How does team building improve morale and engagement?

By giving a team a shared win that has nothing to do with the backlog. A build program ends with something the team made (a guitar, a bike for a child, a bridge that holds everyone's weight); a game show ends with a scoreboard the whole room watched; a charity program ends with donations going out the door. The effect the facilitators see is the same: people who work together all year talk to each other differently after two hours of that.

Programs on this page carry Fun & Engaging Interaction under Goals & Outcomes. They are the most-booked kind of program we run, and most run for 30 to 1,000+ in 1 to 2.5 hours.

What clients say

We enjoyed the whole thing very much! Our facilitator was early, energetic the whole time, funny, engaging, and everyone loved him. He probably deserves a raise.

More client comments

We have done game shows at all of our sales meetings in the past, but your Best Corporate Feud program using keypads that involved everyone at the event with the game show ending was the most innovative and inclusive game show we have ever done.

I have never seen my group so energetic. We have done many different team building activities in the past but “Light Speed” was by far the best. After the program, I heard many folks stating “I’m exhausted from laughing so hard!” and “We had so much fun”! I would recommend Light Speed to any group who is looking for energy level 10!

Thank you so very much for yesterday’s Bike Build Donation event. We had such a great time together… your lead facilitator was the best ever! One of our colleagues who joined us wants to have the same event at his U.K. facility. It has been a pleasure working with everyone at Best Corporate Events to make this wonderful event happen! We look forward to having another event sometime next year.

I wanted to take a second and say thank you for the great job you guys did at the Bike Build on Tuesday. The group had an amazing time and the added bonus of having the kids there to receive them was truly special. Thank you so much for time, effort and leadership. I look forward to working with you again.

Heather

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic, energetic, and perfect facilitation of our Bike Build with iPads. The employees of SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management wanted to do a community service event and this was perfect. We had great reviews and the team loved it. I look forward to working with you again.

Diane

SHRM

I just wanted to send out a HUGE thank you for a wonderful event last week. The response from the team has been fantastic! I think we will most likely do another event like this for them next year. After experiencing the group, if you can let me know what you think would be good options for them I would appreciate it. I am sure it will be hard to beat the bike build. Thanks again for everything. Our hopes are to pitch your services to many more of our clients.

We felt so privileged and honored to take part in your new Bike Build program. We couldn’t stop talking about the integration of the iPads – they were a great added value! I also loved that I just booked the program and your team handled the rest. Your facilitator was a great leader- funny, personable and very excited which got everyone super motivated. My team said they would never forget it!

Frequently asked questions

Which team building activity is best for morale?

For energy in a big room, a game show or A Minute 2 Win It!. For a team that needs to reconnect, a build program in mixed teams. For a team that wants meaning, a charity program such as Bike Build Donation.

How long does a morale program take?

Most run 1 to 2.5 hours and fit into an existing meeting or offsite; no extra day required.

Does this work for a remote team?

Yes. Virtual game shows and Virtual SmartHunts run the same formats over video for distributed teams.

Can we measure the effect?

Facilitators close every program with a debrief, and you can pair it with your own engagement survey before and after. We do not publish engagement statistics we cannot verify.

How many people can take part?

Every program on this page runs for 30 to 1,000+. People play or build in small teams, and the format scales by adding teams, so a department and a whole company get the same program.

What space and equipment do we need?

Most programs need about 25 square feet per person, indoors or outdoors. Game shows bring their own projection, sound effects and buzzer system; for groups over 50 a microphone and sound system help the host be heard.

Can a morale program also give back?

Yes. Bike Build Donation, Bears and Blankets and STEM Backpacks for Kids run 1 to 2 hours, and the donations go to charitable partners in the host city, so the team's win is also someone else's.
