Take a good look around your office. Do you notice silence, boredom, and tired looks? Does it look like your team needs some cheering up? This calls for a team outing. Team outings are great to motivate your team and keep them happier at the workplace. It also promotes team bonding and helps the team members to get to know each other better. Happier employees result in better productivity and happy customers, which is good news for the success of any organisation. Below are a few of the team outing ideas that are a lot of fun and beneficial for the health of any organisation.

1.  Community help

Step out and help. Gather your team together to volunteer for a good cause. It could be a cleanup project at the beach, helping at the old age home for a day, volunteering to conduct a workshop for needy school kids or any cause to help animals, children, and women. This only makes one feel good inside; it also helps the team to bond. You could also coordinate with your team to volunteer their professional skills to reach out and support a good cause. Skills volunteering could include anything from marketing, designing, writing, medical care, etc.

2.  Rock Climbing

This exciting and thrilling activity is great for team building. Activities ad tasks that involve team coordination and communication can be organised for the team to take part in. Team members learn the importance of trust and helping each other.

3. Outdoor Games

How about attending one of the IPL matches? Gather your team members for a match at the stadium. Wouldn’t that be fun? Alternatively, organise a match (cricket, football, or the most preferred game among your team members) for your team members to participate in. Offer exciting prizes to the winners. Playing games together can boost team spirit like no other. On the other hand, these games also instil a sense of competition.

4.  Trekking and nature camps

Far from the madding crowd and into the jungles; take the team out for a nature camp. A couple of days in the midst of nature should give the team members some peace and calm. The challenges of having to survive in the wild without the comforts and facilities of the city will give the team many opportunities to hone their creative problem-solving skills, to learn to deal with unexpected situations and a chance to bond with each other. It helps the members to get to know each other better and develop better working relationships.

5.  Movie and bowling

Nothing like a good comedy to relieve stress. Try to go for a movie that is light and entertaining rather than one that has undertones that are more serious. After all, the outing is for fun. A fun and exciting game of bowling after a good movie can keep the team in good spirits for a good amount of time.

6.  Kayaking/Canoeing

This exciting activity can bring co-workers together so beautifully. Out of the necessity to stay safe, all are bound to find ways to work together find solutions and watch out for each other. This activity also helps members to mingle and get to know other people in the workplace.

7.  Kart Racing

Have you ever noticed how much excitement the Formula 1 races generate? Why not replicate the same experience with a kart race? Sport brings about bonding better than any other activity. Get the engines roaring and zipping and in no time, friendships are born. It also teaches a thing or two about competition. That competitive spirit could easily spill over into the work atmosphere, which is a good motivator. Take care to ensure that everybody is aware of the safety procedures.

8.  Attend a cooking or painting workshop

A slightly relaxing and fun outing idea would be to attend a painting or cooking workshop. Get in touch with the local art school and book and book your team for a workshop. Artwork is a great stress-busting activity. Giving free reign to their creativity can lift their moods. Alternate with a cooking class where the team gets to learn hands on cooking. It can get a bit messy but cooking together can be a great icebreaker. It is well known that great bonding happens over good food. Follow it up with a few drinks and you have put the icing on the cake.

9.  Karaoke Night

Considering your team is the active and outgoing type you can think of organising a karaoke evening where they will all have the opportunity to express their singing talents (or lack of it) on stage.  To make things a little interesting, you could hold a competition for the best singer or group.

10.  Scavenger hunt in the city

A Scavenger hunt or treasure hunt as is commonly known can be a lot of fun. Divide the members into groups and set them on a mission to find the treasure across the city. This will involve a lot of coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills. These days you have many apps and event organisers who can assist in executing this activity for you. This outing not only leaves your team feeling exhilarated and refreshed, but it also boosts the morale too. Take many pictures for memory sake and play them out on a slideshow later for the team. You can even make a collage of the pictures and put them up on a wall in the office to keep up the motivation.

         Think well and decide on one of the above activities after considering the nature of your team and what they may enjoy more. If most of them do not have a passion for cricket, there is no point in taking them for a cricket match. Similarly, if the majority of your team members are introverts or the more quiet types, then a karaoke night will not serve the purpose of having a team outing. Morale boosting happens when the team as a whole enjoys the entire activity and when employees are happy they are your very best ambassadors.
