Posted on | by Carly Syms

Many times, corporate team building is seen as an activity that’s perfect for the entire company or for entire groups within an organization, and that’s very true. But there’s an often-overlooked area of corporate team building that we want to highlight in today’s post, and that’s team building for your leaders.

3 Fun, Effective Corporate Team Building Activities in New York

Posted on | by Carly Syms

We’ve spent a lot of time on the blog lately talking about why you should invest in corporate team building for your employees and your company, but today we’d like to look at what you should do when you make the great decision to invest in a team bonding event in New York.

TeamBuildNYC is full of wonderful companies that all offer fantastic team building activities throughout the Big Apple. Below are some of our favorite activities:

  • Pick up a new skill in the kitchen. There are several fabulous cooking class companies here on TeamBuildNYC. There’s nothing like coming together as a group around the stove and with a delicious meal. Can you think of anyone on your team who wouldn’t want to get out of the office, let loose, and take in an incredible lunch all at the same time? We didn’t think so!
  • Laugh. Learn how to make others laugh. Improv is a sneaky team building event because you don’t necessarily realize you’re bonding – or picking up great new skills that will translate well to the office. Improv is all about thinking fast on your feet, coming up with quick and creative solutions that will keep people happy, and keeping your cool under pressure. Who doesn’t want those traits in their employees?
  • Be active. Nothing gets the creative juices flowing quite like the smell of competition. Find something fun and unique for your team building activity – may we suggest a scavenger hunt or a giant organized game of adult tag? Perhaps you think your team might like to battle a herd of zombies. No matter what your team’s interests are, you can no doubt find an incredible team building company to match.

We spend a lot of time here at TeamBuildNYC talking about company team building events. These are all intentional team building activities where a business makes a conscious decision to invest in and reap the rewards of professional team development. We don’t, however, spend a lot of time talking about what happens to the team that’s gone through training when they’re back in the daily grind at the office.

A recent blog post at TeamBonding.com got us thinking – there are opportunities for companies to reap the rewards of team building around them. The good folks over at TeamBonding.com were building a new website and by the end of the project, they realized it had been a complete and total team effort – one that wouldn’t have been possible without such a strong, cohesive unit.
