that teamwork exercises can help achieve company goals and integrate the team. Sometimes, however, the use of solutions seen in a movie or in a book does not serve the team at all, quite the opposite. So how to choose exercises for the nature of the company, team and individual participants?
Integration events with elements of teambuilding are gaining great popularity because they give measurable benefits under the guise of simple fun. Instead of organizing training and then sending the team on vacation separately, you can combine the two. How? By proposing teamwork exercises that everyone will enjoy. Of course, only if you properly adjust them to the needs of a given group.
Exercises for cooperation in a team with unusual needs
The most common problem is when the idea for exercises for team cooperation arises in isolation from the possibilities and needs in a given company. For example, a complex team game is planned outdoors in the rain or at a company headquarters where there is no room for it. Therefore, it will be much better to focus on an external center, optimally if it is located away from the company.
That way you know it's there conference room matched to the needs, and your team gains distance from office everyday life, which translates into greater creativity and a more unconventional approach to the tasks or games you prepare for them.
Take into account the age and condition of the participants. If you prefer not to risk sports events, choose something less demanding. What will work? For example, theater or playing outdoor chess, where the pawns are team members. Where the team is young, quite well-coordinated and not afraid of challenges, you can think about paintball or a Goldberg machine.
Universal teambuilding exercises

In the past, they were stereotypically associated with the distant world by managers of large companies or directors. Today, on the wave of popularity of culinary shows, everyone wants to be like Nigella Lawson or Magda Gessler. The difficulty of tasks in the kitchen can be cleverly graded, from simple activities in a group, such as decorating cookies and making dumplings, to more difficult ones and those for completely advanced.
