Team Building

Many businesses are amazed at what a few hours of interesting and fun team-building activities can do for company morale and production. 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 that team-building activities can take. Team-building events can be run as seminars and workshops with something as simple as an inspirational keynote speaker, or they can be planned as an interactive daytime activity such as a scavenger hunt, sand sculpting on the beach, or community involvement. The location of your event will never hinder the possibility of holding team-building activities. They can be incorporated just as easily on-property as they can off-property.

During our years in the hospitality and event planning industry, Kirkland has seen a very diverse selection of successful team-building events. Some examples of advantageous team-building activities are:

•  Team experiences, such as sports, games, and scavenger hunts
•  Environmentally or community friendly activities such as local gardening
•  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
