Teambuilding: the best time to organize it for your company

Every season has its pluses and minuses when it comes to organizing a teambuilding. We are here to help you choose the right one. 

‍

We know that when it comes to organizing a teambuilding, your first thoughts go to the needs of the team, the budget, the number of participants, the location. Maybe later the question comes up: when is the best time to prepare team-building activities? It is no surprise that every season has its pluses and minuses that influence both the types of activities chosen and people's motivation and willingness to actively participate in teambuilding. 

‍

To avoid wasting a lot of time and energy on this task, we help you check it off the list and focus on the more intense things, such as activities or the theme of the party on the first night of teambuilding.

Spring - boost employees' desire for teambuilding activities  

‍

After hiding from the cold and fighting the frost all winter, we'll want to get out in nature and enjoy the fresh air. Even if it's a clichéd metaphor, with the resurrection of nature, we're also waking up to life. So the desire to participate in energizing activities is amplified and creates the right context for a successful teambuilding.

Advantages of spring teambuilding

• People's desire to get outdoors and socialize 
• Employees need to be motivated for the new year 
• We can take advantage of the fact that the vacation period has not yet started 
• The opportunity to implement the objectives set in winter and adapt projects according to their status 
• The perfect setting for a variety of activities 

For spring, we recommend choosing outdoor activities such as treasure hunts, hiking and hiking trips or various competitive activities if you have a team that likes a bit of intense motivation. 

And as a backup plan, because we all know that spring weather is changeable, we suggest indoor activities on strategy, planning, team management, that will bring them together as a team, but also make them better professionals. 

Summer - company teambuilding or "the fun season"? 

Summer brings sunshine and warmth, which means teambuilding can be full of fun and recreational activities. For this reason, it is also one of the most popular seasons when it comes to organizing a teambuilding. But while the benefits sound nice and winking, there are some challenges that come with them. 

The benefits of summer:

• A wide range of outdoor activities, both relaxing and exhilarating 
• Possibility to combine teambuilding with short vacations.
• Relaxing and pleasant atmosphere.
• Customers and partners are often away on vacation, so there is a chance that for some employees, the workload may not be so heavy either 

Disadvantages:

• High temperatures can be uncomfortable for some team members.
• The holiday period can make it difficult to find a convenient date for everyone.

Although the high temperatures might make you avoid this season, we have a solution to guarantee your team's comfort. With the right travel concierge, you can find accommodation that offers you relaxation in the sun and plenty of space for activities in the shade. 

Autumn - the most diversified teambuilding activities 

Fall is a great season to reflect on achievements and plan for the year ahead. You can clearly see what went well and set goals for improving and increasing employee performance. The cool weather creates the perfect atmosphere for both indoor and outdoor activities during the first two months. You can enjoy summer activities, but without the heat. 

Advantage:

• The moderate weather is perfect for both indoor and outdoor activities.
• An opportunity to prepare the team for the last months of the year and set the following objectives
• Employees return from vacation with fresh work force 

Disadvantages: 

• Unpredictable weather and falling temperatures
• Shorter days 
• Competition with other events: it's also a popular time for conferences and seminars 

If your team is adaptable, and planning is done in advance, we find activities that can solve any barriers and disadvantages brought on by the period. From strategy and planning workshops to escape rooms, cooking together activities and competitions. 

Winter - organizing a teambuilding becomes synonymous with planning for next year

Winter, with its holidays and festive atmosphere, is the ideal time to strengthen team bonds. Although the cold can be a hindrance, there are many activities to suit, so it's an easy hurdle to cross. Activities like winter-themed team games or creative workshops can boost creativity and communication in your team.

Advantage:

• The festive atmosphere encourages solidarity and good cheer.
• Unique opportunities for indoor and outdoor activities.
• Possibility to combine teambuilding with a Christmas party. 

Disadvantages:

• Cold weather may limit some outdoor activities.
• Potential logistical difficulties due to weather conditions.

Whatever the season, the key to a successful teambuilding is to choose the right activities that meet the needs of your team. Careful planning and tailoring to team members' preferences and personalities will ensure a memorable and beneficial experience for all participants.

Whether you opt for a nature adventure in the spring, a fun day in the sun in the summer, a strategy session in the fall, or an evening of indoor activities in the winter, teambuilding can bring your team closer together and create a strong and united organizational culture.

Whether we're talking about organizing a teambuilding, partner event, training or even a corporate party, our constant goal is to exceed expectations.
