In today’s business world, the importance of team bonding cannot be understated. A strong team is a cohesive unit that is able to work together efficiently and effectively. This will help elevate team engagement and ensure everyone is working towards the same goal.
Team bonding has many benefits, such as improved communication, increased trust, and enhanced creativity. These activities can help team members get to know each other better and build meaningful relationships. Not only will this lead to a more productive workplace, but it can also help to improve morale and job satisfaction.
It is vital to our success as a team to be able to work well together and support each other. Our team has many traditions and activities we enjoy indoors and outdoors that help us bond and collaborate. We want to share some of the activities that helped us build strong team bonds and enabled us to work together more effectively while having fun.
Indoor activities
We have several team bonding indoor activities our team enjoys doing, whether we are at work or during breaks and free time.
One of the activities our team values is having time for collaboration. We are constantly working to improve ourselves and our skills as a team. Thus, we frequently collaborate on projects to create new and innovative ideas. It is a great way to learn from each other and build trust within the team whilst brainstorming ideas on a broader range of topics.
Having such a dynamic international team here at Brandenburg Labs promotes creative brainstorming sessions to help come up with ingenious ideas and better solutions to problems from different perspectives.
Another fun way to bond and improve team engagement is quality cooking sessions while away from work. It is a fun way to learn about new cultures and expand our knowledge about a wider range of food recipes from across the globe. We absolutely love cooking together and spending time with cooking enthusiast team members.
What is a better lunch day at work other than a Cultural lunch share? One tradition we have is sharing cultural lunch in the office during lunch breaks. This is a time for us to all get together, bring our respective cultural dishes, share meals, and catch up on each other’s lives. We take this time to bond with each other and build meaningful relationships.
Outdoor activities
Getting the team together for adventurous and fun outdoor activities is a great way to build relationships and teamwork skills while immersing in nature for bonding time. Here are some of the activities our team enjoys doing together.
There is nothing better than a summer BBQ. On beautiful sunny days, outdoor BBQs are our absolute favorite activity while sunbathing and playing with our office dog Zelda. There is nothing quite like the smell of barbecuing meat wafting through the air and the taste of cheese and vegetables off the grill while enjoying each other’s company.
Another great outdoor activity we enjoy doing is hiking and afternoon walks with colleagues. Being in nature is always a great experience. For us, one of the best ways to enjoy nature is by hiking in the beautiful Thuringian forests while taking in all the beauty that nature has to offer.
Additionally, most of our team members are passionate about adventurous indoor and outdoor bouldering. Our climbing enthusiast colleagues meet up during their free time to share memories and adventures by climbing rocks and walls as well as other forms of physical exercise, such as yoga.
Last but not least, our tech team is planning a unique seasonal activity called the ‘advent of coding’ to start off the Christmas season with exciting coding tasks, each for every day of advent. You can follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram to learn more about our fun activities as a team.
