Why plan a corporate away day for your team?

Bring teams together

If your team works remotely, there’s no better way to bring your employees together to interact face to face and have some well-earned fun. Team away days are also great for helping new recruits integrate into the team.

Engage all your employees

Staff away days are all about the experience. The enjoyment factor is so important to ensure each and every member of your team has an incredible time. For this reason, we have a number of extremely fun activities tailored for any mixed audience.

Un unforgettable experience to talk about for months

To make you work away day as fun as it can be, consider these three things: activities, atmosphere and venue. We partner with thousands of amazing venues around the UK that offer stunning backdrops. A combination of delicious food, drinks, theming and fun activities can really make your away day one to remember!

Reward your employees and boost morale

What company doesn’t want to say thank you to their staff periodically throughout the year? In addition to the traditional Christmas party, most successful organisations also hold some form of mid-year summer event. This can be combined with business content, but fun and enjoyment is always top on the agenda!

Company away days can give you the right balance of venue, activities, atmosphere, entertainment, food, drinks and celebratory environment to make your staff feel valued and appreciated.

Turn your event into a party

Corporate away days come in all shapes and sizes. Many companies combine activities with an evening party or celebration, such as a delicious BBQ or a full-blown mini festival. GOTO Events have a huge amount of experience in creating incredible parties for any group size, any theme and any location. Get in touch today to get started.

Combine with a business meeting

Company away days are also perfect when combined with a business meeting or conference, to reestablish those valuable relationships and give your teams the chance to enjoy each other’s company outside of the workplace. Work away days can include elements of team building with activities encouraging communication, out-of-the-box thinking, support, innovation, inclusion and team cohesion.

Benefits of Company Away Days in London

More and more businesses throughout the UK are investing in team building events. Not only can they increase productivity and improve communication amongst staff, but they can also help develop problem-solving skills, which can be invaluable for business success. Let’s look closer at how team building events in London can benefit your business.

1. Increased employee productivity

More and more businesses throughout the UK are investing in team building events. Not only can they increase productivity and improve communication amongst staff, but they can also help develop problem-solving skills, which can be invaluable for business success. Let’s look closer at how team building events in London can benefit your business.

2. Better communication

Clear communication can often be the key to success in business, so it makes sense to take steps to improve how employees converse with each other. Team building events are the ideal way in which to develop their communication skills as they ensure that they must collaborate well if they wish to achieve success in the task.

What’s more, team building events are usually a lot of fun, and so provide the perfect setting for staff to get to know each other in a relaxed environment away from the office. This can help to build trust between employees.

3. More motivated employees

The sheer fact that you’ve hired the services of a team building events company in London demonstrates to your staff that you care about their success within the company. Our team building events are designed to help them develop and improve new and existing skills, and this is a strong indication that the company is committed to its employees. As a result, they’re likely to reciprocate this investment by also investing in the business through hard work. A team of motivated employees who look forward to coming to work every day can accomplish great things for your business.

4. Develop problem-solving skills

Team building games for employees usually involve a problem that must be solved. However, because this problem is simulated rather than real, employees may feel that there is less pressure on them compared to when problems arise in the workplace. This can help them to find ways to overcome hurdles to achieve a goal, and feel much more assured about their ability to do this. Staff develop problem-solving skills which they can then make use of in the workplace.

There are so many benefits to investing in team building events, both for your business and for your employees as individuals. We offer hundreds of different team building activities, from competitive challenges to creative workshops and charity endeavors. One thing’s for sure: fun is always on the agenda! No matter the size of your group and your budget, we can talk through your requirements and craft a custom team building experience for you.

What is a Charity Team Building Event?

A charity team building event is an activity where colleagues work together on a project or challenge that results in a charitable contribution. Charity activities usually include volunteering time, building equipment for a cause, or sourcing and donating items for those in need. Regardless of the chosen activity, the aim is to participate in a project that gives back to the community while improving teamwork, strengthening relationships and boosting employee morale.

Incorporating a charity cause into your next team building event can enhance team motivation and create a lasting sense of accomplishment, knowing that your efforts are making a genuine difference to the lives of others, locally and globally.

Why host a charity team building event?

Charity team building events offer employees a chance to participate in a meaningful shared experience where they learn to collaborate effectively, build trust and develop a deeper sense of purpose, leading to a more motivated and engaged workforce.

At GOTO Events, we’re passionate about the impact that team building can have on charitable efforts. That’s why, we’ve been working hard to increase our corporate charity events portfolio, offering a diverse range of engaging activities where teams can bond while making a real difference.

7 Charity Team Building Activity Ideas

1. Charity Bike Build - Build a bike for a child in need

Bicycles provide children with freedom, playful discovery and often, an essential means of transport for commuting to school. Unfortunately, not all children have the opportunity to own a bike, especially in rural parts of Africa where many of these charity bikes are bound for.

GOTO Events’ Charity Bike Build is more than just a team building exercise, it’s a chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. In this unique charity team building event, your team will assemble brand new children’s bikes that will be donated to underprivileged children through one of our selected charities, or a charity of your choice.

In order to earn the parts for the bikes, there are a series of mental and skill-based challenges and tasks that teams will need to complete. Safety briefing and expert guidance are provided throughout the activity to ensure the bikes can be safely used. As part of the team building challenge, teams will also be provided with the creative resources to add their personalised message onto their bike.

At the end of the charity activity, the completed bikes, soon to be cherished by children in need, will be presented in front of everyone to admire. After this, GOTO Events will collect all the bikes and donate them to the chosen charity.

In our Bike Build corporate charity event, not only will you experience the satisfaction of teamwork and problem-solving, but you’ll also leave the event with an undeniable sense of accomplishment, knowing you’ve positively impacted a child’s life.

2. Gift of the Gab - The ultimate charity scavenger hunt

With the cost of living crisis putting a strain on many charities, essential resources are more crucial than ever. GOTO Events invites you to participate in a meaningful charity team building activity that combines resourcefulness, collaboration and the joy of giving.

Our Gift of the Gab team building event is a charity scavenger hunt challenge that gives corporate teams the chance to step up and make a real difference while having fun and working together. Your team will be tasked with going around the town and sourcing specific items needed by our partner charities, from toothbrushes and hairbrushes to clothing and food. But there’s a twist! Negotiation skills will be key as you strategise to acquire items within the allocated budget.

The team who collects the most items within the budget will be the winner. But this exciting corporate charity day is more than just a competition. It’s a chance to bond with your team, test your creativity and ultimately, contribute to the wellbeing of those in need. Get you negotiation skills ready and find out more about our Gift of the Gab charity team building event.

3. Putt For a Purpose - Build-and-play charity mini golf

Supporting worthy causes not only benefits those in need, but also fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose within a team. This feel-good factor is central to the experience we’ve created at GOTO Events with our Putt for a Purpose charity team building event. This game of mini golf isn’t like any you’ve ever played before! We have taken the traditional game of mini golf and added a fun and charitable twist.

Instead of playing on a pre-made course, teams will build their own mini golf holes using materials from their supply pack or the creative zone such as cans and cereal boxes. Unleash your imagination and collaborate with your team to design and construct a challenging and fun hole.

Once all the holes are built, it’s time to test your putting skills and compete for the winning title. But the fun doesn’t end there! After the game, the team dismantles the course and all the materials used will be donated to a family in need or a charity of your choice. This sustainable aspect adds another layer of meaning to the experience, allowing you to combine your competitive spirit with charitable giving.

5. Paws For a Cause - Designing equipment for animals in need!

Many animal rescue shelters and sanctuaries rely on charitable donations to provide animals with a comfortable and enriching environment. In the UK, dedicated charities are struggling to provide furniture and feeders to the animals in their care.

GOTO Events’ Paws for a Cause is designed as a unique team building event that combines the joy of helping animals with the satisfaction of creating something tangible together. This charity activity allows your team to directly contribute to the welfare of animals in need by building feeders and furniture for local shelters.

This charity team building event starts with your host introducing you to the animal shelter you’ll be supporting and the specific needs of their furry residents. Next, your team will be guided through the planning stage where you will brainstorm ideas with your team. Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and build essential items for the animals, prioritising both safety and functionality.

Once each team has finished building their creations, the items will undergo safety checks and will be delivered to the shelters and installed for our furry friends to utilise. After the event, your team will receive a heartwarming video to showcase firsthand how the animals are using their creations.

Why Every Organisation Should Have a Company Fun Day

Enquire Now

Employee engagement and job satisfaction are critical for any organisation’s success. However, research shows many employees are not fully engaged at work. A Glassdoor study found 53% of employees say work culture significantly impacts their engagement and satisfaction. Additionally, a Gallup report revealed only 8% of staff are positively engaged, 57% are not fully engaged, and 35% are disengaged.

To boost employee engagement and satisfaction, consider having regular company days out with your staff. These activities can strengthen relationships, improve morale and make work more enjoyable. To help you out, here are some things to consider when organising a company fun day, team away day or team building activity.

What are Company Fun Days?

Company fun days are lighthearted events organised by a company for its employees and sometimes for employees and their families. Generally held off-site, company fun days can involve games, challenges or simply mingling over good food in a fun environment enabling people to relax outside of the everyday workplace. They are an ideal way to boost morale, increase motivation and show appreciation to employees for all their hard work.

Why Should Your Organisation Plan a Company Fun Day?

Organisations who host company days out will experience a multitude of benefits such as staff networking, interaction, team engagement and increased productivity. Company fun days are also a chance to get to know employees you may not always see on a day-to-day basis, and could be especially beneficial for teams working remotely or across separate offices and departments.

Corporate fun days are now a regular part of most organisations’ annual calendars as an important part of the modern-day company culture of fun, reward and celebration.

How Do You Choose the Right Venue for A Corporate Day Out?

Venue and location play a key part in any corporate event. The style of venue can increase the impact of the event, with the likes of country house hotels and sports stadiums providing the perfect backdrop.

GOTO Events works with over 1000 venues across the UK, from the impressive Tylney Hall in Hampshire to the famous Twickenham Stadium. Our large portfolio of venues means we can guarantee to find the perfect venue for your corporate fun day within 15 minutes from your office. Our venues include a diverse range of both indoor and outdoor facilities, including on-site conference and meeting spaces and accommodation for up to 1000 people. There are also numerous unique venues for corporate days out such as the Big Brother House, artificial surf lagoons and even your very own private island.

Our team building activities and events are fully mobile and we can travel to any venue in the UK where we will set up and run the activity with your audience. Get in touch so we can help with the perfect venue for your next team building event.

What Kind of Activities Can You Include in Your Company Fun Day?

This is often the million-dollar question. For small or large teams, companies often wonder what team building activities will have the maximum impact and provide something for everyone.

But you don’t have to stick to a particular theme. GOTO Events offer over 100 different team building activities for company fun days, all of which are designed with a mixed audience in mind. Company fun days come in all shapes and sizes, from outdoor large-scale festivals to more intimate team building activities such as cookery workshops, treasure hunt adventures, The Crystal Challenge, It’s a Knockout or a selection of classic country sports.

Our team are on hand to understand your requirements and create a memorable team building experience with the right balance of fun and education.

#1 Chain Reaction

Chain Reaction is an exciting and engaging team-building activity that fosters collaboration among the guests. Teams come together to construct various components of a mechanical story, which not only connect but also seamlessly integrate with other teams’ contributions in a chain reaction, culminating in a complete and cohesive tale.

Equipped with the necessary tools, each team is assigned different sections of the “chain” and tasked with communicating effectively and collaborating with neighbouring teams to successfully accomplish their mission.

This event is perfect for nurturing team relationships and fostering effective communication, making it an ideal choice for a challenging yet enjoyable corporate away day. Typically conducted over a few hours, Chain Reaction can be seamlessly incorporated after a conference or as an engaging afternoon activity away from the office.

#2 Masterpiece

Introducing the Masterpiece Challenge, a team building activity that ignites creativity and fosters collaboration by painting the bigger picture.

Your group will be divided into teams of 6 to 8 individuals, each assigned to a set of canvasses. The teams not only engage in the act of painting but also embark on a series of mini challenges to earn the supplies. These tasks encompass a wide array of activities, including logical quizzes, puzzles, mental challenges, visual tasks, and even elements of engineering. By successfully completing these challenges, teams acquire their crucial blueprints, and paints to aid them in their quest to realise their masterpiece.

The resulting masterpiece never fails to leave guests awestruck, as the standard of the results is consistently exceptional.

#3 Rollercoaster Tycoon

Get ready to immerse yourself in the thrilling world of a theme park as you embark on an extraordinary creative activity! Your mission: construct a fully functional rollercoaster that propels a ball along its track for a minimum of 45 seconds. Brace yourself for an adrenaline-pumping adventure filled with twists, turns, and heart-stopping moments.

This event is all about the collaboration, where teams join forces to achieve a common objective: building an awe-inspiring rollercoaster structure. The twist, however, lies in the fact that each team is responsible for constructing their own section of the track. Constant communication is key as they must ensure seamless integration between their sections, fostering a sense of unity. Together, these teams work harmoniously to create a colossal masterpiece that unites at the grand finale.

Once the sections are completed, every team will have the opportunity to play the full golf course, putting their skills to the test. The teams with the lowest combined scores will be crowned the victors, showcasing their prowess on the mini-golf course.

As the event draws to a close and the winning teams are celebrated, the GOTO Events team will diligently dismantle and pack up the course. But the story doesn’t end there—these items will be donated to the designated charity or a deserving family in need. Through this act of kindness, the event not only fosters team spirit but also leaves a lasting impact on those in need.

#5 Charity Bike Build

If you’re seeking an activity or experience that not only promotes team unity and purpose but also contributes to a meaningful cause, then look no further than our charity team building experiences. We collaborate with numerous charities worldwide, ensuring that each experience is deeply intertwined with their mission.

Our most popular charity event revolves around teams constructing bicycles from scratch, but it encompasses much more than that! Before diving into the building process, teams must engage in a series of engaging games, tasks, and challenges to bike parts. Many of these activities are directly linked to the skills necessary for bike assembly and maintenance.

Teams are encouraged to build each bike with their unique touch, leveraging a variety of creative resources to fuel their imagination and personalise their creations.

Once completed, all the bikes are presented, allowing teams to admire and appreciate each other’s efforts. After the event every bike is generously donated to one of our nominated charities or a charity of your choosing, ensuring that these vehicles bring joy and support to those in need.

The Benefits of Indoor Team Building: Why Your Company Should Consider It!

The Benefits of Indoor Team Building: Why Your Company Should Consider It!

Enquire Now

In every workforce, lies a highly competitive business, that behind the scenes requires a strong and cohesive team to allow for its ongoing success. That’s why we do what we do, and where team building comes into play.

By engaging employees in indoor team building events, companies can reap the benefits, that come in multitude.

What are the Benefits of Indoor Team Building?

#1 Communication & Collaboration

Effective communication and collaboration are the core of any successful organisation. Indoor team events provide an ideal opportunity for employees to interact with one another outside of their day-to-day regular work commitments. By taking part in activities such as problem-solving challenges, trust building exercises or simply team-based games, individuals amongst a team can develop better communication skills, learn to listen actively and ultimately build trust amongst team members.  These improved interpersonal relationships foster a more cohesive and collaborative work environment, leading to enhanced productivity and efficiency.

#2 Creativity and Innovation

Team building exercises often involve creative problem-solving task and often brainstorming sessions. By encouraging teams to think outside of the box and work together to find innovative ideas and solutions, it allows the teams to develop their creativity skills.

It is often overlooked that when a person feels comfortable expressing their views and encouraged to collaborate, they become more comfortable expressing their ideas and confident in sharing perspectives.

#3 Boosting Morale and Motivation

High employee morale and motivation are crucial for a positive work environment and improved performance. Indoor team building activities provide employees a break from their usual daily work activities, allowing departments to bond, form connections and develop a sense of camaraderie.

As a result, and one that is often highly noted by our teams is that individuals feel more valued, appreciated and feel like they are more than just a number. In turn, this produces higher motivation levels, and increased productivity.

#4 Productivity and Efficiency Improvements

Effective team building activities enhance communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, leading to improved productivity and efficiency in the workplace. When team members understand each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and working styles, they can streamline processes, leverage individual talents, and work more cohesively towards common goals.

#5 Employee Relationships

Team building activities help foster strong relationships among team members. When employees feel comfortable working with one another, they are more likely to share knowledge, collaborate, and support each other. These positive relationships contribute to a harmonious work environment and improved team dynamics.

#6 Employee Engagement

Engaged employees are more likely to go the extra mile and contribute their best efforts towards achieving organisational objectives and goals. Team building activities provide a platform for employees to connect with their work and the company’s mission, fostering a sense of belonging and commitment. Engaged employees are more productive, have higher job satisfaction, and are less likely to seek employment elsewhere.

Why are Indoor Team Activities Important for Staff Wellbeing?

1. Stress Relief & Work-life Balance:

Indoor team building activities offer employees a chance to unwind and engage in enjoyable experiences outside of their usual work responsibilities. These activities provide a much-needed break from the daily grind, allowing employees to recharge and relieve stress. By prioritising staff well-being through team building, companies contribute to a healthier work-life balance and reduce the risk of burnout.

2. Increased Employee Satisfaction:

When employees feel supported by their colleagues, and management, they experience higher job satisfaction. Indoor events create a positive work environment where employees feel valued, appreciated, and understood. Thus, resulting in increased staff satisfaction, reduced absenteeism, and improved overall wellbeing.

3. Strengthened Team Cohesion:

Team building exercises build trust and foster a sense of unity among employees. By encouraging open communication, collaboration, and support, team building activities create an atmosphere where employees feel comfortable seeking help from their colleagues. This support network can provide a vital source of motivation, encouragement, and problem-solving assistance, strengthening staff well-being and resilience.

Top New Virtual Team Building Events for 2023

Top New Virtual Team Building Events for 2023

Enquire Now

As strong believers of getting out of the office, we also understand that this is not always possible! Whether it be uncontrollable external factors, or travel limitations your global team might be facing, you can still get together as a full team even if you’re not physically together.  

Over the last few years, we have found that team building activities are the perfect way to boost morale, ease new starters into a team, provide a much-needed break from the day-to-day work life, and even more. Even if you and your team are unable to come together in person, there are a wide range of virtual events that are still able to provide that social interaction and team bonding that can benefit everyone when they return to the workplace. 

Gone are the days of joining onto a group call with your entire team that begins with glossed over and tired eyes. With different themes, challenges, and games, our virtual events are guaranteed to lift the mood and get everyone interacting with one another for some team building, no matter the distance.

You’ve probably seen the boom of virtual events across the web over the last few years. The ability to tweak and re-design these events promotes a range of different benefits, and their popularity has grown exponentially. Not only are you able to join in through the comfort of your own home or from the office, but there are also various virtual events that incorporate your external environment. Alternatively, if you don’t have the supplies needed and readily available, our dedicated projects and operations team will be able to support you from start to finish.  

Top 4 Benefits of Virtual Team Building Events

Virtual Team Building Events

#1 Engage With Remote Workers

The recent changes in the working environment have meant that many teams either work fully remote or with a form of hybrid working. We have found that corporate virtual team building events are a great way to engage with remote workers, no matter where in the world they are. Bringing your team together is a great way to keep up to date on ongoing projects that you probably are not involved in, but with the added benefit of a fun, exciting event with challenges to release your competitive side.  

#2 Improve Important Transferable Skills

The lack of body language and other physical social cues over virtual meetings has indicated the importance of better communication online. The use of virtual events can provide you and your team with the transferable skills needed to work better together and collaborate efficiently from a distance. Whether that be co-working on a project, managing time effectively, and finding ways to communicate a point across, each of these are integrated within our virtual events to give you a fresh view on improving these skills with games and challenges.  

#3 Zoom Fatigue Reset

Connectivity is amazing, but it can be draining and become mundane. We have found that due to how frequently Zoom and other online platforms are used, many employees are starting to feel disconnected and lost behind a screen. Introducing a virtual event and different activities that break the Zoom routine of client calls, or remote meetings, can help to bring something exciting to look forward to for everyone on your team. Give your Zoom experience a reset with something out of the ordinary.  

#4 Accessibility

Perhaps you have members on your team that have accessibility needs, or members on the team that would struggle to meet even in a centralised location. The benefit of virtual events is that it is easily accessible by all. All you need is a device, an internet connection, and our team will be available to support you from start to finish. If you are unable to leave your house to gather items to support with the virtual event, fear not! Our projects and operations team can get these delivered to you ahead of the day.
