Caution in Choosing Team Building: How to Ensure Real Impact?

Have You Experienced This?
  • A fun activity that brings no tangible change to the organization.
  • A team that returns to work with no improvement or development.
A well-designed team-building program is not just about fun—it must create measurable change.
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.
Solution:
  • 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.
Solution:
  • 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.
Solution:
  • 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.
Solution:
  • 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.
Solution:
  • Verify that facilitators understand your company’s Core Values.
  • Choose a provider that aligns activities with your organization’s DNA.
