“…of all organization interventions, those that focus on team development had the largest effect on measures of financial performance.”

“It turns out that happiness and learning are tied very closely together. Trying new things with your staff can generate good vibes among employees, which in turn benefits the business itself. Choosing something unique and slightly outside of people’s comfort zones can encourage them to come together in new ways.”
Brian Scudamore, Forbes Contributor and CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK?
“Organizations and teams with higher employee engagement and lower active disengagement perform at higher levels. For example, organizations that are the best in engaging their employees achieve earnings-per-share growth that is more than four times that of their competitors.”
Gallup (2018)
“Team building is indeed highly effective for improving team member affective outcomes (i.e., engagement level, motivation, attitudes, etc.).”

Alana, Marketing & PR Manager at FirstBank VI
“Great team building event for our employee summer event. Set on Magens Bay beach the teams went through adventures such as a maze, kick soccer and kayaking. While hesitant at first, it was great to see the enthusiasm build as the adventure progressed and watch the pure joy when a team won.”
Tim, President of Theodore Tunick Insurance
“Theodore Tunick and Co did this for our annual day of fun. Many employees said it was our best one ever. Required thinking, leadership, and teamwork but at the same time was really fun. I got to visit several businesses and organizations which I was not familiar with as part of it.”
Melanie, VP of Human Resources at ICMC
“I had the pleasure of working with Anthony and his team to plan a half-day team building experience with approximately 150 employees. The experience was well-planned, executed and very creative! It was a good balance of learning, team-building, and fun. I recommend it to all teams looking for a fun and creative way to build camaraderie.”
