Companies have been using team building days to rally their staff and help build better bonds and communication channels for a long time now.It was the biggest city companies that first embraced the idea of team building as they had lots of employees who often did not know each other. This then filtered down into the more modestly sized and independent businesses who wanted didn’t want to miss a trick. These days business have moved on and branched off into many different area. There has also been a dramatic increase in the number of people basing their businesses at home or using the Internet for the majority of their trading.According to results from a number of team building and corporate entertainment companies, these smaller businesses are increasingly using these bonding activities to bolster their teams.

The findings were released by a group of corporate events companies in London, England. They have found that even though a lot of home based and internet based businesses comprise of smaller teams, they often do not communicate that effectively. In these businesses there is often a reluctance to communicate face to face, with employees opting for email or phone calls most of the time. Additionally, there are a great many of these companies that run from a number of locations and there are team members that never actually get to meet face to face.On top of this there is a high risk of people working from home contracting health problems associated with over-eating and low levels of activities.

The group who released the findings documented a 30% increase in the number of team building days booked last year by home and internet based businesses (the most popular being Waterside in Windsor events) and suggested this is down to an increased focus on work efficiency. It has been reported by bigger businesses that their workforce productivity increased by some 50% as a result of running more team building days and their were less instances of people being off sick. The smaller businesses want these benefits as well and it is only natural that they are starting to embrace team building events. As well as team building events, many companies are increasing their spend on hospitality events such as Cheltenham hospitality days in an attempt to improve staff job satisfaction.
