Planning a company social event to promote team building? Good for you! Social events are a great way to encourage team collaboration, build trust and increase engagement. Let's take a look at 40 creative company social event ideas to promote team building.
Active Ideas
- Segway Tour - Is there anything more memorable than seeing your entire team, management included, cruising around in helmets on segways? No. The answer is no.
- City Walking Tour - If you live near a city with a rich history, chances are likely they have organized walking tours with tour guides included.
- Amazing Race - Create your own amazing race and encourage people to pair up with a person they don't know very well. Or you can hire an event planning company to set this up for you.
- Rock Climbing - Whether they're a seasoned rock climber or it's their first time on the ropes, rock climbing is accessible for most people at various activity levels. Anyone who isn't comfortable with heights can help with the ropes down below. Either way, they'll be communicating and working as a team.
- Go for a Hike - If you live near anything hike-worthy, grab the water bottles and snacks and get going. Bonus points if you plan a picnic at the peak.
- Set Up Relay Races - Set up some relay challenges that encourage teamwork. Whether it's a DIY event or you bring in professional help to curate something truly unique, it'll be a day to remember.
- Join A Local Run - Check into local races. Find a neon run or a race with bands at various checkpoints. Oftentimes these races can also lend themselves to extension activities, such as race prep exercise groups and after race celebrations.
- Kayaking - Live near a local body of water? Rent a boat and kayaks. The vitamin D is good for everyone and the exercise will energize discussions.
