Are you interested in holding team building activities in your workplace? You don’t have to spend a lot of money, and they don’t have to be disruptive either. They can be as simple as getting a team together in a room. The most important thing is to create structured opportunities for employees to mingle.
Here are 5 team building ideas that you can easily implement in the office. The new year is a great excuse if anyone ever ask.
1. Team building lunch and learn
Assign employees into groups to discuss and respond to work-related questions over lunch. You can use a sorting hat or similar devices to get people who don’t usually work together in a group. An outside speaker or an employee with a hobby, interest, or particular knowledge or skill may also be invited to share their information and experience.
2. Take an employee to work day
Schedule employees to visit another department for a take an employee to work day. The opportunity to observe in another department enables better cross-department cooperation and understanding. It also offers employees the chance to explore another career path, especially if training and mentoring are provided.
3. Employee hobby clubs
Employees may share an interest in various outside-of-work activities. Provide the space, email lists, and occasional financial support to promote hobby groups meeting at work. Companies have sponsored book reading clubs, photography clubs, knitting clubs, and all sort of interest groups at work.
4. Team sports and group exercises
With team building fun and fitness in mind, you can encourage your employees to participate in sport-related activities. Activities such as yoga classes or friendly soccer match offer team building opportunities for employees from differing departments. During the weekend, fun run, marathon and dragon boat events are popular outlets for team building in Singapore.
5. Employees’ family at work

Hosting children at work also helps employee families develop friendships outside of work, which cements the relationship in the workplace. You can host a Halloween event in the office, put up a big screen to show family movies, and more.
