Many Corporate Employees Achieve Self Empowerment Through Team Building

By Brian Young


The way in which businesses are run have change in many ways over the past decade or two. Employees no longer merely follow instructions received from above but are instead organized into self directed teams. These teams each have certain goals to achieve and every member of the team has a clearly defined role to play. However, for such a system to work a high level of trust and cooperation between all members of the teas are required. To this end, employers routinely promote self empowerment through team building.

The primary purpose of teambuilding exercises is to remove teams from the work environment to a place where they can concentrate on the achievement of certain objectives. In some cases this may be to help teams to resolve conflict. In other cases the members need to get to know each other better outside the work place. The central idea is always to build more motivated teams that will perform better.

Teambuilding exercises have become so popular that an entire industry has sprung up. Event organizers, venues, caterers, entertainers and a host of other professionals in the hospitality and human resources development industries have all realized that this is a lucrative market and that many companies are willing to spend huge amounts on these exercises. Many venues have even purchased costly equipment and constructed facilities that cater specifically for teambuilding events.

Most companies will hire an independent even organizer to make all the arrangements for a teambuilding outing. The organizer should ideally be someone with ample experience in leading teams that needs to achieve similar objectives during the event. He should also take responsibility for organizing the event, putting together a program of activities and arranging for transport. Top organizers demand high fees but they handle all matters related to the entire exercise.

Teambuilding experts cannot organize a useful event if they are not properly briefed on the purpose of the exercise. They need this information in order to book the best venue, speakers and activities that will ensure that the objectives of the exercise are achieved. Top event organizers will take care of all the arrangements. They will book the venue, caterers and other role players necessary to conduct the various activities.

Many corporate teams see their teambuilding exercises as some type of holiday outing. That is why it is vital to make sure that all participants are fully informed about the goals of the exercise and that they commit themselves to their achievement. It is also important to allow the participants some input in the program and the venue. Top event organizers always have several options to present to his clients.

It is necessary to know whether a teambuilding exercise has achieved its goals or not. That is why evaluation is important. The event coordinator as well as the participants needs to give feedback constantly and when the event is done, they need to submit reports. If this is not done, there is no way of knowing whether further interventions are required or whether existing objectives have been achieved.

The business environment is competitive and only those companies that can remain innovative can hope to thrive. This, in turn, requires innovative and motivated teams that consistently achieve their goals. Teambuilding exercise can be very valuable in this regard.
