Olympic Team Building can mean a Gold Medal for Your Business

No matter whether you love or loathe the fact that Great Britain is hosting the Olympic Games, there is one fact that you cannot deny – Olympic fever is taking the country by storm!  Every television channel, radio station and newspaper is full of the successes and failures of Team GB, and to a man we are watching with swelling pride as Great Britain steadily climbs up the medal board, surpassing all previous achievements.

But there is an interesting fact  which has emerged over the last two weeks. Without exception every single Olympiad has said that the support and encouragement that they have received from their fellow team members across every sporting speciality, and the audiences, have spurred them on to achieve personal bests, world records and medal winning performances.


But this joire de vivre is not only present in the Olympics.   The most important component of any successful company is its people, and the more they can be spurred on to unlock their hidden skills, build upon their talents and achieve their full potential, the more likely will they achieve further success and look upon your company as a long term career prospect. Canny businesses are seeing tangible benefits by harnessing this buzz in their employees and building stronger and more successful teams in the workplace.    Employees become more motivated, keen to unleash their own competitive spirit, build their own skill sets and attain higher goals.

Team building exercises such as Chartridge’s “Out of the Box” are designed to bring out the best in each employee and teach them how to work together to build a successful and healthy business.  The games are a mix of business focused and fun social activities which have been specifically designed to suit all businesses no matter what their size or speciality. ‘Out of the Box’ offers over 20 innovative events ranging from one hour breakout games to full day teamwork challenges, designed to develop problem solving, interpersonal and communication skills which can then be put into practice in the workplace.

So when the London 2012 Games have finally finished and the Olympic torch has been extinguished is the perfect time to help develop the skills of your workforce with team building exercises?  With very little investment in money or time you can undertake some really fun and motivational activities which will have a really beneficial impact on your company.  By working together as a united team every employee can shine, support each others’ strengths, help overcome their weaknesses and become a single highly motivated unit and help build a strong and successful business for the future. Then you can also become a winner, have pride in your company and your employees and enjoy the accolades that come with success.
