Team building--in the corporate world, we have all heard of it. Because of its perceived effectiveness, it has begun to creep into diverse fields as a way to strengthen the overall efficiency of the working environment, and therefore increase production in the long run.

Despite this optimistic theory, not all managers, bosses, and CEOs buy into team building practices as a way of bettering their businesses. After all, profits have been made and business has boomed without all the touchy-feely nonsense--right?

While a lack of overt team building activities has not seemed to historically hinder the endeavors of capitalism, such activities have certainly helped each individual team, regardless of the business, become more like a well-oiled machine.

The overarching goal of team building is to allow groups of colleagues that participate to become more in synch as they understand each other better. While the types of team building exercises are as diverse as you can possibly think, the purpose of each is to focus your associates on increased cooperation.

This is particularly helpful if you work in an office or other work setting that has cliques, factions, or other divisive issues that tend to prevent people from working toward common solutions.

Be aware that if these problems are long-standing and run deep, they will not be immediately banished. Persistent team training, potentially including individual meetings with problem team members, should diminish some of these issues. But if, after multiple teambuilding events, there still exists serious conflict, you might need to assess reorganizing your team.

Creative team building, perhaps the kind brought about by an exclusive business retreat, will help your employees to look forward to these events, which boosts associates' overall morale.

They will feel that they are treated well by their employer, which will encourage them to participate both in the team building events and to a greater extent in the work itself.

Team building exercises are a great way to introduce new employees into the group as well. The point of team building it is to turn your team into a group of tight-knit individuals, but this can make it difficult for newcomers to fit in, unless they become quickly familiarized with what makes everyone tick.

That is why it is best to implement smaller exercises on a monthly or even weekly basis. Larger retreats should be scheduled at least quarterly. Because these require some prior arrangements, make sure employees can easily tell when the next one will be.

If you still feel skeptical about the benefits of team building events, just test them out and see what happens. You may be pleasantly surprised at the results.
