Training Team Building: in these activities we work on the team dynamics no more in indirect and playful way, but with awareness and thanks to specific exercises. Mental and physical interaction facilitates the creation of new and deeper relationships between people who are used to see each other just as coworkers.
These are the great classics of team building. In the training activities the group, leaded by a professional trainer, finds itself in conditions that are very distant from the everyday life of the office and must face exercises addressed to developing some precise capacities. We can work on confidence, communication, mutual help, leadership… all qualities and characteristics that can turn a simple group of colleagues into a tight-knit team!
Benefits of Training Team Building
The benefits of Training Team Building appear immediately, but last also in the long duration. The exercises that are part of our Training make participants reflect on their role in the company and on the capacities they employ or they can employ. Important moment for reflection are mainly that of starting briefing and final debriefing, when the group confronts itself with the trainer that observes and leads it. We can see come to surface the critical points of tension and prepare strategies to solve them.
What’s the problem that more often troubles the employees in their everyday work? We asked many people, and all of them answered: stress. It isn’t an easy problem to solve, and it must be faced and eliminated to improve the group’s performance.
In fact, while a low level of stress can push an employee to work better and reach higher results, a superior level of stress can on the contrary block the work, creating an unbearable psychological situation. To prevent this escalation of stress and psychological suffering, Training Team Building activities stimulate trust, team alignment and individual assessment.
Assessment: what is it?
What is assessment? In psychology, this term is used to define a global evaluation of a person, his resources and hit limits. Each one of us believes to know himself, but in fact knows much less of what he thinks. He can, for example, overvalue some capacities and underestimate others, or even ignore completely to have a talent.
During the assessment process, with the help of an expert trainer, every participant should discover something more on himself and go beyond limits he used to see as insuperable. It will be good for team work, because someone who knows himself better can start learning to use his abilities to help the team. From the assessment we can start aligning the team as a whole, making clear company’s Vision and Mission and learning to direct the qualities of individuals in the group work.
And when the company’s Vision is clear and so is your contribution to reach the fixed mission, no task seems too hard. Stress fades away and the team member feels more self-assured, because now he knows his capacities and how to apply them to job. Of course, assessment can’t cancel objective conditions of stress, such as an urgent delivery or an unexpected problem. But it can help people to not feel like a stress what is instead normal office life.
