Organizing a team building is an effective strategy to strengthen cohesion and improve team dynamics. However, the choice of the location for your team building can greatly influence its success.
Benefits of indoor team building
1. Total control over the environment
By choosing an indoor venue, you eliminate the possibility of unforeseen weather conditions. You benefit from a structured and comfortable setting, ideal for activities, presentations or workshops.
If you also do it on your premises, you don't have to travel and everyone can leave their things at their desk with complete peace of mind.
2. Superior technical facilities
Indoor venues are often equipped with advanced technology like audiovisual systems, making event logistics easier. Whether it’s a microphone, speakers, and more. Plus, you’ll be heard when you talk to everyone.
3. Development of team spirit and trust
Indoor activities allow you to discover and exploit each person's hidden skills, thus strengthening team cohesion and trust. It also requires you to often get into small groups, which is ideal for interaction.
Disadvantages of indoor team building
1. Potentially higher cost
Indoor venues can be more expensive to rent, especially if they have sophisticated technical equipment. However, it can also be completely free if you do it in your office.
2. Limited space
Indoor activities may be restricted by the size of the space available, limiting the types of activities possible. Volleyball is not played in the open office.
3. Less immersion and adventure
Staying indoors can diminish the adventurous and immersive aspect of an outdoor environment, which can be less stimulating for some participants. On the other hand, if there has been work on decoration or sound ambiance, this is less of a concern.
Why choose indoor team building?
Opting for an indoor team building in your offices has many advantages including ease of organization and the ability to control the environment, routes and security.
