Team building is just as important for small businesses today than it is for organisations with a large workforce, according to leading team building professional Michael Cromie.

“Often team building exercises are associated with larger companies who have multiple departments to bring all employees together,” said Mr Cromie, General Manager of Corporate Challenge Events.

“For small business, team building is just as vital to unify those few staff involved in the day-to-day running of the business.

“Because the success of the business is in the hands of so few, it is imperative that all staff can work effectively together for a common goal.”

Mr Cromie identified four team building programs ideal for groups small in number.

1. Risk Reward

“Risk Reward is a good program for small teams who wish to focus on strategy, risk taking, trust, team work and process improvement. It’s ideal as an indoor program over two to three hours for businesses with a smaller budget. At the start of the event, all groups are credited with a sum of fictional dollars. Each group then invests its money, together with accumulating profits, through a series of team building exercises which have a financial focus. The objective is to grow their bank to uncover the most profitable and overall winner.”

2. Art in a Day

“Art in a Day explores the creative talents in your business. It can be run both indoors and outdoors from two hours up to half a day. The objective is for each team to create an office masterpiece using materials acquired in various group activities. This program will hone time management, strategy, negotiation and creative skills. Many businesses use their branding or values as the basis for the artwork with many finished pieces hanging proudly in workplaces around the country.”

3. City Scramble

“If you are seeking outdoor team building activities on minimal budget, then City Scramble is perfect. Equipped with a smart device, money and a list of items to collect, teams are set off on a race around a park, suburb, CBD or entire town. At various locations, teams earn points by completing team building exercises which can be tailored to your business’ objectives. Requiring skills in strategy, communication and navigation, participants will learn how much they know about the history, character and features of an area.”

4. Bikes for Tykes

“One of the best team building events for small groups is Bikes for Tykes. Effective in either indoor or outdoor locations, the objective is to build a bike from scratch after winning all the parts in a series of group exercises. The power in this event comes at the end when the teams discover the purpose of their bike building. The bike is donated to a children’s charity to help a family in need. This program has a great corporate social responsibility outcome and will develop skills in communication, leadership, team work and delegation.”
