This is perhaps the philosophy that many companies in the ‘Silicon Valley’ of the east are going by – that of team spirit. With the constant pressure of retaining talent looming ahead of them, managers find it increasingly necessary to create a sense of belonging in every individual within a team. And thus began the concept of ‘team building’.

Team building is any activity through which managers mould their people into a pro-active and productive team. It could start with a simple orientation program for the new members of the team to a detailed analysis of team performance on various activities outside their area of work. The objective of such an exercise remains in thatthe team be rejuvenated within themselves and be motivated to do better worktogether. Team building exercises may vary according to the dynamics within the team and the kind of want within the team at a particular point in time. Exercises such as management games,outbound training, as well as basic activities such as parties, drinking bashes, competitions, adventure sports, camping tours, etc. can be part of a company’s team building program.

Companies in Bangalore are increasingly seeing the need to set aside a large budget for such team building events while event managers such as Acme Events are cashing in on this need. An expert in team building and corporate branding exercises, Acme Events gives clients exclusiveteam building packages according to their requirements. The packages are mostly tailor-made to suit the dynamics of the team, the level of familiarity within and the kind ofinvolvement amongst members on a day to day basis. On gauging the criteria, a suitable package is created for each team and the team is taken to a location for a fun based session of team building.
