MoneyMagpie has highlighted that team activities are a way to encourage employees to connect and relax, but noted that team building can sometimes be costly. The publication suggests that expensive weekends away or corporate events are not necessary to bring a team together.
Instead, MoneyMagpie proposes various affordable activities that can be engaging for employees. These include organising a friendly sports day in a local park, trying paintball, or planning a picnic lunch. Other suggestions are workplace quizzes, DIY cooking or baking challenges, exploring the local area, and holding a board game afternoon.
For companies seeking a wider purpose, volunteering as a team is also recommended. This can involve helping local charities or community organisations with projects, which MoneyMagpie states can create a strong sense of teamwork.
