Pro Tips for Planning a Team Building Outing
Match the activity to your team’s energy
Don’t push your group into something too physically demanding or out of sync with their interests. Offer a variety or choose based on a team poll.
Set clear intentions
Do you want to focus on communication, stress relief, or celebration? Your goal will shape the day.
Allow time for reflection
Wrap up the day with a casual debrief, group discussion, or shared meal to reinforce the takeaways.
