There are a variety of reasons why team building is a great idea. It builds trust among employees and encourages them to open up to each other. This can have a positive impact in the office as employees may feel more able to bounce ideas off each other. This, in turn, can increase productivity. Similarly, these sort of events opens up communication channels with members of the team. This is vital for a healthy workspace. It also gives employees a chance to actually work together on problem-solving, and these skills can be transferred to working life.
