Corporate Castaways: Games for Staff Unity

With the hectic schedule at work, how can someone go on an adventure, visit an island, and try to survive there at least for a day or two and then get back to the office by Monday? With Corporate Castaways, yes you can!

Invite your colleagues or suggest it to your supervisor to have a company outing or team building - castaway style. With almost the same concept as the famous show, work challenges with your team or co-workers to complete the task and survive (at least for the 3 to 4 hours). Compete with other teams or departments to be the fastest or with the most points and completed challenges. Work in harmony and succeed or face the penalties (pink slip is at the sole discretion of the employer).

For those who are afraid of going far from their city or beloved families, this can be done in a local park, beach or a nearby lake. Teams or tribes will be formed prior or during the start of the event and ceremoniously presented to each other. Wear your best team outfit that would best represent your tribe and accessorize with a common totem to symbolize the unity and pride of your team.

Enjoy games for staff unity and create a unique and memorable day for all of you. This will not only impact your relationship with each other but drive each other towards working excellence.

Tiff: You have provided us with some really great feedback about your experience with that event and just with us, American Outback Adventures and Events in general, so you could tell me what it was that made it such a success?

Tracy: Well, I think that the coordination that you guys brought to the table, just in terms of, you know, as an event planner, it’s such a beautiful thing when there’s an event that you can rely on, that has all their experts in line, and you guys got everything so well orchestrated and thought out every little detail so that it made my worrying factor next to nothing. I mean, I had complete confidence that you guys have thought about every little thing and did your homework enough, it’s important to know the nuances of the property and what you weren’t going to have because we were in an international country, just what resources you have to pull up and stuff.   It was so nice to just show up and I just had to focus on everything but that for a change. Knowing that you guys had that detail done was just, that was a relief for me and a big piece of the worrying out of my day to day experience on site. Because that is usually, it is a huge focal point, the team building is always a huge focal point of the week for the company and while we’ve had some great vendors come to the table in the past, none of them are a professional team building company, so you all knew exactly what you’re doing, you knew what staff it took, you knew what resources that you need to pull locally from both the hotel and from a staffing perspective and just even from the props and the organization of it and things you would need each station to make everything flow, and it just all did so well. So, you know it just made us look good, it made my client look good and you know  they just thought you guys are great, so which is why we want to use you guys again.

Tiff: That’s great, I mean Tracy, we really do appreciate your business and working with Helms Briscoe is a pleasure, so I’m glad that it was such a success and I’m glad you’re going to work with us for next year’s program as well.
