Outdoor team events - and why they strengthen the team!

April 21, 2023/0 comments/in general

In today's work environment, it's more important than ever that companies make sure to motivate their employees on a regular basis and give them an opportunity to network and work together as a team. Outdoor team events provide a perfect opportunity to boost morale and improve working relationships within the workforce. Learn about the importance of outdoor team events and how they help boost team morale here!

Outdoor team events offer employees one thing above all: a welcome change from the daily work routine. A break from the office environment and routine tasks increases motivation and boosts employee engagement. Through the challenges that await participants at many outdoor events, employees can improve their skills and strengths and strengthen their ability to work as a team.

But not only that. Outdoor team events offer employees the opportunity to get to know each other better, especially those who work in different departments or locations. Experiences such as shared goals, tasks and challenges foster trust and collaboration, resulting in a more productive and effective work environment.

Outdoor team events also help create a corporate culture. Employees who are part of a positive company culture tend to be more motivated, engaged and loyal. Team events, especially outdoor team events, can help create such a culture by motivating employees to identify with the company and take pride in their work.

But other benefits also made it into this article - stress reduction, improved health, increased self-esteem and confidence, and improved communication skills. Employees feel valued and supported when their employers organize such events, which can translate into higher job satisfaction and lower company turnover in the long run. This means, then, that team events provide an excellent opportunity to improve employee performance, collaboration and motivation. Not only do they encourage the development of soft skills and the creation of a positive company culture, but they also provide an opportunity for networking and the exchange of ideas. Companies should therefore organize regular outdoor team events to ensure that their workforce remains happy, engaged and productive.

SURFING ON THE INN: ADRENALINE KICK IN THE MIDDLE OF INNSBRUCK

September 29, 2022/0 comments/in general

"I lie prone on the surfboard and hold on to a rope with one hand so as not to be carried away by the current of the Inn. Meanwhile, I go through the process in my head: Stand up, keep your balance, and have fun surfing. That sounds so easy. However, the first attempts have shown me that it is not that easy. Nevertheless, the surf spot in Innsbruck is supposed to be good for beginners. So I'll try it again right away ..." Marlene, UP STREAM SURFING visitor

Successful team events during the pandemic

Successful team events even during the pandemic

For well over a year, corporate team building has had to resort to virtual options when employees want to try to come together, but there is nothing that can replace a face-to-face meeting or group event with employees and colleagues - just a real, in-person experience.

With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020, companies have increasingly been looking for ways to keep their teams focused and maintain a sense of cohesion. But so-called "virtual fatigue," the tiredness and exhaustion of people triggered by Zoom conferences and constant work on a laptop, have become very common.

That's why it's important for companies that invest in team building to reconnect with their team in person, bond and create memories together during a unique outdoor activity and increase employee engagement.

Why it's important to organize outdoor team events, even during the pandemic

As everything else besides work has moved to the Internet, including meetings with friends or cooking classes, team building has followed suit. However, this has brought its own problems.

Whereas before you had the incentive of getting a day off to do activities with colleagues or going away for a weekend, now you're even more tied down and have to spend even more time at your desk. With millions of people struggling not only with working from home offices and even longer hours, but also with a lack of social life and distance from colleagues and friends, virtual team building is arguably more agonizing than beneficial for everyone involved.

More cohesion through defeats and successes

In a 2018 study, groups that ate raw chilies or did upright squats - painful experiences - were found to have a greater positive effect on team members and showed higher collective creativity than groups that were asked to eat only hard-boiled candy or balance on one leg. As simple as this fun may seem, it can provide teams with opportunities to experience mutual hardship that can strengthen cohesion.

But it doesn't always have to be painful or unpleasant to have a positive effect. Other activities in which employees learn new things, physically exert themselves and celebrate successes and defeats together also make a significant contribution to a better working atmosphere. A successful concept for companies to strengthen the team is therefore also a surf course in the river, as offered by UP STREAM SURFING in Innsbruck.

The special thing about it is that the participants have to pull each other upstream, because the system only works if the whole team works together. Past experience has shown that it is not only fun to surf a wave yourself, but also to watch your boss or colleagues fall into the water again and again, dropping all the facades.

Workshops, sports activities and eating together around the campfire bring together

At UP STREAM SURFING, colleagues can experience a different kind of outdoor team event. Amidst a breathtaking backdrop in the mountains, they can overcome challenges together and learn how to surf on the Inn with the help of experienced surf coaches.

Even the adrenaline rush from swimming in the water or the exercises on the static rope leads to a significant improvement in team cohesion. Afterwards, surfing is done on the UP STREAM SURFING system, which is only set in motion when several members of the team work together to enable another participant to surf.

Through this or other highlights, such as various workshops, sports activities, such as spike ball, raft building or beach volleyball and subsequent catering, the young company has managed to design a successful concept for outdoor team building, while complying with currently applicable Covid-19 regulations - even for larger groups - and ensuring safety for all.

UP STREAM SURFING therefore offers a unique outdoor experience for companies of all kinds, which strengthens team spirit, significantly improves the working atmosphere and is also incredibly fun.
