Team building shouldn’t just be done out of office, there’s plenty you can do in the office to increase productivity, build team unity and also employee satisfaction.

Before you start off arranging any sort of meeting, analyse the dynamics of your workplace. Is your team dysfunctional? Any conflict between certain team members? If this is the case, a lack of productivity may be a result of this. You can learn a lot just by watching your team for a week or so.

Regular team meetings are a good way to create an atmosphere of open communication. This can also lead to an increase in trust, as suggestions and concerns are taken on board. If there’s a suggestion made on improving the work environment, hold a vote and show the employees that they do have a voice and the business does value their input.
