With A Focus On Team Building Lake Geneva WI Companies Foster Employee Loyalty

By Martha Long


The days when companies were structured like pyramids are long gone. The modern trend is to put together smaller groups of employees that all have a common goal and that is willing to take responsibility for their output. They are often empowered to make certain decisions themselves and there are often no specific person tasked with leading the group. When this system works well, it works very well, but groups often experience problems. By sending them for team building Lake Geneva WI employers try to strengthen such groups.

Group excursions have become extremely popular and the reasons for such excursions differ wildly. Employers may simply wish to motivate or reward the group, but in many instances they want to improve the way that the group works together. This can be achieved by improving communication, by enhancing the creativity of group members and by teaching them how to manage conflict in the work place.

The team build industry have shown tremendous growth. There are numerous venues, facilitators, motivational speakers and a host of other professionals that have seen the opportunities and that advertise their services. Many venues have done whatever they can to make themselves attractive for this market by building obstacle courses and by purchasing equipment designed to create more cohesive groups.

Event organizers should be evaluated carefully. Many in this field think that a team build exercise is nothing more than a short holiday that requires the booking of a venue, organizing some group activities and generally making sure that the participants have a good time. Professionals know that the group is sent on an excursion for a very specific purpose.

Before potential facilitators can be asked to submit proposals and quotations they should be thoroughly briefed. The client should clearly stipulate the purpose of the excursion and the objectives they hope to achieve in the process. Facilitators also need detailed information regarding the work performed by the team and their demographic make up. A proposed program can only be developed with this information at hand.

When evaluating different proposals the overriding priority should be whether the exercise is likely to achieve its aim or not. Of course, cost is important but it is of little use to save a little bit but get absolutely no return on the investment made. Facilitators should also present their clients with at least some options regarding the activities planned, the venue that will be used and the order of the day to day program.

Once such an exercise is completed feedback should be obtained from both the facilitator and the participants. Facilitators ordinarily submit a confidential report. Participants should also submit a group report but it is often valuable to ask each individual to complete a confidential questionnaire. In some cases this feedback can help identify further development needs and lead to further interventions.

Modern businesses can only grow if they remain innovative, productive and creative. This require employee groups that are enthusiastic about their work, motivated to achieve excellent results and that work well together. Team build exercises often play a large role in helping to achieve these aims.
