OTTAWA CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING

ENHANCING EMPLOYEE BONDING AND MORALE

Creating trust and success within your organization requires teamwork. Our Ottawa Team Building Events are enjoyable experiences for all. With Entertainment, Workshops, Activities, and Mix and Mingle events, there are plenty of options available throughout The National Capital Region. When people have fun, they are more receptive to information and more likely to actively participate.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

We help to develop the skills to overcome stress in the workplace and to learn how to find amicable ways of settling disputes.

MORALE

Using our techniques we can improve the attitudes of employees and help them to feel more a part of the company than apart from the company.

NEW MANAGEMENT STAFF

A change in corporate culture isn't always easy. We help to adjust to new management staff and to bond that staff with each other and their employees.

NEWLY FORMED GROUP

Newly formed groups take time to learn about one another and develop a level of trust. We can speed that process to become productive.

OVERCOMING SILO MENTALITY

There is a tendancy for groups to isolate themselves from other parts of the organization and distrust others. We develop bonds between groups.

VIRTUAL TEAMS

As employees work remotely, there is an increased sense of isolation, decreased communication and a general mistrust. We help overcome those limitations.

WHY COMEDY
Having people laugh along the way makes them more open to new ideas and more likely to take lessons to heart. We bring funny people that can deliver serious amounts of information in an amusing manner. This helps to make any session more effective.

A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH
Let's be honest, team building has a bad reputation among many employees in The National Capital Region. The average employee thinks of Ottawa team building as listening to a hippie in Birkenstocks talk about auras and energy. The reality of the experience is much different. Our professionals come from the business world. Our Ottawa team building workshops are designed with true practical goals in mind.

OTTAWA TEAM BUILDING APPROACHES

METHODS THAT WE USE FOR BONDING EMPLOYEES

WORKSHOPS

Using a variety of techniques, employees interact with one another and get to know their fellow workers as human beings as opposed to job titles. This allows them to get past initial bureaucratic concerns or organization and to begin pulling together in unified purpose.

ACTIVITIES

We can engage the competitive spirit to have employees bond with one another. They work as teams without realizing that the true purpose is building trust. They collaborate, engage in time management, and cheer for one another to succeed. These can also benefit charities.

ENTERTAINMENT

Getting people to laugh and enjoy a show together gets groups to bond. We provide improv comedy, game shows and murder mystery dinners that have particular approaches to benefit workgroups without them realizing the real purpose for the company party.

MIX AND MINGLE EVENTS

There are several sturctures that can allow people that do not know each other that well to become more familiar. These can include games, murder mysteries, and trainings. We can even have a combination of events to be more effective.

WHAT GOALS HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED?

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING: - By understanding each other and knowing each others' goals and aspirations, everyone is in a better position to help each other and to motivate employees.
GROUP SPIRIT: - A group of individuals just isn't as effective as a group working together. We work towards creating something of a unified spirit without losing their individuality.
TEAMWORK: - Often organizations suffer from duplication of effort and micro-management. We assist teams to trust one another more completely. This includes entrusting someone with tasks and then living up to that trust. Taking responsibility and accomplishing what someone sets out to do. We also encourage checking each other's work, but as a means to improve one-another instead of being seen as a punishment or lack of trust.
A FEELING OF APPRECIATION: - Setting goals for employees to motivate them to achieve greater success is highly important. Having a way to show that you appreciate their efforts while utilizing performances that are more acceptable as an expense is vital. We have a selection of meetings and incentives awards programs that get people laughing and having a good time while bonding with fellow employees.

With years of experience providing corporate team building services in Ottawa, our staff brings our business consulting skills to solve your employee bonding needs. Whether you are looking for help in achieving corporate culture change, merger or acquisition assimilation, new management teams, improving morale, overcoming silo mentality, or dealing with the isolation of virtual workgroups, we can assist you in unique ways.

WE LISTEN TO YOU
Prior to any corporate team building workshop, we listen to your needs and consult with you to determine the particular needs of your group, issues that need to be considered, timing, location and budget concerns to customize a program to help achieve the needs of the company in the best way possible.

Beyond companies, we can also develop programs for church groups, fraternal organizations, Non-Profit Charities, international embassies, political campaigns and just about any other type of group looking to improve the quality of their workers or volunteers.

There are great areas within the city that can serve whatever needs you might have. These include Old Ottawa, Centretown, The Glebe, Lower Town, New Edinburgh, Sandy Hill, Westboro, Chinatown, Little Italy and the various outlying areas or across the Ontario River in Gatineau.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT We work hard to serve our clients in the way that they require. We also work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event as best we can while still meeting the exacting standards that we are known for. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment as makes sense. Of course, we are not perfect, but we simply try to be less harmful than we could be.

We provide Ottawa corporate team building throughout Old Ottawa, Centretown, The Glebe, Lower Town, New Edinburgh, Sandy Hill, Westboro, Chinatown, Little Italy and the various outlying areas or across the Ontario River in Gatineau, and anywhere else you can think of. We do not provide the food or the venue. We come to you and help bond your employees while they have a great time!

WE COME TO YOU!
We come to a venue of your choosing and this allows you to make your own food and beverage options. In general, you want enough light to see, enough space to move around comfortably, and it should be quiet enough to hear. Everything else can be adjusted to.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

WHAT IS THE REASON?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY?

We need to know the type of venue you will have and where it will be in the area. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose approprate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to underbuild and not provide enough service to achieve you goals when your budget could allow those options.

CORPORATE OFFSITES

Sometimes the best way to reset the attitude in the office is to get out of it. Having a corporate offsite allows people to separate from their normal distractions and focus on the work at hand. It is great for training, project development and improving morale.

It was an excellent time for the team that helped us build trust and get more comfortable together. I would highly recommend Improv as a team building event.
