CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOPS

ENHANCING EMPLOYEE BONDING AND MORALE

A team building workshop involves a series of interactive games and activities that get employees to bond. It is usually presented to the group as a fun activity day rather than mentioning that there are any issues. The company thought it was a good idea to get together and have fun so that everyone could bond. It is not even really misleading since that is exactly what is happening.

YES AND...
Our activities generally begin with the concept of Yes, And... The idea is that participants have to hear what someone says and agree that what is said is 100% correct. In fact, they have to then add an idea to it and build upon that initial idea. This leads to very strange and fun conversations. More importantly, they are trained to be open to ideas from others in the group and to look to support others. This builds trust and the laughter bonds the employees.

PING PONG
A collaborative exercise involves a conversation between two participants. They get a list of ten random words from the group and work together to make a ten sentence conversation that uses those words in order. It requires being totally open and comfortable with one another while also thinking quickly on their feet. This is fun and random while usually getting laughs.

Other exercises involve story telling, bonding through group activities and learning the value of being in the moment. Being more present enables people to think on their feet and have mental agility. All of these bond the employees and the content can be adjusted to teach a variety of values to serve the different purposes of a team building workshop.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

We help to develop the skills to overcome stress in the workplace and to learn how to find amicable ways of settling disputes.

MORALE

Using our techniques we can improve the attitudes of employees and help them to feel more a part of the company than apart from the company.

NEW MANAGEMENT STAFF

A change in corporate culture isn't always easy. We help to adjust to new management staff and to bond that staff with each other and their employees.

NEWLY FORMED GROUP

Newly formed groups take time to learn about one another and develop a level of trust. We can speed that process to become productive.

OVERCOMING SILO MENTALITY

There is a tendency for groups to isolate themselves from other parts of the organization and distrust others. We develop bonds between groups.

VIRTUAL TEAMS

As employees work remotely, there is an increased sense of isolation, decreased communication and a general mistrust. We help overcome those limitations.

WHY COMEDY
Having people laugh along the way makes them more open to new ideas and more likely to take lessons to heart. We bring funny people that can deliver serious amounts of information in an amusing manner. This helps to make any session more effective.

A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH
Let's be honest, team building has a bad reputation among many employees. The average employee thinks of team building as listening to a hippie in Birkenstocks talk about auras and energy. The reality of the experience is much different. Our professionals come from the business world. Our team building workshops are designed with true practical goals in mind.

CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING EVENTS

WHAT GOALS HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED?

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING: - By understanding each other and knowing each others' goals and aspirations, everyone is in a better position to help each other and to motivate employees.
GROUP SPIRIT: - A group of individuals just isn't as effective as a group working together. We work towards creating something of a unified spirit without losing their individuality.
TEAMWORK: - Often organizations suffer from duplication of effort and micro-management. We assist teams to trust one another more completely. This includes entrusting someone with tasks and then living up to that trust. Taking responsibility and accomplishing what someone sets out to do. We also encourage checking each other's work, but as a means to improve one-another instead of being seen as a punishment or lack of trust.
A FEELING OF APPRECIATION: - Setting goals for employees to motivate them to achieve greater success is highly important. Having a way to show that you appreciate their efforts while utilizing performances that are more acceptable as an expense is vital. We have a selection of meetings and incentives awards programs that get people laughing and having a good time while bonding with fellow employees.

With years of experience providing corporate team building services, the staff of THEY improv bring their business consulting skills to solve your employee bonding needs. Whether you are looking for help in achieving corporate culture change, merger or acquisition assimilation, new management teams, improving morale, overcoming silo mentality, or dealing with the isolation of virtual work groups, we can assist you in unique ways.

WE LISTEN TO YOU
Prior to any corporate team building workshop, THEY improv listens to your needs and consults with you to determine the particular needs of your group, issues that need to be considered, timing, location and budget concerns to customize a program to help achieve the needs of the company in the best way possible.

Beyond companies, we can also develop programs for church groups, fraternal organizations, Non-Profit Charities, political campaigns and just about any other type of group looking to improve the quality of their workers or volunteers.

WE CARE FOR YOU! We care for you and your guests. We will discuss your desires for safety measures regarding Covid-19 and want you to feel secure in the knowledge that we are looking out for you, our client.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment.

We provide corporate team building workshops throughout the United States, and even beyond! Wherever you might be along the Atlantic Coast, the MidWest, the South, the West Coast, or anywhere else, we stand ready to help your group to have fun. This includes in the big cities, the suburbs, or further outside the urban areas. We do not provide the food or the venue. We come to you and help educate your employees while they have a great time!

WE COME TO YOU!
We work with groups that are small, medium and large. We also work with people that are in the city, the suburbs, and that are in more rural areas. It never made sense to get our own facilities. We come to a venue of your choosing and this allows you to make your own food and beverage options. In general, you want enough light to see, enough space to move around comfortably, and it should be quiet enough to hear. Everything else can be adjusted to. We also have our insurance in order and can have COIs with your venue as an additional insured, if required.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS THE REASON?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
