- A fun activity that brings no tangible change to the organization.
- A team that returns to work with no improvement or development.
However, many organizations choose a team-building provider based on entertainment or cost alone, without considering effectiveness and long-term impact, which could lead to wasted investment.
5 Key Considerations Before Choosing a Team-Building Provider
1. Avoid Activities Without Clear Objectives
Common Issues:
- Focus on entertainment without alignment with organizational goals.
- Lack of structured design to address real team challenges.
- Clearly define objectives such as communication, problem-solving, or leadership development.
- Select a provider that analyzes team challenges before designing activities.
2. Beware of Providers That Focus Only on Games Without Developmental Insight
Common Issues:
- Facilitators lack experience in human resource development.
- Activities focus on games or competitions that don’t reflect workplace dynamics.
- Ensure facilitators have a background in Training & Organizational Development.
- Request case studies or client testimonials.
3. Avoid One-Size-Fits-All Packages
Common Issues:
- The same activities are used for every organization with no customization.
- Employees do not feel connected to the content.
- Choose a provider that customizes activities based on team challenges and goals.
- Request a tailored program designed specifically for your team.
4. Measurement Matters – Don’t Just Do It and Forget
Common Issues:
- No data collected on the impact of activities.
- Leadership cannot measure the ROI (Return on Investment) of team building.
- Select a provider with structured evaluation tools.
- Request pre- and post-event assessments to track team progress.
5. Ensure Activities Align With Company Culture
Common Issues:
- Activities contradict company values or do not suit employee demographics.
- Employees feel disengaged because the activity is irrelevant.
- Verify that facilitators understand your company’s Core Values.
- Choose a provider that aligns activities with your organization’s DNA.
