Corporate events are designed to get your staff working together as a team and by putting them out of their comfort zone they can help your staff learn to rely on each other for support, as well as helping them to get to know each other better. By making your staff learn to connect, other than just through their business mobile phones, it will help improve the productivity of your business.
Golf
A game of golf is a good way to get your staff working together and gets them out of the office and into the open air for a change. Organise staff into teams of four and have them compete against each other. Pick the groups carefully by mixing staff up a bit. Separate friendship groups and those that work in the same department, and also mix up managers with employees. By starting everyone off as equals you will find that the competition runs a lot more smoothly.
Secret agents
Give your staff a challenge and have them complete a secret mission. Divide your staff into pairs and give them instructions regarding where you have hidden clues around the city, or where they must find certain landmarks to tick off their list. This will take some coordination and planning but your staff will have a great time working out cryptic clues and travelling all over the city to find them. Have a prize for the winning pair that make it to the final check point first.
Drumming workshop
A drumming workshop involves having people playing enormous drums in unison. What better way to get your staff working together. If they don't work together they won't be in harmony and the whole rhythm with be thrown. Have staff attend the workshop to learn how to play a specific piece and then have them perform it later than night for family at a dinner.
Go karting
As well as being good fun go karts are a good equaliser as they don't take any particular special skill to drive and they also handle differently depending on the weight of the driver. Zooming around a track at top speed can be good to reduce stress and having a few good natured races will get a bit of healthy competition going between your staff. Most go kart tracks will having catering available so plan your day around a midday meal.
Circus skills
Why not try a day of learning circus skills? It is certainly something that is original and will give your staff an unusual set of skills to take home. As well as having a go on the trapeze or learning more dangerous stunts your staff can also have a go at learning how to juggle, balance on gigantic balls or work with the animals. A day of learning circus skills will cater for everyone, with those not brave enough to have a go on the high wire being able to keep their feet firmly on the ground and try learning some magic tricks.
