Lessons in Team Building: Rub a dub Grub
So, you want to get your team away from the office for a great outing. You've identified some fun options that will also give your team time to mingle, get to know each other, build trust, and improve communications.
What are you going to feed them?
Didn't think of that? Huh. Maybe it's time to rethink.
Food is a key aspect of your team outing. It helps keep everyone's energy up. It keeps the group together for that much longer. It keeps them talking, and often gives them something to talk about. It provides a built-in rest break - often another key aspect to a successful outing.
If you don't have food plans, you don't have successful team outing plans.
And if that's the case, your team isn't bonding.
So, you want a great outing?
Provide some grub.
