Results from multiple studies have shown that the benefits from team
building are huge. Not only for the staff and management who take
part, but for the company as a whole. Production and office relations
go up, as do the meeting of deadlines and work ethic. When people
think you care about them and their families, they will work harder for
you. Creating a business or a corporation that works like this takes
some time and a whole lot of effort. If you run or own a large
corporation you can have your HR staff take care of the team building
exercises, if you run your own company you will be responsible for
them. That being said many companies can be hired to run team
building exercises for the workplace. These companies specialize in
bonding the staff and creating a healthy and happy work atmosphere.

In order to know what some of the best team building exercises are for
the workplace you will have to do a little research. Some of the best
games and activities are listed below as well:

Puzzle pieces: This activity highlights verbal and nonverbal
communication. Each person takes a turn describing a shape to their
partners, who in turn attempt to create the shape using only verbal
clues.

Human Knot: This no-prop activity can help energize a bored group as
well as spark a cooperative spirit from a frustrated group. The goal is
for the group to get all team members untied from the “human knot”
without letting go of their hand connections.



Balloon toss: This activity is great for communication and allowing the
group to work in two small teams that eventually will work together as
a large group. Divide the group in two, with each part of the team
standing on opposite sides of a large wall or tarp. One group needs to
figure out how to transport items (water balloons) to the other group
over the tarp or wall without using certain keywords.

Maze: This activity provides the group with a problem-solving and
communication challenge. The group must figure out the pre-
established, hidden pattern in a maze of squares. The only clue
indicating how they’re doing is the “buzz” they get when they make a
wrong move.

Blind maze: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the middle of a
complex maze with only one way out. You can easily get side-tracked in
many places and stuck in dead ends. You get very frustrated until finally
you find the exit. As a group, the blindfolded participants must find
their way through a complex maze until the entire group is safely
outside. You can easily build the maze using metal rods, twine, and
fencing connectors.

These games are created to help bring a workplace closer together,
when this happens, people produce better results. Team building is a
very important part of growing and keeping a thriving business, it is also
the best way to keep the well qualified employees that you have.
