Inclusion and diversity in the workplace are not just buzzwords – research has shown that inclusive and diverse organisations are associated with greater productivity, innovation, talent attraction, retention and employee wellbeing. Workplace diversity exists in all organisations and teams, as individuals have different backgrounds, identities and experiences. However, an inclusive workplace is one where these differences are valued and all employees are treated fairly and equally.
As our teams become more diverse, corporate team building activities should reflect this diversity. In the past, traditional team building exercises have fallen short, sometimes excluding or alienating participants, which defeats the whole purpose of bringing the team closer together.
To create truly inclusive team building activities, it’s important to consider the diverse needs and preferences of all team members. Whether it’s accommodating physical abilities, different interests or cultural backgrounds, inclusive team building activities ensure that everyone feels valued and included.
At GOTO Events, we offer a diverse corporate team building portfolio with fun and engaging activities designed to reflect the diversity of teams.

1. Accommodating all physical abilities
