CORPORATE TEAM BUILDING
One of the most significant investments you can make for your workforce is team building. The objective is to promote trust, manage conflict, promote communication, and create collaboration, which results in more motivated staff members, a better workplace environment, and a favourable effect on the bottom line. Even while team development is acknowledged as being important for workplace culture, many initiatives fall short. Employees are checking their phones and rolling their eyes instead of being enthused and engaged. 
General Information

CCR Corporate Team Building is a program designed for corporate teams that are looking for ways to have fun, improve communication and bond closer together. It’s a great way for groups to enjoy some recreational activity and get some exposure to the University of Alberta. Teams will have the opportunity to engage in some low and no impact activity. Sessions will be delivered by University of Alberta who are experienced in running recreational activities. 

Team building sessions do not include formal facilitation. Instead they are designed to be fun and informal. People will have the chance to get to know each other better while playing fun games and learning new skills. 

GoalTo conduct effective team-building exercises in a relaxed, enjoyable setting that encourages people to get to know one another better. 

The CCR Corporate Team Building Program will provide teams with: 

  1. Activities that allow teams to spend time together, share an experience and work towards a common goal. We won’t force leadership lessons on participants. Instead, we’ll set the stage for them to work together and communicate in order to organically bring the team closer together. 
  2. Unique activities that are slightly out of people’s comfort zone that allow all team members to try something new together. This will encourage team members to come together in new ways. 
  3. Fully equipped facilities that are safe and ready for teams to play and have fun together. 
  4. Experienced facilitators and instructors that will guide team members through activities. 
  5. Adaptable activities for all levels of physical ability

Front line customer service (including registration, payment processing, answering emails, etc) will be coordinated by the Club Sports Coordinator. Organization of staffing and delivery of Corporate Team Building and ActiveU sessions will be done by the Events Intern position.
