3 Reasons Why Team Building Activities Are Important For Your Business

Team Building Activities At Doveridge Clay Sports

Employees are the most important part of any business, and no matter the size of your empire, keeping those who work for you happy is vital to productivity and getting good results…which is where team building activities come in.

We’re sure you’ve heard of them, and maybe the mere mention of team building has you rolling your eyes. ‘A whole day away from work? What good could possibly come from that?!’ Team building activities are one of the most important things you can do to keep your company pushing on. Here are three reasons why!

Team Building Activities Promote Better Workplace Relationships

 This is particularly true for large organisations, as individuals may not have the opportunity to mix. This could lead to the formation of cliques or even a sense of exclusion that will damage productivity. Team building activities offer an opportunity for all employees to chat and forge friendships in a relaxed and informal environment. As a result, employees enjoy better working relationships and enhanced well being. Which can only be a good thing, of course.

Team Building Activities Work On Problem Solving Skills

Also, collaboration in the workplace is key.  And team building activities bring together your most valued assets to hone and refine their skills. The beauty of team building activities is that they allow individuals to let down their guard and bring a whole new set of talents to the table. Consequently, working collaboratively as part of team building activities will supercharge confidence and promote more inclusive problem solving environments. What could be better?

Team Building Activities Are Fun

 Yes, we said it! Above all, team building activities are FUN for everyone involved. Nothing is more effective than a group of employees that know how to communicate, trust, and have fun with one another.

Team Building Activities at Doveridge Clay Sports

 Set over 70 acres of rolling Derbyshire countryside, Doveridge Clay Sports offers the very best in team building activities in the West Midlands.

The Benefits of a Clay Pigeon Shooting Team Building Day

Corporate Days Midlands

Building your corporate team around a clay pigeon shooting day is the ideal way to assess your staff and work on the attributes that make a group come together and work more effectively. Here are some of the methods, benefits and techniques to get your team building day in Derbyshire off to a flying start.

7 tips and benefits of a Clay Pigeon Shooting Team Building Day

1. Getting away from the workplace is the first stage of a successful team building experience. Taking your staff into the Derbyshire countryside for clay pigeon shooting sets the stage for the day and takes everyone away from their usual roles and behaviours within day to day working life.

2. Clay pigeon shooting is a great leveller – unlike some team day activities anyone and everyone can do this. Fitness and mobility are not an issue here; all participants have a sense of equality within this fully inclusive activity.

3. Being outside is great! Too much of our modern life is spent indoors and being in the fresh air surrounded by beautiful scenery and cooperating with colleagues in a positive environment really gets the endorphins flowing.

4. What are your outcomes? Defining the purpose of your day, whether it is a fun reward or something more serious like trying to gel merging departments will give the experience purpose and your group will gain more from it. Whatever you want to achieve from your team building day we can help you achieve it.

5. Clay pigeon shooting is a team activity. Throughout the day you will be working on communication, trust, procedures, goal setting and targets in both a literal and metaphorical sense. Your group will be aiming towards a greater sense of cooperation and the pathway to success under the guise of a fun competition in the great outdoors.

6. Clay pigeon shooting is an effective team building activity which fosters team spirit and boosts camaraderie amongst colleagues.

7. This activity can be tailored to suit any number of participants and businesses large and small. It is an investment in the most important asset to your business – your staff.

When you bring your team to Doveridge Clay Sports you are in great company! We are one of a few Premier Plus Shooting Grounds in the country. We have successfully hosted some of the world’s most prestigious clay shooting events including English, British and World Championships.
