You’ve been working in the same office for two years and yet you still have no idea of the name is of the guy in accounts or the lady on reception. Sound familiar? It’s amazing how we can work with so many people on a daily basis and still know so little about them. Head down and working hard, we can often forget that our colleagues have another life outside of work. Team building activities are an excellent way to overcome this and encourage employees to bond. By strengthening relationships out of work, relationships within the workplace will also improve and as a result, are more likely to generate a more productive, enjoyable working environment.

Team building exercises serve to bring together a working community, improve relations and generally facilitate a happier office environment once everyone is back at work.

Personally, I would have bet my last fiver that creating tensions between workers would stir up any underlying tensions, and maybe end in a non-planned boxing event at one of these team building retreats.

Thinking types make Decisions in a logical and analytical way. Before they commit to and support a Decision, everything about the subject has to be perfectly clear. They prefer to be objective and are somewhat detached, which tends to earn them the label of being impersonal. Thinkers weigh the pros and cons and take a step back to analyze the situation, logically and impersonally, asking themselves if this makes sense and what are the ramifications of the decision. Thinkers objectify the decision.
