Team Creation Day

corporate new team creation

So you’ve assembled a new team together but they’ve never met before or hardly know each other. You want them working together as effectively as possible straight away. We can help you with our ‘Team Creation Day’. The whole day is centred on getting to know each other, how each person likes to work, strengths, weaknesses and building relationships. We hope that after this day the team will be set up to work efficiently and productively with a sense of openness in their working relationships.

This day is ideal for organisations whom have a graduate scheme or a group of new apprentices, but it can also be adapted for all kinds of groups.

A typical day plan would be as follows:

Key Points

*Ice Breakers and Initiative Exercises allow colleagues to get over the first hurdle of starting to communicate with each other and work together. This also allows facilitator to see how the work together.

*Johari Window sets the group up to consider how and what they are communicating to each other, including thoughts and feelings as well as information. Not necessarily today but also in future meetings and events.

*The rest of the day allow colleagues to apply what was considered in the Johari Window and allow communication to be more open with each other to allow colleagues to learn more about each other.
