The Team Can Work and Succeed

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

All too often we hear depressing news about the climate, recession and sluggish performance. It’s no wonder that company morale is at a low when you are constantly being faced with stories of gloom. Employees start to look on the negative side, start becoming fearful of their own role within the company and start looking for alternative employment.

You don’t need us to tell you that this in itself is bad for business. For a business to be strong and to ride out the bad times it needs to feel strong, it needs to believe it can perform and it needs strong, positive and dedicated individuals joining together to make a strong team to lead the company to success.

This won’t happen by itself, now more than ever it needs working at. Team building in today’s business environment is even more important than it ever has been. Team building helps retain your trained and experienced members of your team, boosts company confidence and motivates your team. Team building is crucial.

If you are looking to host a team building event or want some advice then give us a call at Accolade Corporate Events today and we can talk about what would work for you and your company.

Uniting as a team to achieve success and challenging perceptions

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Recently we have seen a British company succeed in a market where there is great scepticism over British products. A Sussex winery can crack open a bottle of their own bubbly and celebrate their success in beating some of the world’s best know champagne names to have one of their products crowned as ‘the world’s best sparkling wine’ – congratulations to all the team at Nyetimber!

As you can see, on the day the product did all the talking, so polished and perfect that it blew the competition out of the water but to achieve such an accolade takes hard work and dedication and this is exactly what this team did.

Many companies in Britain are facing equal challenges, you company maybe launching a new product, promoting Britain as the place to locate industry or simply proving you have the edge on your competitors and to achieve this you need a strong dedicated team.

We know that teams need working at, you can’t wave a wand and have an instant harmonious team (although that would be nice!) you need to invest time and effort into building and maintaining your team. At Accolade Corporate Events we have so many different team building activities targeting a wide range of different objectives, activities that are fun but meaningful back in the workplace.

If you would like to make your team building seem effortless, then give our enthusiastic team a call today.

The Adrenaline Factor in Corporate Events

Monday, December 14th, 2009

As the festive season continues to its heady climax, many people will be experiencing an increased number of corporate events. Once the office or workplace gets wind of a work event, you can often feel the excitement building up right up until the big day.

But unfortunately, sometimes these events do not live up to expectations – as they turn into a day or night that is very familiar – perhaps a little too familiar. So how do you ensure that your staff are energised by the idea of something truly unusual or exciting? It’s not an easy question to answer, but for some bosses the answer is to inject a little fear into the workplace!

Not the really scary kind of fear of course – just a little bit of fear caused by being challenged to do something they haven’t done before. If you can get your staff a little out of their comfort zone, then you can learn new things about them – and perhaps more importantly they can learn new things about themselves.

Here at Accolade Corporate Events we know a lot about adrenaline and giving people a challenge. Even if you have something really outlandish in mind, we can help form your ideas into a workable corporate event – one that is sure to add a good bit of excitement to the workplace, and help motivate your staff.
