Corporate Team Building

By: Art Gib

Employee satisfaction is directly related to a business' level of productivity. Fun team building activities, such as corporate scavenger hunts, can greatly improve a company's production through strengthening employees' job satisfaction.

In today's world, the corporate and industrial business culture holds an increasingly strong influence. As businesses and corporations become an increasingly integral part of the fabric that holds our civilization together, it becomes necessary to ensure the well-being and happiness of our workers. According to recent studies and news reports, productivity is directly proportional to employee satisfaction.

Herman Cain, founder of Godfather's Pizza states that, "Nobody motivates today's workers. If it doesn't come from within, it doesn't come. Fun helps remove the barriers that allow people to motivate themselves." This theory is reiterated in "The FISH! Philosophy" which is based on employees in a Seattle fish market who were filling orders by flinging fish to one another, inciting laughter from each other, as well as the customers who they would often invite to join in the fun. The owners started to notice a direct correlation between the fun that the workers were having, and the level of production they were accomplishing.

Most corporate offices have found it difficult to replicate this type of environment, as it is often much more difficult to trigger the same type of fun and excitement when most corporate office workers are sitting behind a computer all day. However, there are still many strategies that employers can implement that promote team building and raise employee satisfaction levels. One option is a corporate team-building scavenger hunt from Watson Adventures.

Watson Adventures' website calls the Field Museum scavenger hunt their "most surreal hunt in Chicago". Presenting a whirlwind experience through the museum taking groups from "Ancient Egypt to the Pacific Islands, from the tundra to the forest, from Tibet to the lair of two bats," hunters experience a challenging, competitive race through the museum while strengthening relationships and job satisfaction.
