Take the first step in transforming your dreams into reality.

In-person team building lifts employee engagement because it gives people what a video call can’t: unscheduled time together, and something they did as a group. It works best when the activity is one people would choose, the agenda leaves room to talk, and everyone knows why the team is in the same place.

What is team building?

Team building is any shared experience designed to help people trust each other and work better together. It can be a half-day activity during an offsite, a dinner with a purpose, or a trip that brings a distributed team into one place.

How team building affects employee engagement

Engagement grows when people feel connected to their colleagues and to the reason the company exists. A well-designed team experience builds both. People who have cooked together, raced together or solved a problem in an unfamiliar place carry that back to their Monday meetings. The effect fades fast if the day feels compulsory, so start from what this team would enjoy.

Benefits of in-person team building

  • Trust. People who have met in person give each other the benefit of the doubt.
  • Communication. Cross-team relationships formed in a room make the next email shorter.
  • Belonging. Especially for hybrid and remote teams, a shared experience is often the moment people feel part of the company.
  • Retention. People are slower to leave a team they feel part of.
  • Energy. A break from routine, built with care, says the company invests in its people.

Team building ideas that build engagement

  • Cook with a chef. A private class where the team makes dinner together.
  • A challenge with a stake. A race day, a sailing regatta or a scavenger hunt through a city they don’t know.
  • Give back together. A half-day with a local cause, chosen by the team.
  • A learning experience. A session with an athlete, artist or expert, followed by a conversation.
  • The dinner that ends the offsite. After the breakouts, one evening that is about the team and nothing else.

How to plan team building people want to attend

  1. Ask the team. What would they enjoy, and what would they dread?
  2. Tie it to a purpose. A new team, a hard year, a big launch. Say why you are bringing people together.
  3. Keep the agenda light. The value is in the time between activities.
  4. Make it inclusive. Activities everyone can join, whatever their fitness, diet or schedule.
  5. Hand off the details. Give travel and timing to one owner, and let the leaders be guests for the day.

Questions

Is in-person team building better than virtual?
Virtual activities keep teams connected between meetups. In-person experiences build the trust that makes the virtual ones work. Most teams need some of both.

How often should teams meet in person?
For distributed teams, at least once or twice a year, usually tied to planning or a milestone.

Who should plan it?
Someone who knows the team well, with help on the logistics so they can enjoy it too.
