Team Building – Quotes To Inspire Your Team

Team Building - Quotes To Inspire Your Team

Sometimes all teams need is a quick reminder and that’s where quotes can come in handy. Quotes take big ideas and compact it down into a short burst of knowledge creating an easy tool for employees to easily refer to.

Here are 7 of our favourite quotes that you can use to inspire your team.

Alone we can do so little, together, we can do so much” – Helen Keller

“It is amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares about who gets the credit” – Robert Yates

“None of all is as smart as all of us” – Ken Blanchard

“Remember, teamwork begins by building trust. And the only way to do that is to overcome our need for invulnerability” – Patrict Lencioni

“Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success” – Henry Ford.

“Unity is strength.. when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved” – Mattie Stepanek

“To collaborative team members, completing one another is more important than competing with one another” – John C. Maxwell.


Prefer to create a quote that’s unique to your organization? Here are some quick tips to make your quotes count.

  1. Start with writing down the objective you want to achieve by creating the quote and work towards simplifying it.
  2. Avoid using too many big words. William of Ockham, the 14th-century Franciscan friar and logician once said, Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate” (known as Occam’s Razor) or in other words, the simplest explanation is best
  3. Stay away from long sentences. Although most people are guilty of speaking in a somewhat rambling way, leaders are expected to keep things sharp and sweet.
  4. Read the quote aloud once you are done. The final test of whether your quote is ready for sharing is whether you are comfortable reading it aloud. If it creates some uneasiness, chances are, it will probably still require some work. PS. If you are split in the middle and hopefully have also internalised the quotes above, tap on your team and get your co-workers to help you as well.

Things To Consider When Deciding On A Team Building Event

Things To Consider When Deciding On A Team Building Event

Tasked to plan your upcoming team building but don’t know where to start? Fret not as we’ve drafted this quick article to help you in your journey.

Objectives
There are many benefits an organisation might reap from organising a team building, team bonding activity or any event for their employees. Much of what can be achieved by these events, is dependent on the objectives one has for the event as a whole. With a specific goal in mind, a teambuilding activity can then be designed or chosen to meet it.

One example of an objective driven team building event, is one that promotes organisational goals/mission/values. For example, if collaboration is an important organisational goal, team building activities that are designed to promote this value might include mass collaboration activities where all participants have to work together to achieve an end goal. This would be more effective than a team based activity, where participants work in small groups to each try to achieve their individual team goal. If required, team building activities can also be designed in a way where the activities first focus on performance as a team followed by performance as an entire organisation.

Besides promoting organisational goals, team building events can be designed to promote specific qualities an organisation wishes their employees to embody. An example would the promotion and development of the ability to deal with change. Given this rapidly changing landscape, change management is an increasingly important skill that organisations wish to employees to have. Change management specific team building events would involve activities that introduce drastic and sudden changes, where participants are facilitated and encouraged to manage through it. Having specific objective team building event, can allow for participants to manage their landscapes and work situations better.

That being said, not all team events require a specific objective. The other side of team building is team bonding and team bonding events are fundamentally meant to encourage interaction between participants and can be organised for merely that purpose. Team bonding events such as Family Day or Sports Days or even an Amazing Race can be utilised by an organisation to improve connections within the organisation, and would be a great opportunity to foster social bonds, in an out of the office setting.

Participants
Different types of team building activity engage and are enjoyed by different individuals. One factor that affects this is the age of participants. Very broadly, younger participants enjoy more fast paced and action packed activities such as amazing races while older participants would very much more prefer interactive team indoor activities.

Secondly, one should consider demographics of the organisation and of its employees, like the industry and positions of the employees. It is a known fact that different industries draw different crowds. Creative industries are more likely to draw more easy going and adventurous individuals as compared to the medical or engineering industry. Therefore, they are likely to enjoy different kinds of activities. An easier going crowd might enjoy activities which require them to think out of the box, and come up with unique solutions whilst other kinds of crowds might enjoy a more structured and competitive activity. The title or positions of the participants is also likely to affect what kind of activities they enjoy. For example, in most organisations, management level participants are more likely to enjoy activities that are more brain based activities as compared to team bonding activities that demand more movements. There are many exceptions to this case, but it is still important to consider this aspect when designing an event.

Thirdly, one should consider the number of participants expected for this event. There are many different types of team building events and one differentiating factor is the range of participants that are expected. There are some who organise team building event for the entire company, going up to 2,000 people while others organise activities for departments or units which can be as small as 10 people. There are many things that will be different as well based on the varying number of participants who are there. For a large scale event, there is always the concern about being able to fully engage all participants while also ensuring that the activity itself can be managed.

Cost
The last factor one should consider when designing a teambuilding activity, is the allowed budget for the entire event. With a more flexible budget, one can explore more possibilities. It is a rising trend that organisations take team building events abroad. For Singapore team building events, countries like Indonesia and Malaysia are top choices. Such team building activities combine company retreat with team building events and are effective in meeting its objectives. With a greater budget, one can also explore having incentives like prizes or rewards for employees who participate in the teambuilding event.

However, it is important to note that budget does not necessarily correlate to the effectiveness of the teambuilding event. Having a clear objective and understanding the demographics of participants can ensure that event objectives can be met. There are also many team building options that one can consider when under a tight budget like having a half-day team building event!

In conclusion, there are many variations of team building activities that differ in respect to objectives, participants and cost. One should consider each factor while deciding on a teambuilding activity to ensure that you find the best one for you!

The First 3 Things To Consider When Planning Your Overseas Corporate Retreat Or Team Building Retreat

The First 3 Things To Consider When Planning Your Overseas Corporate Retreat Or Team Building Retreat

Once only something Fortune 500 companies or tech giants offer to their employees, corporate retreats are now a growing trend across businesses all over the world from traditional companies to even small businesses.

Before you start worrying about the high costs STOP. With more hotels of varying budgets, cheap airfares and many nearby locations from Singapore,  retreats no longer have to be costly, luxurious, complicated or exquisite.

If you are considering an overseas corporate retreat or a team-building retreat for your team, before you get started planning or searching for hotels or destinations (I know that’s what we would do too), we urge you to read on below as we share the 3 core factors to consider when planning your upcoming retreat.

  1. Goals & Objectives
  2. Knowing Your Team
  3. Budget

Goals & Objectives
The first part of planning any overseas retreat is first asking yourself why you or your organisation are considering such an event.Here are some objectives to get you going.

1) To help staff recharge & restart after a long year.
2) To thank staff for their amazing contributions in the past year.
3) To build stronger bonds across the team away from the traditional work environment
4) Brainstorm new ideas to transform the business

Knowing these objectives and how far up they are on your priority list will allow you to make better decisions along the way. For example, if the main objective of the event is to thank staff for the great year, having tons of meetings, brainstorming sessions & workshops might send the wrong message.

Your Team & Demographics
We always believe no two companies are the same and so what might have worked at your previous organisation might not necessarily work here. Here are a few areas to consider.

  1. Management Team Or Entire Company?
  2. Age Group Of Participants
  3. Company Culture
  4. Interests
  5. Expectations

As you go through the process of planning your retreat or if you hit a roadblock along the way, always go back to the basics to help you make the right choices. Remember, you could organise the fanciest event or jam pack 101 activities in a day but if the activities planned are not suited to the group or the group is exhausted from running from place to place, then the corporate retreat might lose its impact.  In case you feel you can’t do this on your own, consider roping a few colleagues in to form a committee to provide different opinions or do a simple survey to gather information. If you need a template to start with, reach out to us and we’ll be happy to share with you ours. Don’t worry, no obligations or charges at all.

Budget
Budget, it’s always one of the more sensitive topics but it’s also very important. Having a set budget in place will help you manage costs and similar to the other two factors above, help guide decisions along the way.

If you don’t have a specific budget to start with, here are a few areas to consider.

  1. Destination – Accommodation & Meeting Facilities
  2. Meals
  3. Transport – Transport to get to destination and local transport on site.
  4. Event Management & Activities – Optional
  5. Misc – Door Gifts, Prizes or an allowance?

By pulling together estimated costs, you’ll have a better idea how much it’ll cost for different destinations and allow you to narrow down your choices.

If you feel overwhelmed at this point & prefer to work with a corporate retreat, events organiser & team building provider all in one, instead of individual vendors check out our overseas retreats page here.

From a 5D4N retreat in Krabi brainstorming & even volunteering at an orphanage to a 2D1N Malacca visit including a customised Amazing Race or Treasure Hunt to explore its rich culture, we’ve done it all.

The Benefits Of Team Building

The Benefits Of Team Building

“You don’t build a business, you build a team and then your team builds the business.”

So what might be so important about team building? Though the outcome of team building is the creation of team bonds, team bonds are not the only outcome of team building. There are some benefits of team building that differentiate them from the benefits of team bonds.

Fostering Of A More Collaborative Culture
Such a culture can be created through a more activity-based team building activities that requires teams to work together to complete the task. The main feature such team building activities will have is allowing different people to work and rely on one another in order to achieve the team/group’s objectives. Not only will this encourage people to trust one another, but in the long term create a closer and collaborative working culture. This is beneficial to the organisation on a whole, given that individuals who work closer together might help cover for one another’s pitfalls and allow for more innovative ideas to be developed.

Creating A Greater Understanding Between One Another
Effectiveness of any team or group is based on the level of group processes within the team and is subjected to several other factors which include team chemistry and transactive memory. Team chemistry refers to the fluidity of interactions between each team member. This can be enhanced through experience of working with one another and being able to understand each member’s working style better. Transactive memory on the other hand, is the knowledge and common understanding of each individual member’s strength, followed by task assignment that matches their ability. Through enhanced team bonds, team chemistry and transactive memory will be boosted, which could eventually translate to better team outcomes.

Developing Deeper Motivation To Work For Team Goals
Considering the social aspect of any human interaction, humans are naturally inclined to social goals and in a close group setting, could refer to group goals. When individuals are placed in a team, they are likely to work hard for the team goals, as much as they would for their personal goals. Considering this, with stronger and deeper connections being fostered within a team, they are more than likely to be more connected to the group goal, and work harder to achieve it. Therefore, fostering team bonds is likely to result in desirable organisational outcomes.

Inculcate sense of belonging, or a desire to belong
Besides creating a collaborative culture, such team building activities could create the ground for developing an inclusive culture within the organisation. Every organisation develops a different culture that is dependent on practices and traditions that individuals within the organisation promote. However, with greater exposure and more frequent interaction, any organisation would be able to create a unique culture for themselves. Developing a strong culture is likely to increase an employee’s sense of belonging to the organisation. With that, they are more likely to be motivated to pursue organisational goals.

These are desirable outcomes that can overall benefit an organisation or company’s objectives. As the current landscape moves into one that is more team based, it increases the importance of having effective teams. A group of individuals being put together, will not necessarily lead to the ideal outcome. It is through the positive influence of effective group processes, that a team may achieve their objectives. Through team building and creating lasting team bonds, the desired outcomes will surface and serve larger overarching goals.

The Beginners Guide – Selecting The Right Team Building Vendor For You

THE BEGINNERS GUIDE -
SELECTING THE RIGHT TEAM BUILDING VENDOR FOR YOU

The Beginners Guide series

Finding the right fit and vendor for your event is an important aspect of an event’s success and failure so here are some quick tips on that.

a) Google is your best friend – Google is the most used search engine in the world so we highly recommend that as a starting point when searching for a provider as they will lead you to many results.

b) Shortlist a few vendors to contact – Look through each vendor’s website to get an idea of the activities they do & their client portfolio. A picture is worth a thousand words. Many vendors use stock photos to spruce up the design of their website/ activity so if they don’t show any real photos of their activities, try checking out their gallery or asking them for photos.

c) Reach out to the respective vendors to get a quote and proposal – Try to provide the vendor with as much information as possible as this will help the vendor to get a more in-depth understanding, enabling them to provide the most accurate quote and proposal possible.

Here are some key details we often ask our clients.

– Event Date & Time

– Demographics Of Your Participants

– Objectives

– Past Activities Conducted

– Preferred Locations

– Budget

d) Vet through the proposals you receive. Here are some guiding points.

– Pricing – Compare packages across the various vendors and shortlist those that fit your budget. Quick tip, it is important to do an apple to apple comparison in terms of what’s included in the package, venue pricing etc as different vendors offer different package types. If it gets too confusing, find a vendor that includes everything you need in their package and check with the rest of the vendors the pricing based on a similar package. PS, expensive does not always mean the best.

– Activity options – Based on your team’s interest and objectives, select an activity you feel best fits your needs. No matter what the experts say, you know your team best.

– Experience & reputation – Due diligence is essential when appointing a team-building vendor as you’ll be depending on them to execute your event to perfection. Is the team building their core service or simply one of their event types? Ask for past event videos and photos as well as their past client portfolio.

e) Shortlist your preferred providers and request a meeting with them – Meeting the provider will allow you to better understand the activities they do and what they can offer you.

From there, select the vendor that’s the right fit for you and we’re good to go!

5 Benefits Of Virtual Team Building

5 Benefits Of Virtual Team Building

With the pandemic accelerating a shift online, companies can now connect teams from all over the globe to work together on projects. But… how do we then build team rapport, productivity & connectivity for remote team? Virtual Team Building might not be the one size fits all solution however it’s a great tool for companies to use. Here, we will explore the top 5 benefits of virtual team building.

#1. Increased Productivity
One of the most apparent benefits of virtual team building is increased productivity. Of course, productivity is key to any successful business, but it can be hard to achieve when working with a distributed team.

When employees feel connected together on projects, they can share ideas and work more efficiently. That can lead to better results for your business.

#2. Improved Communication
It can be hard to communicate with team members in different parts of the country or world. If communication is difficult, you might feel like you’re not getting the most out of your team.

Virtual team building can help to improve communication among employees. When workers are physically present in the same room, they can easily have side conversations and interrupt each other. But when they’re communicating online, they’re more likely to stick to the task at hand and focus on the discussion.

This improved communication can lead to a better understanding of the project and its goals. It can also help build trust among team members, essential for a successful team.

#3. Enhanced Creativity And Problem Solving
It can be tough to develop new ideas or solutions when you’re stuck in a meeting room or office all day. But, sometimes, all you need is a change of scenery to jump-start your creativity.

You know that creativity and problem-solving are essential for your team’s success, but it can be hard to find the time or space to let your mind wander.

With virtual team building, employees can take their work wherever they go. For example, they can collaborate on projects while on the bus or in line at the grocery store. And they can share ideas in real-time, which can lead to enhanced creativity and problem-solving.

Virtual events are an interactive way to bring your team together. For example, you can have people work together in Abducted games and solve puzzles while trapped within the virtual room! This type of activity will improve problem-solving skills as a team as well as enhance creativity.

#4. Greater Flexibility
The best thing about virtual team building is that it’s flexible. You can use it to supplement your existing team-building activities or as a primary team building means.

Anywhere and at any moment, you may establish a virtual team. So you can fit it into your schedule without having to rearrange your day. And if you have employees who are located in different time zones, you can easily accommodate their schedules.

This flexibility is perfect for businesses with employees who travel frequently or work odd hours. You can also use it to connect with remote workers or freelancers.

#5. Cost Savings
Traditional team building activities can be expensive. For example, you might have to pay for travel, lodging, and meals for your employees. And you might have to rent out a meeting space or conference room.

Virtual team building can help you save money on team building activities. For example, you won’t have to pay for travel or lodging, and you can use free video conferencing tools to connect with your team.

Plus, you can use virtual team building to connect with employees who work remotely. So you don’t have to pay for their travel expenses.

Conclusion
While there are some challenges to virtual team building, the benefits of bonding a remote team far outweigh them. It can help you save money on costs, build relationships, and improve communication. It can also help you overcome geographical barriers and time constraints; if you’re looking for a way to develop your team, consider virtual team building. It’s an effective and efficient way to get the job done so what are you waiting for?

Cue Lost Treasure Of Sundarbans that we curated based on the Sundarbans Forest the largest mangrove forest in the world and home of the Royal Bengal Tigers where teams will need to think critically, solve problems, work together in order to find the Lost Treasures before another team gets to it first. If you are worried that it might be too hard for participants, don’t worry we’ve got that settled by building fun puzzles that are both simple and complicated at the same time. Think interactive live chat box, the old school nokia snake game, matching, board mysteries and more.

Can your team complete the obstacles, get to the treasures & escape the home of the Royal Bengal Tigers in time?

#5. Beat The Clock
If you are looking for a quick morale booster and a fun game night with lots of laughter, Beat The Clock designed after popular game show Minute To Win is perfect for you as teams or individuals go head to head in mini challenges before 60 seconds run out. From guiding a cookie from their forehead into their mouths without any hands to scribbling as fast as they can, we are silently hoping that their adrenaline doesn’t shoot through the roof and no one ends up in stitches. Don’t worry, everything they’ll need can be found in the comfort of their home.

5 Ways To Engage Remote Teams

5 Ways To Engage Remote Teams

5 Ways To Engage Remote Teams

As a business leader, it’s important to find ways to engage your remote team and keep them connected. Here are five simple ways to get started.

As much as we are a team building company, and it’s highlighted below, we’ve included other good tips as well.

Allow Team Members To Share Their Backgrounds And Interests Through Group Catch Up & Chit Chats

One way to help team members feel more connected is to allow them to share their backgrounds and interests. As a result, team members are more likely to show their true colors and share something interesting when given the opportunity.

When you ask each individual on your team about his background or interests, it gives him a chance to speak willingly and without fear of judgment. No one wants someone else’s business secrets coming out in front-and. If there is anything negative associated with them, then at least this way, we can get rid of those bad vibes!

It’s possible to achieve it in various ways, such as through a company intranet site, social media networks, or discussion forums. By sharing this information, team members will feel like they know each other better and will be more likely to work together effectively.

Encourage Team Bonding Through Fun Activities

It is essential to encourage teamwork to build a strong group. We can do this by having fun activities that promote communication and collaboration.

Fun team bonding activities include could include simple games such as Pictionary or an online scavenger hunt, escape rooms or a professionally led team building session.These activities help break the ice and make team members feel more comfortable working together.

When team members are comfortable with each other, they will be more likely to collaborate and communicate effectively.

Use Technology To Facilitate Communication

Technology can play a vital role in helping remote teams communicate effectively. With the advances in technology, there are now many different ways to facilitate communication between team members.

Some of the most popular methods include video conferencing, instant messaging, and online chat rooms. These tools can hold meetings, share files, and support team members.

By using these tools, team members will be able to communicate more effectively and will be able to work together more efficiently.

Provide Training And Development Opportunities

One way to engage your remote team is to provide training and development opportunities. That can help team members stay up-to-date on the latest trends and technologies.

It can also help them discover new skills that they can use to improve their work. Finally, you will show your team that you are invested in their success by providing these opportunities.

Make sure to offer various training and development opportunities so that team members can choose the ones that best meet their needs.

Celebrate Successes Together

Another way to engage your remote team is to celebrate successes together. You can do it by organizing virtual events. That can help team members feel appreciated and motivated.

When team associates feel like they are part of a successful team, they will be more likely to work harder and be better productive.

Make sure to celebrate both big and small successes. It will show your team that you value their contributions and are committed to their success.

We can celebrate it through our team building games; we have party base games such as our Beat The Clock Challenge. We can also send gifts such as virtual vouchers or food catering to show our appreciation.

Conclusion

While it may take effort to get started, engaging remote teams can be well worth the investment. By creating a team culture that values open communication and fosters creativity, you can ensure your remote team is just as productive — if not more so — than your in-house team.
