Is your team facing…
Low production? Communication gaps? Poor morale? Trouble collaborating?
…then you need to build your team back up!
This is how we keep great people! Team building must be part of your retention program.
Do you think fancy lunches work? Nope. Here’s why:
We always say, “If they’re laughing, they’re learning!” Engaging a team to let their guards down and laugh a little together does more for them physically and emotionally than any fancy lunch ever will. Give them something to sustain them for life, not for a few hours.
Team building aligned with the culture you want to develop is the best way to create a foundation for retaining employees. It improves team communication, builds stronger relationships, gives everyone a sense of belonging, and clarifies how the team should treat each other daily.
Enemy #1 of Team Building
When we find a business owner who knows their team is capable of much more than they’re accomplishing or teams are experiencing bottlenecks in production, there’s one underlying factor: a lack of clarity.
Top 3 areas where clarity lacks:
Purpose of the company (i.e., mission, vision, values, core principles)
Roles and responsibilities of teammates and their unique gifts and talents
Communication, specifically self-awareness and interpersonal skill development
People spend a lot of time making assumptions – and all it is, is time waster and energy sucker!
Team building workshops can be a catalyst for creating clarity and changing some cultural barriers that occur in most workplaces.
It’s important to gather the team to eat, learn, and grow together.
5 Common Pitfalls of Team Building
I am always surprised at the pressure we put on business owners to “just know” how to create camaraderie, connection, and collaboration within their team. To do it well, you need to understand human behavior and have the time and patience to orchestrate it.
Here are 5 common pitfalls business owners and managers make with team building:
Lack of clear objectives for team building
Scheduling outside of normal business hours
Allowing selected team members to opt out and work
Cell phone distractions
Thinking that paying for lunch is team building
A team building strategy is just as important as your revenue generation, marketing strategy, and hiring and onboarding strategy.
