Benefits
- Improved physical wellbeing and mental health
- Physical activities are good for one’s mental health. By proving that one is capable of completing the challenges, a huge boost in confidence and self-esteem will be gained.
- Getting up from one’s desk and taking part in physical activities is a great way to clear the head and feel healthier, which will have a great impact on a person’s mental health.
- Giving your staff a couple of hours’ break where they won't be sitting at their desk is a great way to promote improving physical health. This activity gets them up on their feet and moving to give them the endorphin rush needed to return to work with a clear mind.
- Increased productivity
Better communication and collaboration will have a positive knock-on effect on productivity levels. By working together on a common goal, duplication of work is decreased, there is less friction and resistance, and therefore better output from each staff member. - Improving communication
This exercise encourages staff to communicate with each other to complete tasks and solve problems. By putting people in a fun and relaxing environment outside the workplace, they will be encouraged to relax, be themselves and open up to others. - Contributes to company culture, improved morale and motivation
- By focusing on the core values of the company and its culture, these attributes will be reinforced
- Games which improve morale can help break down barriers between employees and give ideas to bosses as to how to create and keep a good atmosphere in the office.
- Taking part in something new and exciting such as a team bonding exercise increases staff motivation as they know that they are being cared for and will be rewarded for their good work.
- This increase in motivation should help improve productivity levels, morale and confidence in each other's ability.
- Skills building
Increased proficiency with Powerpoint/Google Slides navigation and an increased understanding of how to use the tools available. - Goal setting
