Team Building Activities to Try in 2021

Imagine those HR activities where everyone is forced to participate in some so-called engagement activities. Well, those just for the picture sake activities can never strengthen the team. Team building activities in 2021 focuses on voluntary employee engagement. That is to say; these activities are concentrated on very fundamentals that can strengthen the team from within.

Who doesn’t love walking into an office that is filled with motivated, overly enthusiastic employees, driven with a common goal and a great team spirit? Well, everyone. A team-building activity requires effective strategies. Here’s how you can focus your resources on building better and effective team activities for your organization.

  • Nothing matches the spirit of the team in sports

If there’s one thing that binds people as dearly as food, it has to be sports. In the country like India, we can say it with certainty that the love for cricket connects everyone. Well, we hate generalizations but hey, who doesn’t like cricket?

Okay coming back to point, one of the effective ways of building fun team activity is by organizing sports or game day. Do your bit of research and know what game is loved by all. There isn’t any work-related angle to this. But this activity is guaranteed to break the ice between your employees and teams. 

  • Outdoor sessions

Again a relatively informal activity but is sure to improvise your team strength substantially. We understand budget constraints and in 2021, even a limitation of social distancing. However, outdoor sessions with a little planning and thorough consideration can at least remove the barrier of Corona. You see, employees have been working in close cubicles of home or office desks for months now. A little refreshment by the lakeside or even a terrace party can boost employees’ enthusiasm by folds.

  • Virtual indulgence

Most of the organizations are working remotely in 2021. It isn’t easy to keep your employees enthusiastic during such times. However, thanks to tech, we can do almost anything we wish for with utmost ease. Here’s how you can strengthen your teams virtually with varying activities.

 

  • A social communication platform. Let your employees feel connected. Let them make relationships outside professional barriers. The more they gel up with each, the better would be the result for your organization. 
  • Devise Virtual team games to improve engagement. You can add a work angle to this by bringing up some dummy project. Let your team brainstorm and come up with exciting ideas. Let the best team win. Check these amazing virtual games that your team would surely love.
  • A quiz or trivia can never go wrong unless it’s on topics alien to your employees. 

4.       Mind games are always fun

Remember, how as kids, we used to get excited when posed with challenges. Well, guess what? We still are those excited kids who love challenges. A scavenger hunt or a team trivia beats every other activity when it comes to team building. Come up with exciting riddles and brain teasers. Again, you can add a twist by designing brain teasers relating to your company. Doing so would help employees feel more connected. The more connected they feel, the better are their chances of bringing productivity for you. You can also come up with a contest where teams can participate and win big. A compensation, be it monetary or not is always encouraging.

  • Appreciation and personality activities

One of the most incredible team activities has to be appreciation sessions. Teams cannot work in cohesion if they cannot value other team members. Now and then, involve employees to say something they appreciate about their colleagues and create an appreciation circle within. The more they acknowledge, the better are their chances of gelling together. 

Out there, the Internet is a very insightful place. You can source ideas from the web if you cannot design creative ideas on your own. Check this great team building activities to help you get started.
