It doesn't matter so much where, or what, but how the group learns to work as a team. Having fun and entertaining leaving the routine behind for a while. 

5 benefits of team building for a company

1. It boosts teamwork. When working together to achieve a common goal, a relaxed and lay back environment is created in which members feel comfortable and safe. 

2. Improves communication. Organizing and being participatory are two very popular requirements when organizing team building activities. In this way, participants must be able to talk to each other and communicate effectively, which will be expressed in the workplace.

Likewise, if the members of a company with a hierarchical structure organize any of these activities, it will allow them to eliminate distances between them.

3. Stimulates confidence. To achieve a relaxed but efficient work environment, it is necessary for colleagues to trust each other. In addition to feeling better in their positions, the company will notice better results. 

4. Increase performance. An employee who is comfortable in his workplace and with his colleagues has a higher productivity than one who is not feeling well during his workday. 

5. It allows to analyze where the team is standing. Thanks to a team building, it is possible to know if there is any communication problem in the group, as well as other important issues for the work environment. After analyzing the behavior of the entire team during the activity, the members themselves can try to detect failures and try to correct them.
