Top Team Building Trends in 2025

Top Team Building Trends in 2025

Enquire Now

As workplace dynamics and employee expectations continue to evolve, so does the world of team building. At GOTO Events, the UK’s leading team building provider, we delivered thousands of team building activities last year for companies of all shapes and sizes. We stay ahead of the trends to create experiences that not only deliver real results but are also incredibly fun and engaging for everyone involved.

Looking ahead to 2025, we anticipate more businesses embracing team building for a variety of reasons: giving employees a well-earned break, making a hands-on social impact, developing essential soft skills through fun and interactive activities and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusivity.

Drawing on our extensive experience and the expertise of the GOTO Events team, here are the top 10 team building trends we predict will shape 2025.

1. Wellness

As companies increasingly recognise the link between employee wellbeing and workplace performance, team building activities are moving beyond simple fun to focus on fostering physical, mental and emotional health.

Through wellness team building, you will not only support your employees’ personal wellbeing but also enhance team collaboration. Whether it’s through a Yoga Class, fitness-based challenges, or creative and mindful workshops like Living Art, Living Wall, Kokedama, and Terrarium-making, wellness-focused team building activities are designed to help teams recharge, reduce stress and build resilience.

This approach helps create healthier, happier and more productive teams, ultimately improving both individual wellbeing and overall team performance. Wellness-focused team building is more than just a trend – it’s a smart investment in your people that pays off in the long run.

2. Social impact and sustainability

In 2025, more companies are embracing team building activities that go beyond the office to create lasting social impact and promote sustainability, increasing their corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Charity team building events, such as building bikes for underprivileged children or constructing emergency shelter pods for those experiencing homelessness, are not only a great way to give back but also help strengthen relationships within teams. These activities allow employees to connect over a shared sense of purpose while making a positive difference in the world.

Sustainability team building is also gaining momentum in 2025, with companies engaging in eco-friendly initiatives like Build a Bee Hotel and Build a Birdhouse. These experiences allow teams to work towards a common environmental goal, raising awareness and fostering a sense of responsibility toward the planet.

By incorporating social impact and sustainability into team building, companies are investing in both their people and the community, creating stronger, more purpose-driven teams while supporting causes that matter.

3. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in team building means providing activities that are welcoming, accessible and meaningful for everyone. It’s about ensuring all team members feel valued and heard while accommodating participants with different abilities and needs.

For instance, our Ultimate Quiz, Generation Game and Masterpiece require no physical activity, making them entertaining options that include everyone, regardless of physical ability. To bridge generational gaps, activities like Under Pressure, Master of the Tasks and Soap Box Derby keep participants of all ages engaged, fostering teamwork across generations.

Team Masterchef, Around the World and Cocktail Making celebrate culturally diverse workplaces, turning team building into a vibrant showcase of backgrounds and fostering understanding within teams.

4. Unconventional activities

2025 is the year every company should break away from traditional team building exercises and embrace unconventional activities that are fun, engaging and packed with experiential elements. These activities go beyond the usual trust falls and brainstorming sessions, offering teams an exciting way to connect and collaborate.

Gamification is at the heart of this trend, turning team challenges into immersive adventures. From mobile escape rooms to competitive activities like Master of the Tasks and Crystal Team Challenge, these events create a sense of excitement and competition.

Pop culture-inspired activities like Betrayers, where teams work to uncover the traitors, or Quid Games, with its nail-biting challenges under the watchful eyes of the red-costumed guards, take team engagement to the next level.

These unconventional activities create unforgettable memories, build valuable skills and allow companies to deliver team building events that are both impactful and enjoyable.

5. Interactive technology

Technology is making team building activities more immersive, innovative and interactive than ever before. With the help of tools like AI and VR, team building experiences are not only more fun but also more engaging and impactful.

Virtual reality team building takes collaboration to another level, blending the virtual and real world through activities such as VR Bomb Squad and VR Escape Room. AI-driven team building activities offer unique opportunities to engage with AI technology, pushing teams to think creatively and adapt quickly.

For outdoor adventures, GPS Treasure Hunt combines technology and exploration as teams navigate through clues and challenges using cutting-edge GPS technology. Meanwhile, Lights, Camera, Action encourages participants to use technology to shoot a movie trailer, blending creativity with tech-savvy skills.

These tech-powered activities highlight how embracing innovation can redefine team building for the modern workplace.

6. Alcohol-free

As individuals increasingly prioritise wellbeing, many are choosing to reduce alcohol consumption. Notably, Gen Z is leading this shift, with data indicating they drink on average 20% less than millennials, who also drink less than previous generations.

Embrace the alcohol-free culture by organising team building activities that spark genuine connection, active engagement and loads of laughter without the alcohol. In Master of the Tasks, stitches of laughter are guaranteed, and It’s a Knockout, with its inflatables, slides and epic costumes promises unforgettable fun.

Who needs alcohol when you can bond with colleagues over an epic shared experience, where hilarity and collaboration happen naturally? These team building activities create meaningful memories, plus, everyone will actually remember the fun the next day!

7. Soft skills

Organisations increasingly recognise the crucial role of soft skills like creativity, empathy and adaptability in workplace success. Unlike technical skills, which can often be automated or outsourced, soft skills are uniquely human and drive innovation, collaboration and effective communication within teams.

Team building activities that focus on developing soft skills help employees unleash their creativity, appreciate different perspectives and strengthen their connections with one another. For example, Masterpiece lets teams get creative with paint, while Living Art inspires collaboration as participants work together to bring a shared vision to life. Charity team building events add a meaningful twist by promoting social impact, fostering deeper understanding among colleagues and boosting empathy within the workplace.

By prioritising soft skills, you can future-proof your team, enhance overall performance and create a more cohesive, resilient and innovative workforce. It’s an investment in people that delivers lasting benefits.
