Monotonous meetings and boring seminars are no longer enough to inspire enthusiasm among employees. This is one of the reasons why many companies (including yours, most likely) are committed to promoting a dynamic, collaborative and healthy working environment. But this challenge raises a number of questions and issues that need to be addressed. Among these, professional development and employee well-being are essential.
Fortunately, there are innovative solutions for developing a positive corporate culture. Outdoor team building in an adventure park is one of the most effective! There are many benefits to organising such an activity. Focus.
Strengthen your team’s cohesion
Currently, less than 30% of employees report working collaboratively on a daily basis (source: Ipsos).
Teaching team members to trust each other, communicate effectively and work together to overcome obstacles is no easy task. Participating in outdoor activities in a natural environment is therefore an excellent initiative.
This is the case, for example, when organising an outdoor escape game in which employees must communicate effectively to solve a puzzle.
This shared experience creates strong bonds that translate into better collaboration within the company.
Stimulate your employees’ creativity
The natural environment of an adventure park provides an ideal playground for stimulating creativity and innovation.
By stepping outside the traditional office setting, you encourage your employees to think differently, explore new ideas and find original solutions to various problems.
For many of them, this experience could be a step outside their comfort zone, opening up new perspectives.
Promoting employee wellbeing
Spending time outdoors, surrounded by nature, is beneficial for employees’ mental and physical health. In fact, it is even referred to as outdoor therapy.
Team building in an adventure park surrounded by nature is a welcome break from the hectic pace of everyday work.
It is an excellent choice that allows colleagues to recharge and revitalise themselves while eliminating accumulated stress.
Encourage everyone to get involved
According to a recent Gallup report entitled ‘State of the Global Workplace Report 2022’, European employees have the lowest engagement rate in the world.
More specifically, France stands out with one of the lowest engagement rates in Europe, reaching only 6%.
To reverse this trend, outdoor team-building activities are essential. They offer employees the opportunity to actively engage in achieving a specific goal and contribute to the team’s success.
Thus, by feeling valued and seeing the tangible results of their teamwork, each member of the team will be more motivated and committed to their work.
Boost productivity
It has now been established that happiness at work leads to a 31% increase in productivity (joint study by Harvard and MIT*).
Furthermore, this study reveals that happy employees are half as likely to fall ill and six times less likely to take time off work. In addition, they also demonstrate a 55% increase in creativity.
This adventure park experience will therefore promote the wellbeing of your employees and colleagues. You will also reap huge benefits in terms of productivity.
As you can see, organising a team-building event at an outdoor adventure park is an immersive and stimulating experience. It is a choice that goes beyond simple team-building activities.
By combining the benefits of outdoor physical activity with professional development goals, this approach is key to creating strong, motivated teams that are ready to take on any challenge.
