Do you work out with any of your office colleagues, away from your office desks? It might seem like a strange question, but if you do, do you find that you work better with them and have a greater rapport? It’s likely to be a ‘yes’.
Morale is vital for a positive and productive office environment, and we all know that sport and exercise naturally boost the feel good factor within a person, whilst also boosting health and wellbeing. Taking that idea a step further, would regularly playing team sports with your colleagues or being active in general help to boost morale?
It’s possible!
Many businesses encourage team building exercises, such as paint balling and other active pastimes.The reason has nothing to do with shooting each other with paint, and everything to do with working together as a team towards a strategy aim, getting a good workout, and therefore making memories. All of this creates a teamwork feel in the office that goes beyond the ergonomic chairs!
With this in mind, considering that summer is almost upon us, how about organising regular football matches or another team sport that your employees enjoy? This could be a fundraising endeavour to take the feel good factor a step further; how about a charity fun run? You could also set up a mini league with other competitors and play against each other. The sky is the limit, and the advantages are huge! You’ll instantly see results in terms of morale in your office as a result.
So, step away from that CEO office desk and put together a teamwork exercise plan this coming summer!
