How to unlock the hidden talents of your workforce

For a business to succeed and grow the bottom line must show continual growth in efficiency, productivity and profitability, and this is even more important in difficult economic climates.  We all know that the greatest asset of our business is our staff so we must maximise this precious resource, not just to improve productivity and efficiency for the company, but to ensure job satisfaction and enjoyment for the staff.  But how many times have you invested time and money in training a person only for them to leave you and move to another company who will reap the rewards of your training?

But this doesn’t have to be the case. Have a look at your own business; many of your staff may have untapped skills which go unrecognised, or they aren’t given the opportunity to develop their full potential so they get frustrated and leave.  But there is a way to unlock and nurture these hidden skills and that is through team building events.

Professionally devised team building days can make a huge difference to a company’s success.  You only have to watch the challenges set by Lord Sugar in ‘The Apprentice’, to see how some individuals really shine when given the opportunity, and how even the strongest minded can work effectively when put into a team situation.  It also underlines how those who appear to have strong exhibit leadership skills may not come up to the mark when put to the test!

The environment under which these activities occur is critical. Getting away from the work situation dilutes the ‘office hierarchy’ and allows members of the team to open up and display aspects of their personality and character that may be inhibited in a work setting.

At Chartridge we have developed ‘Out of the Box’, a whole range of different event packages so every team building day can be tailored to each client’s specific needs.
All of our events are delivered and run by an experienced team, who will help plan the day, provide everything that is needed and ensure that the activities run smoothly and effectively.

‘Out of the Box’ events are designed to encourage teamwork and motivate participants so they work to their strengths and develop new talents. The result is a positive and valuable experience both for the corporate client and the participants alike.

The events can range from short 1 to 2 hour activities designed to bring out different interpersonal and business skills, or a full day event that involve more complex challenges such as making chocolates and then identifying how to market.  You will be amazed at just how creative people can be and they enjoy being stretched to achieve success way outside of their normal comfort zone.

Professionally run team building events are a serious business tool which can only enhance performance back in the workplace. The activities have an element of fun in a non threatening environment yet they all have strong learning undertones with direct relevance to today’s business environment.

If you want to motivate your staff, build their confidence, and teach them how to work together to complement each other’s skills rather than competing with them talk to us about how booking your own team building event.  The result will be a happier and more productive workforce, more effective management and a solid foundation for the continued growth and success of your business.
