Our friends over at TeamBonding have tons of great tips and suggestions for team building, and we particularly love their recent blog post reminding employees to pay special attention to interns and intern orientation.
Interns offer a unique opportunity to evaluate, develop, and, theoretically, hire in-house talent. But while businesses are often busy grooming their interns, they may not realize that interns can use their time in the office to evaluate whether this is a company they’d want to work for in the future.
That’s why it’s important for companies to make sure their interns are treated well, and the best way to do that is to get off on the right foot from the very beginning.
Intern orientation lays the foundation for the intern experience within the company and it’s critical to make sure you dedicate the necessary time and resources to ensure this is a great event.
Check out TeamBonding’s intern orientation checklist and the goals they suggest promoting at your orientation here.
And may we suggest incorporating a little team building into the day?
This is a large group of people coming together likely for the first time. It’s critical to make sure they get to know one another quickly, and what better way to do that than with a team building activity? It doesn’t have to be a full-feature event like a tour with Museum Hack or an outing to Chelsea Piers, but take a little time to engage in an in-office team building activity to break the ice and get everyone feeling a little bit more comfortable in their company.
The NFL offseason is in full swing, but that doesn’t mean one pro team isn’t taking every opportunity to gel off-the-field with the hopes that it just may improve team chemistry on the field.
Earlier this month, the Tenneeseean reported that the Tennessee Titans’ organization came together to help mothers and their babies in need of help in the Nashville area. It was the second annual Titan Up for Tots Baby Shower event where players, coaches, front office staff, and even the team’s cheerleaders came together to fill almost 2,000 baby bags with all sorts of necessities for moms and their children.
Head coach Mike Mularkey thinks the experience off the field will help the team reap rewards on game day. He told the Tennesseean:
“Everything we do is team building. It really is. This is great. It’s fun to watch these guys, they’ve been out here for two hours practicing. They’ve been here all day and they come out here and have a little fun together. And it’s for a good cause.”
The team’s general manager liked Mularkey’s approach, noting:

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.

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.
