Teambuilding is an important activity for building company culture. Read on for 5 tips for original teambuilding that will bring your team together.

A good team is the foundation of a good company culture. And team bonding - or teambuilding - is a pleasant activity that contributes to improving social relations in the company and defines roles within the team when performing common tasks.

Teambuilding can take many forms. Some work teams prefer a quiet, friendly get-together over a glass of good wine, others prefer bowling. But if you are one of those who want to experience something unusual at a company teambuilding, read the following tips for original teambuilding activities.

Homeless teambuilding

A structured homeless pentathlon. This is how the organizers of the Pragulic project describe the original teambuilding experience. If you want to bring your team together under the guidance of a person from the street who will teach you a lot of practical skills related to the subject of your work, sign up. According to the organisers, at this team building event you will be challenged in the areas of marketing, logistics, sales, finance and human resources. However, don't expect to do any numbers work when completing the sales and finance tasks. Get ready to fundraise with street art or sell items found in a dumpster. And you just don't get that sometimes.

Original teambuilding or an escape game for all kinds of ways

Escapes are a popular teambuilding activity. Get locked in a room, look for clues, solve puzzles and get out of the room within a time limit. The range of escape games is no longer just different in terms of themes, but nowadays you can also choose whether you want to play an escape game with your colleagues physically or virtually. So there are both online and offline options to choose from. For the online variant, you can usually just install the app and start playing.

Treasure Hunt

A bit of a return to childhood or a treasure hunt. Nowadays, a somewhat modernized concept, which includes working with a tablet and GPS navigation. But the principle is still the same. Follow the map, complete the tasks, reach the destination and find the hidden treasure. This strategy game will not only test you and your colleagues' knowledge, but also train your decision-making and time management skills.

Tasting

You don't have to taste only wine. You can also strengthen working relationships with your colleagues during an original tasting menu. Whether it's rum, chocolate, whisky or other drinks and snacks, your team will appreciate it. You can even taste with your colleagues from the comfort of your office. Online tastings are now also available as part of the original teambuilding offer. You'll receive a packet of chocolate, wine or something else, along with a link to an online meeting where experts will tell you more about the drinks and snacks you're tasting. And sometimes they'll even give you a fun themed quiz during the tasting.

Original team building? Become a test pilot

Would you like to become a helicopter or airplane pilot for a day? Would you like to try landing at Ruzyně Airport? And all this in the presence of your colleagues? Today, this kind of teambuilding is also available on the market. It is not the cheapest experience, but it is certainly worth it. An experienced instructor will tell you how to do it, and in his presence you and your colleagues can experience first-hand what it is like to pilot an aircraft.

Plan your corporate teambuilding to your liking and inform your colleagues about it. One of the modules of our PINYA HR software - the News module - will help you to inform your colleagues not only about the upcoming company event, but also about other news and events related to your company.
