You've put in the time, effort and, yes, money to make your team feel they could conquer anything. Spirits are high and the event was a success. Now on to your next challenge: How long before it all fades? How do you keep this momentum going?
There's a certain buzz in the air after a great Team Building. Back at the office, everyone participates more. Ideas are flowing and collaboration within the team is very productive.
Overall, it's a giant step towards a high-performance culture in your team.
While a majority of the employees (and maybe even you) might prefer monthly Team Building to solidify this after-event atmosphere, that's not always possible. Most companies with under 200 employees have 1 to 5 events per year.
(Employees with more than 200 employees have 10 to 20.)
However, as a team, you can do something so that every Team Building experience will have the best chance at lasting value.
What Can Leaders Do To Maintain Team Engagement?
Here are some engagement tactics you could take in between Team Building events to keep the momentum going:
1. Regular Check-Ins
Do "temperature checks" through informal huddles. How's the morale? Are there issues rising?
These don't have to be too planned or tedious so it would be easier to do them consistently.
2. Micro Team Buildings
Meetings are a part of the office life, so why not add short, fun activities to these regular gatherings? Your options include quick trivia games, a puzzle, or a problem-solving activity that aligns with your team's work.
3. Recognition
Employees hope for more opportunities to show their work or get recognition for their hard work.
You can develop a system that rewards teamwork and individual efforts. Some examples are "Team Member of the Month" awards, shout-outs in company communications, or small rewards like gift cards.
4. Development Opportunities
This is valuable if you notice particularly ambitious members. Support their growth by offering workshops and seminars.
5. CSR Projects
Engage your team in social responsibility initiatives. Working together on a project for the greater good can be incredibly bonding and fulfilling.
What can members do? (Peer-led Initiatives)
Involving your team members to keep the engagement strong shares the goal with them. This way, everyone is more likely to contribute and participate.
1. Rotation of Responsibility
Allow members to take turns heading meetings or organizing simple team activities.
2. Peer to Peer Learning
Everyone has hobbies outside work. Sometimes we even develop valuable skills by pursuing these hobbies.
Encourage them to share these skills and knowledge in a series of informal mentoring sessions.
Help them get to know each other better this way while they engage their creative sides.
Effective Team Building activities play a key role in maintaining team engagement by creating shared experiences that strengthen trust, communication, and a sense of purpose within the group.
If you're looking to partner not just for a single event but for the long haul, Mission Possible is your ally.
Maintain a year-round momentum.
