Ways To Get Your Workforce Working Together Properly With Team Building Exercises

In the current economy commercial organisations have to look at every aspect of their business. Not only the costs, overheads and general profitability but at the staff they employ to ensure that all employees are working at their best in the most advantageous conditions. One of the areas that may be explored by the management team is the skills employees have in working together as a team. If the company feel that the staff would be aided in this area they may choose to take advantage of the many team building centres that are throughout the country.

The Pit-Stop Challenge is one of these team building exercises that has proven successful over the last few years. We've all seen where this idea came from. The pit team at real formula 1 races who carry out tyre changes, re-fuelling and several other jobs in a few seconds amazing the spectating masses nearly as much as the race itself. The efficiency of the pit-stop team could decide the results of the race. It is essential that they turn it around in as little time as possible. Every member of the garage team know exactly the role they have and how and when they have to do it.

You can now hire the facilities to carry out this challenge as a team-building day out for your work force, they can work as a team to replicate the exact procedures carried out by the real f1 team. A leader must be allocated before they start and that person must decide who is to carry out each job. It can be quite delicate work and of course, if the strict safety procedures are not adhered to it could result in injury. This type of exercise provides the ideal situation for team building and highlights the need for working together as a cohesive unit to achieve success.

The companies who provide the venues for such team building exercises often provide other activities such as simulators so visitors are able to take advantage of whatever is available. Most venues will offer tailored made days for 10 to 100 members of staff and many of the activities come with competitions that are on running to see how your staff have compared with other companies in time trials and the like.

Such a strenuous day will be concluded by an evening function, dinner and prize giving ceremonies. This allows your team to relax and compare notes with other groups on the differing events. A venture of this nature provides excellent opportunities for all your staff to not only bond with each other but to really appreciate the importance of working as one unit and respecting their own role and that of the leader. Success depends on the essential component of being a team.
