Team Building resources abound. One of the most powerful tools is the Web. Use it to your advantage. Simply doing an online search will result in many sites designed to offer tips, resources, support networks and strategies.
Attend a workshop. Pay attention to those flyers you receive in the mail from seminar companies. The money you spend on a one- or two-day Team Building seminar will reap dividends.
Check out your local library. Here you’ll find a plethora of excellent books – including “Who Moved My Cheese?” and “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Team Building” – to add to your bookshelf. You might even make one of these required reading for your employees, as well.
Subscribe to a newsletter. Again, turn to the Web for this.
Talk to other business people in your community. Are you a part of a monthly breakfast group? Do you often get together with business friends for a game of golf? Bring up the topic of Team Building during your conversations. See what others are doing in this area.
Scope out local businesses that might offer Team Building activities. For example, does your local cooking school offer activities targeted toward businesses? How about an obstacle or ropes course offered through your city?
Finally, if you have money, hire a Team Building coach or organizational psychology consultant. Your HR department should have leads for this.
