Investing in team building is an investment in your company’s future. As Henry Ford said, “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.”
In today’s fast-paced business world, employee satisfaction is a key factor in the success of any organization.
Numerous studies show that engaged employees are up to 21% more productive (Gallup).
One of the most effective methods for increasing engagement is organizing high-quality team building programs.
“A successful team building program is not just fun, but also an opportunity for learning and development. Through various activities, participants acquire new skills, strengthen self-confidence, and develop creativity. For team building to be successful, it is important that activities are adapted to different personality types and learning styles as well as the type of organization. Through team building, employees from different departments have the opportunity to get to know each other better, understand their roles in the organization, and establish better working relationships. When managers participate in team building, it helps build trust and create more open communication between different levels of hierarchy. Active participation of management in team building activities sends a strong message about the importance of teamwork and collective success.” Team building is not just fun, but also an important tool for organizational development.
One of the most well-known organizational development models is the McKinsey 7S model. This model highlights seven interdependent elements that make up an organization:
Strategy: A clear vision and goals of the organization.
Structure: Organizational structure and division of labor.
Systems: Processes and procedures within the organization.
Shared values: The organization’s culture and the values it promotes.
Style: Leadership style and culture within the organization. Staff: Skills and competencies of employees.
Skills: Key skills needed to achieve organizational goals.
Through well-designed activities, we can positively impact all elements of the McKinsey 7S model and create a strong and effective team.
