Team outing
in Enschede
A team outing is a good afternoon with people who already know each other. There's no feedback and nobody is assessed. From €195 for the group.
A day where nothing has to come out of it
A team outing in Enschede usually comes from one department: a group that talks every day wants to do something different for an afternoon. Even so, we're almost always asked whether the day should deliver something too. Not with us. We don't measure anything, nothing is fed back to the manager and there's no test hidden in the tasks. There's a reason for that. As soon as a group suspects it's being watched, everyone starts watching their words and the afternoon delivers less than an ordinary Friday. If you do want to put a question underneath the day, that calls for team building. If it's about the whole workforce rather than one team, a staff outing is the right format.
We're based at Piet Heinstraat 12 in Enschede, so coming to look at a space in the city doesn't cost us a day's travel. We're glad to do that before anything is fixed, because a canteen with a low ceiling or a courtyard with only one exit decides which activities fit in it. From your side we need a room or an area of outdoor space, power, and a rough headcount. We bring the equipment, tasks and hosts, and build everything ourselves. Setting up takes about an hour and that time falls outside the length of the programme.
What's not included
- No evaluation and no feedback to management
- No questionnaire or test hidden in the tasks
- No round where everyone has to say something about themselves
What we bring
- Tasks that we devise ourselves and build in-house
- Hosting that takes over the instructions and the clock
- A firm end time, so the rest of the afternoon can be planned
Frequently asked questions
Does it come with a learning goal or an evaluation?
We don't include a learning goal. We keep no record of who did what, and no report goes to a manager afterwards. If you do want to put a question underneath the day, for example about cooperation between two cliques, you're better off with a team building format. We'll say so in advance, so you don't buy one thing and expect another.
What's the difference between a team outing and a staff outing?
A team outing is about one team or department, people who talk every day and who fit together in one room. For a staff outing the whole staff list is on the invitation, including shifts and evening crews who barely meet each other. That calls for a different set-up and often two sessions on the same day.
Do you come to our office in Enschede?
Coming to your venue is our normal way of working. We run programmes all over the Netherlands, and in Enschede we're at your door within a quarter of an hour. Your own canteen, workshop or back yard often works better than a hired hall, because everyone already knows the way.
How big can the team be?
Groups of about ten to sixty people are our usual size. Below ten the game changes, because there are no longer teams facing each other. Above sixty, activities run side by side and hosts are added, and we discuss that separately.
What does a team outing at your workplace cost?
A compact programme for a half day starts at €195. If it's an afternoon with several activities or something we build specially for you, that starts at €550. Larger projects we price on request. Send an enquiry with the group size and a rough date, and you'll have an answer within one working day.
