Team Building Events

Many businesses are amazed at what a few interesting and fun team-building activities at a destination event can do. Helping you plan unique and interesting team-building events is a special interest of Kirkland Event & Destination Services.

Team-building events can take a divisive, highly individualized group of colleagues and mold them into an understanding, compassionate, cohesive whole—a true team! And when team members learn to work together, trouble-shoot together,
and help each other, their productivity, and hence profitability, soars.

There are many forms team-building activities can take, and many ways to incorporate team-building activities into a larger destination event. Team-building events can be run as seminars and workshops offered on event schedules, or they can be planned as part of after-hours, extra-curricular activities. Team-building activities can be highly interactive, with group members participating freely, or they can take the form of a more passive event, such as an inspirational keynote speaker.

The location of your event will never hinder the possibility of holding team-building events. Team-building activities can be incorporated just as easily at an on-property event as at an off-property venue. The variety of resources surrounding a given event location will impact team-building options somewhat; however, any locale has a wide array of team-building events open to them.
Here at Kirkland Event & Destination Services, we have seen a very diverse variety of successful team-building events during our years in business in the hospitality and event planning industry. Some examples of advantageous team-building activities are

• Team experiences, such as sports, games, and scavenger hunts

• Role-playing exercises, helping participants learn the hurdles faced by their counterparts, in order to gain a better perspective on their work life

• Cooperative efforts, like sailing, mural projects, planning teams, and competitions

• Child's play events, taking participants back to the simpler roots to play the games we grew up on which laid the grounds for future teamwork

• Activities incorporating company trivia, helping members learn more about the entity they work for, or the entity sponsoring the event
