Why is team building a key aspect in today’s modern workplace? With the employee market being ever-changing, incorporating innovations in corporate team building is as important as ever to ensure employees are engaged and satisfied in their roles.
The term team building encompasses a wide range of activities- whether that’s a team lunch, social gatherings after work, fun team competitions or intensive leadership development workshops- each team building activity helps build a strong team ethic of connectivity, trust and confidence. It is worthwhile to think of a high-performance corporate team as a jigsaw puzzle- this requires many pieces put together, such as work environment, benefits and leadership to be successful. Of this- ‘team building’ is an essential piece to complete the puzzle of a high-performance team.
Despite team building consisting of a wide variety of activities, it’s also paramount that from time to time, these corporate activities provide a source of innovation, charity and CSR team building. In doing so, this will give employees a source of motivation, innovation and inspiration which is vital for employee retention.
When team building activities are innovative and engaging, they capture employee interest and enthusiasm much more effectively than conventional methods such as team lunches or outside of work social activities. Innovative team building demonstrates the company’s commitment to investing in their employees’ growth and well-being, subsequently increasing employee retention rates, which helps to improve financial performance in the long run. Utilising unique and thoughtfully designed charity team building activities, such as Lightbulb Teams’ ‘Give a Hand’, ‘WaterWorks’ and ‘Toy for Life’ programmes will foster stronger team collaboration, improve communication and enhance problem-solving skills within the team. Utilising charity team building programmes like the Lightbulb Teams’ initiatives boost morale and thus, job satisfaction as employees feel engaged, valued and appreciated because they are doing meaningful work that will make a difference to the world outside their work. The end result will have a major, positive impact on the overall success of the organisation.
Lightbulb Teams provides corporations with an abundance of innovative team building programmes which hone in on the theme of charity team building, using the power of business as a force for good and positive change.
The Give a Hand programme is a highly challenging yet rewarding charity team building experience which demonstrates teams’ attitudes and determination to tackle problems which in turn make a positive, life changing difference for the future of those less fortunate. This activity is a truly innovative workshop firstly due to its inclusion of a keynote which is co-authored in collaboration with each individual organisation to align with company goals, objectives and missions. Secondly, each team will receive a self-build prosthetic hand kit which will be constructed from scratch. These will then be fitted to a child or adult in need, who has lost a limb.
This method of charity team building brings legacy, purpose and impact to life in a real and tangible way. A unique source of innovation, the team gains the ability to confront challenges head on, a greater appreciation for things they normally take for granted, an enhanced sense of team collaboration and a renewed purpose and determination to overcome setbacks and challenges. All of these experiences are paramount for a successful workplace.
Charity team building like the Lightbulb Teams ‘Give a Hand’ programme is one which leaves a lasting impact on employees because of the personal touches which each prosthetic hand includes; from building it by hand and adding a personal message to the recipient, to sending it directly across the world to a developing country. The Give a Hand programme is designed to grant employee satisfaction.
It is as important as ever to empower employees with innovative charity team building programmes, to inspire their personal passions and to implement creativity and motivation in the workplace.
