Advantages of Hiring Professional Team Building Organisers


Hosting a team building event is a great way to promote cooperation and instil trust and camaraderie amongst your team members or employees. However, if you don't know exactly how to organise one, it can be hard to convince all members of your staff to participate. As such, if you're considering doing a team building event, it would be wise to enlist the services of professionals. Here's why.


1. Helps you keep your costs down
If you think planning an event on your own is less expensive, think again. While you may initially be able to save money by not hiring a third party to help you plan your team building activity, it may cost you more in the long run. Before you start, it's important that you have a budget that will cover all the requirements of the event. Professional team building organisers can be a huge help in this regard because with their ties to suppliers and venues, they can help you obtain discounts and give you access to more cost-effective options that can help significantly reduce your expenses.

2. Offers you creative and professional advice
Unless you want your team building in Newcastle to be boring or generic, it certainly is a good idea to seek professional help. Professional organisers are always updated with the latest trends on team building and they can help you set up creative, meaningful and highly educational team building experience that won't bore your employees out.


3. Provides you with more convenience
The event itself may be fun, but planning a team building activity can be stressful at times. Not only do you have to make the activities as interesting and educational as possible, you also have to take care of the event's logistics such as booking the venue and finding safe transportation for your staff. When you hire professional organisers, you don't have to worry about these things because the organisers will do everything on your behalf. Not only does it bring you great convenience, hiring pros also help you save time and effort.

4. Ensures a safe and enjoyable team building
Professional organisers usually have keen attention to detail, ensuring that even the smallest kinks are ironed out to pave the way to a fun, safe, and meaningful team building day. They know exactly what is required for the event. With their help, you can rest assured that everything is taken care of properly, allowing you to focus on the fun things ahead.


Whether this is your first time or fourth time organising team building day for your company, it certainly helps to enlist the services of the experts. With their expertise, you and your staff can enjoy team building activities that are fun, safe, and hassle-free.

Guidelines for Ensuring a Safe Team Building Experience


Team building day is supposed to be a day of fun, camaraderie, and learning. However, just because everyone is out of the workplace, it doesn't necessarily mean that your employees are completely safe from work-related accidents and injuries. Injuries can and do happen during team building activities. As the owner, supervisor, team leader, or HR manager, it is up to you to help prevent any unfortunate situations from ruining what should be a fun and exciting day at work.
Here are a few tips to consider to ensure everyone's safety during team building events.


1. Provide safe transportation
On team building day, it makes more sense to travel to the location together as a team than to go there individually. Not only can it help you save time and petrol, it also prevents the risk of someone getting lost. However, ensure that you work with a professional transport company to get your staff to and from the venue to prevent driving accidents.


2. Check the weather
If you're going to have an outdoor event and have team building in the Blue Mountains, for instance, ensure that you check the weather forecast before finalising the schedule. Whether you're doing the team building in the middle of winter or summer, you should advise everyone to dress appropriately for the event and bring items such as sunscreen for hot weather, or raincoats and warm clothing for cold conditions.
If some of your team members do not have the equipment or clothing for certain types of weather or situation, you should be able to provide the necessary gear to keep them safe and comfortable.


3. Ensure the activities you'll choose are health and age-appropriate
Don't select a team building activity simply because it seems cool or fun. It's also important to take into consideration the age and level of physical activity of your staff members when deciding the activities for your event, especially if your staff is composed of people of varying age and fitness levels. Otherwise, you are placing their health and safety at risk.
To solve this issue, you should ask everyone's opinions, medical needs, and other related information. Then, you can either find an activity that will work for every member of your team, or you can simply allow some of them to participate in alternative activities.



4. Always be prepared for emergencies
According to Murphy's Law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. As such, it's best to be always prepared for emergencies. Before you start with any team building activities, you should brief your staff about taking safety precautions and go over the emergency plan with all of them. Also, make sure that you bring a well-stocked first aid kit with you and let your team members know that in any emergency, they can always call emergency services.
