What a game can and can't do

Team building in Rotterdam is sometimes requested when there has been friction within a team for a while. Meetings are difficult, people avoid each other and the atmosphere is noticeably worse than a year ago. An afternoon of games won't remove the cause, and we're honest about that. What a game does do is put people on neutral ground, outside the fixed relationships of work. They work together on something that doesn't matter, and find that it goes quite well. That's a starting point a manager can build on afterwards.

With a team where there's friction, we choose activities in which nobody looks foolish and nobody is pitted against someone else. The team plays together against the clock or against the task. We divide the teams ourselves, so people end up next to someone other than their usual partner. The programme usually lasts two to three hours, at your own venue. A compact set-up starts at €195.

What we avoid

  • Tasks where someone is embarrassed in front of the group
  • Contests between camps that already exist
  • Role plays that re-enact your own work

What we do use

  • A shared opponent, such as the clock
  • Teams we put together, cutting across the usual groupings
  • Success that can only be achieved together

Frequently asked questions

Does team building solve problems in a team?

Not on its own. A game gives people a positive experience with each other and a different view of a colleague. The real cause then needs to be tackled at work.

What is the difference between team building and a team outing?

A team outing is a good day together with no further question behind it. With team building, there's something underneath, such as a team that isn't working well. We then choose the activities differently, with more cooperation and less competition between people.

Do we need to tell you what's going on?

A rough picture helps. We don't need names or details, but it helps to know whether, for example, there are two camps or whether it's mainly about silence. That determines which tasks we choose and how we divide the teams.

How much does team building in Rotterdam cost?

From €195 for the group for a compact format. The amount depends on the number of participants and the duration. After a short conversation about the team, you'll receive a concrete proposal.
