Perhaps you have noticed that your co-workers may not have
close relationships with the people they work with. Unfortunately, most of the
‘icebreakers’ used in corporate office meetings are unpleasant and awkward for
everyone. From dinner shows to sports and games, here are a few creative ideas for getting your coworkers to bond
without having to resort to lame get-to-know-you-games.
1. Volunteering
Coordinating an employee volunteering activity is a great
way to spur team building with your coworkers and give your company a pleasant
public image by giving back to the community. Studies have shown that offering
to pay employees while they do a day of volunteer work causes the employees to
come back to work re-energized and recovered from any work stresses they may
have had.
2. Sporting or Skill Events
Sporting events can be a sensitive activity for many
offices, as not all of your co-workers will have the same level of fitness or
motor coordination. However, by choosing a low-impact friendly form of
exercises such as bowling teams, walking groups, or company-sponsored charity
walks and runs, you are communicating your company’s commitment to employee
health, work satisfaction, and team spirit.
3. Company Field Trips
While it may seem rather elementary, field trips can be
useful for employees, as it gets them out of the workplace and allows them to
learn new things and generate new experiences. Consider having your employees
visit another company in your product or service’s production chain to see how
their work impacts others, and learn more about the industry.
4. Dinner Shows
Sharing a meal has long been proven as a great way to bond
socially with other people. Whether celebrating a coworker’s birthday or
retirement, or just meeting up to eat and see live entertainment, such as a
play or an exhibit of live combative jousting!
