Altogether Now For Team Building

Thursday, May 27th, 2010

A New TV series on Virgin 1 features employees of an office taking part in a team building exercise that involves them working without clothes on. The new series is meant to convey the merits of what is presumably the ultimate in team building techniques. It has not been received with enthusiasm by US or British newspapers. Apart from highlighting the dangers of leaving the shredder on, many would say it does little for team building, being simply voyeuristic.

Here at Accolade we take a rather more down to earth approach to team building, preferring to make participants feel comfortable and relaxed, and to push them gently in the direction of new team skills – never forgetting to include a healthy dose of fun along the way. Accolade represent one of the most effective ways to improve your team – something that is borne out by over 10 years of experience and success with all kinds of clients.

We know exactly how to make team building work for your organisation, so why not get in touch with us today and see how we can make your staff members gel better – ultimately making you more money.

Adding Value Through Corporate Events

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Being successful in the business world is all about making the right impression, it is about showing your clients that you have the right potential to add value to their business and their life. No-one would go into business with someone who provides no valuable service and fails to generate any additional revenue. However, you can also add value to your clients and staff members alike by presenting them with fun and entertaining corporate events.

The most entertaining types of corporate events generally surround sporting events, merely because they are so unpredictable. Nobody is quite sure how the event will turn out and that in itself provides an element of mystery and excitement.

Over there coming months there will be a number of sporting events taking place which would provide the ideal opportunity for corporate events including the Football World Cup, Wimbledon and the British Open golf championship.

At Accolade we have a number of specially designed corporate events that will help to add value to the important and valued individuals within your organisation. If you want to find out more about this or any of our other services contact us today and find out how we can add value to your business.

Picking The Correct Team Building Event

Team building can be an extremely effective way to fuse and mould your work colleagues into one cohesive unit and work more productively and efficiently. However, you need to ensure that the team building tasks that you are looking to undertake are achievable by all members of staff and maybe more importantly than anything else – it is suppose to be good fun.

One hotel company recently decided to employ the services of a fitness expert, who was planning to take their staff on a boot camp style team building event. Of course this could be a fantastic event, but there may be certain people in the company that would not find this type of team building event quite so much fun.

The company had aimed to produce an event that would provide the staff with an event that would improve with skills that would help them to develop a healthy lifestyle. It is thought that workers with healthy bodies and lifestyles are more productive and take fewer sick days each year.

At Accolade Corporate Events we have a whole range of differing events that will allow your staff to come together and work as one productive cohesive unit. If you would like to find out more about it, then contact us today.
