Indoor fun games for corporate events- Improving Team Bonding

Internal marketing is something every employer needs to heavily invest in. Your employees are one of the key components to the successful running of your organization and therefore, ensuring that they are working together as efficiently and productively as possible will deliver healthy returns to your business. There are many ways to make sure that your team are happy, productive and have goals that are aligned, following the corporate structure. This can stretch to feedback forms, engaging intranets and indoor fun games for corporate events. Corporate indoor fun activities can be held during lunches, an evening after work or integrated into corporate events which can be very effective.

Corporate indoor fun activities are implemented into most business’ budgets and internal marketing strategies as a way of motivation, but also to bring the team closer together. Incorporating indoor fun games for corporate events also helps to break up a day, bring out everyone’s personalities and drive motivation as a team. This is especially effective in medium to large size companies where you find lots of people working in silos. There are often times where you will find an employee is emailing another department to ask a quick question, completely unaware the actual person they are requesting help from is sitting across the office from them. If a team are bonded and everyone knows who’s who and what their role involves, efficiency in projects will sky-rocket, increasing productivity and most importantly, profits. 

It is important to choose the right corporate indoor fun activities tailored to your team and that will deliver the results and improvements you require. Indoor activities are popular for many reasons, primarily they can be held at corporate events all year round without any worry of the weather but also, due to the refined space, everyone is forced to get involved.  There are many types of indoor fun games for corporate events with a few examples listed below.

Testing your team’s brainpower

A quiz is always a popular option for team-bonding activities. The type of quiz can vary from general knowledge, light-hearted trivia about the company i.e., how many people work in IT?, what is Ian from accounting's biggest challenge every day? etc. or knowledge of the industry your company works in. Whichever you choose, you are bound to get a lot of laughs and find that each group are more connected as they work together to win. The main thing to consider when conducting a quiz, is to ensure each team is comprised of members from different departments within the business to allow collaboration that is not the norm in the workplace.

Bake-off!

Colleagues are placed in teams with those they do not usually work with to compete for the prize of the best dessert awarded by a panel of judges. The judges could include the CEO, board of directors or the event organizers if you want the entire company involved. To earn ingredients, the teams have to successfully win a number of challenges. This can range from answering trivial questions about the company or solving a task etc. Once the ingredients have been collected, all the teams have one hour to create the most impressive dessert for the final judging. This is a great indoor fun game for corporate events, especially when there are a high number of attendants. It works to improve communication and teamwork within the company.

Extreme Arts & Crafts!

Perfect for conferences, team meetings or full day corporate events, this will help to increase morale and develop team spirit. Using a huge blank canvas, each team takes their own section using an overall theme for the company, the corporate event specifically or may be the defining corporate objective. They then work together to come up with an idea, using communication and creativity skills to deliver an artistic representation of the theme within an hour. At the end, the entire canvas is unveiled creating not only a great mural to take back to the office but a team that has bonded and worked together using their range of skills.

So with just a few examples of how you can use corporate indoor fun activities to allow staff to come together, you can see the impact it can have on your team. As a direct result, the workplace will be much more welcoming and productive going forward. These type of activities force communication and therefore reduce the stress of having to work on a cross-functional project for example, developing a strong workforce that can truly work together in the most effective way possible.

To receive an abundance of ideas and help on what would work best for your team, including the set up and organization of the event, it is sometimes best to hire an external company to do this for you. This is especially so when you have a hectic work schedule, as you do not want to invest money in creating something half-heartedly that creates no return, or improvement, to the business.
