Corporate Team Building – Catalina Island Style!
Corporate team-building is paramount to the success of any company. Satisfied employees are more creative, productive and work more effectively in groups. The payoff from putting on a team-building event is simple to understand; increased creativity and productivity!
Workers spend week after week side by side in the office, but rarely get to know each other in social settings. Putting down the mouse and picking up the volleyball creates a whole new dynamic for your team members. Activities like this are crucial for overcoming stereotypes and breaking everyday office routine thinking.
Inviting your employees to interact on a level playing field, away from the hierarchies and job titles, helps them begin to understand the importance of being a cohesive team, capable of achieving goals as a team. This is as simple as picking up a ball and having a good time with each other.
Catalina Island is an exciting destination to have your corporate team-building event. Catalina Island has the resources in place for corporate events, and is a convenient drive and ferry ride from Los Angeles or San Diego. Following are some great ideas to add to your list of team-building events, all waiting for you on Catalina Island:
Catalina Island Golf Cart Road Rally
This is no ordinary road rally! Four person teams take to the streets of Avalon in a one of Catalina Islands famous modified golf carts, armed with a colorful local area map and a booklet of Avalon trivia. Participants learn about Catalina’s abundantly rich history while practicing their teamwork. Each find is documented with a Polaroid camera and points are scored as team members race to meet their goals. This Road Rally is a great way to learn about the island and is a wonderful team building experience.
