Team building is becoming more and more popular in the business world, not only as a means of rewarding staff, entertaining clients and partners, but also for fostering team work within the firm.
A team-building exercise is a special combination of programmes designed to enhance the productivity and efficiency of the company by encouraging openness and cooperation among staff.
Participants learn how to manage a team, to think as a team, to make decisions and to react quickly in response to events. All these skills are as important as reading a compass when learning to sail.
When sailing everyone has to coordinate their actions to succeed - just as in any business.
The confined space of the boat and the constant need to live together and cooperate will also force individuals to accommodate and understand each other.
The crew has to find a way to live and work together equitably and enjoyably.
Why Team Building
In short team building will:
- Develop team spirit
- Produce a higher level of communication and interaction between employees
- Assimilate new employees into an existing team
- Build up the confidence and initiative of staff
- Relieve stress through physical exercise and exertion
- Allow staff to enjoy themselves together in a fun, recreational environment
- Create among staff a sense of belonging to the group and loyalty to the company
In only a week of sailing clients will gain an enormous amount of knowledge and have an unforgettable experience with life-long results. Pitting themselves against the power of the sea and the winds will be a strong test of their mental and physical endurance. Future challenges will seem a walk in the park by comparison.
And for some it will be the beginning of a love affair with sailing.
We can offer advice and guidance on what would be most suitable for your needs. We will design the programme with you, based on your specific requirements.
