Team building, training and workshops
Corporate entertainment, staff training, and team building workshops are increasingly seen as essential to the running of a successful company. For a relatively small outlay, you are rewarded with increased staff motivation, increased productivity and a happier workforce. We at Holiday Inn have 120 excellently equipped venues for corporate team building exercises, training workshops and corporate hospitality events across the UK.
Although staff often groan at team-building exercises, secretly they usually find them tremendous fun – especially if there's an element of surprise, and the chance to leave the office environment for a while. This is why it's a good idea to hold these events in a hotel like ours, rather than in-house. Outside their working environment, staff get the chance to shine in a way they never would at work.
How team building games can help your business
Many people book meeting rooms as a way to break the ice with new employees. Yet ice-breaking sessions can easily be turned into something more, and involve some form of entertainment. If your company is undergoing a period of change and improvement, team games are the perfect way to break the ice with new colleagues, break down barriers of communication, dissipate any frictions that may have been building and reveal hidden talents among staff.
While the theme of a workshop may seem to have little relevance to work, something as simple as a role play exercise, "human chess" game or paintball tournament will have people thrashing out problems as a team; thinking "outside the box" and taking leadership roles when normally they wouldn't. Workshops are a great way to develop customer relationship management (CRM) skills too.
Corporate entertainment – more than just the staff party
Corporate entertainment takes many different forms, from hiring actors for "Murder Mystery" weekends, to booking a professional band for the firm's annual dinner-and-dance, to arranging drumming workshops with professional musicians.
The term corporate hospitality was originally coined for events, often held in hotels, for sales people to forge new relationships or strengthen existing ones with customers. This has extended to staff incentives like the staff party; team building techniques such as drumming and drama workshops; training exercises and much more. A well-known face presenting an after-dinner speech, or handing out the "Employee of the Year" awards, are perfect examples of corporate entertainment.
Training workshops in our hotels
A hotel is the perfect venue for a staff training event, which today can cover many areas. It could be improving the customer relationship protocol; acquiring new knowledge; learning new techniques or developing better communication skills.
Although our hotels are equipped with Broadband and have full Wi-Fi coverage, when it comes to workshop sessions it can often be a good idea to resort to "old-fashioned" methods such as notebooks, flip-charts and whiteboards. This is especially true in corporate team building events, where you want as much staff interaction as possible.
Whatever your team-building, training or corporate hospitality event might be, we at Holiday Inn can provide everything you need. Many of our hotels can also arrange activities – anything from assault-course training to nightclub events. All you have to do is ask.
