Which activities to choose for a team building?
Team building activities have largely seduced and gained ground in recent years. Contrary to what some might think, they are neither a waste of time nor money. On the contrary, they allow you to strengthen cohesion between teams, benefit from a moment of relaxation and improve the corporate culture. Then find the team building activity that will best suit your company, your employees and your needs.
Why organize a team building?
Strengthen team spirit and a sense of belonging
As its name suggests, team building is an ideal way to create or strengthen links between teams. These are often informal activities that are built around collaboration and teamwork. They allow employees to get to know each other better and to work together around a common activity, just like in a company !
Identify the profiles of your employees
Through the team building activities, everyone realizes their strengths and weaknesses. Regardless of the nature of the team building (cultural, sporting, artistic, fun, culinary, etc.), teams find it easier to express themselves freely and reveal their personalities in broad daylight. It is an opportunity to identify leaders and idea carriers.
Develop new skills
The diversity of team building activities allows everyone to develop new skills that will be useful for the company: fostering the spirit of competition, stimulating creativity, taking initiatives, strengthening self-confidence, interactions... Each objective has its own activity! The advantage of team building is that it offers your employees the opportunity to learn in a fun way. This type of learning is often much more effective than school methods.
Improve productivity
Team building is an excellent way to reward your employees other than financially. By offering them fun and friendly activities outside of the professional setting, they will feel valorisé.es and will want to contribute positively to the development and success of your company. Team building responds to the needs at the top of Maslow's pyramid: the need for self-esteem and personal accomplishment.
On top of that, it's the perfect opportunity to recharge everyone's batteries and go back to work relaxed. Close-knit and productive teams: the holy grail for any company !

To get all gourmets to agree, what could be better than a team building around chocolate? The animation offered by L'atelier chocolat is an excellent way to test the culinary skills of your teams while getting together around a common project. On the program: a course given by professional chefs on the art of cooking chocolate. Pralines, mendiants, cupcakes, hot chocolate... It's time to elect the best pastry chef on your team!

A well-being activity to remotivate the troops, what do you think? Yoga allows you to respond to daily and professional ailments. Stress, anxiety, back pain...
