Who says work must be unfulfilling and boring? If you’re in a job that you don’t love, or if you’re a supervisor who sees that your team is lacking enthusiasm, it could have a negative effect on the company and the bottom line. Your employees are your most important asset. Without them, things will go south. It’s important for employees to feel like they are contributing to the greater good of the company.

Something else to take into consideration is that employees truly want to feel valued. “Employees prefer to be a part of something that is more than just a job, something fun to look forward to every day rather than a boring monotonous environment,” according to the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics. “When businesses encourage their employees to have fun, employees become more engaged.”

What better way to have fun than with a group? Team building and group settings accomplish way more than just a good time. “Team building is essential to so many critical functions of a team, including communication, collaboration, morale, and productivity,” says HRMorning. It helps with “team trust, which is directly tied to innovation, effective decision making and employee retention.”
