Team outing
in Tilburg
The attitude people arrive with is set in the invitation, not on the day itself. From €195 for the group.
What you do and don't tell people beforehand
What you announce beforehand decides the attitude people walk in with. Say nothing, and part of the group expects the worst: forced cooperation, having to open up in front of the whole department, a game nobody asked for. Say everything, and there's nothing left to experience. The answer lies in between, and exactly where varies by team.
We help the organiser with what can go in the invitation. It usually works to state the format and the time and leave the content open: what time it starts, how long it lasts, whether there's walking and whether you need to wear anything special. That removes the biggest objections. We keep what exactly is going to happen out of it, because that's the only thing you can still surprise a group with. We also say beforehand what won't happen. Nobody has to stand in front of the group alone and nobody gets singled out. That reassures more people than you'd expect.
What belongs in the invitation
- Start time, end time and where it is
- Whether there's walking and what to wear
- That taking part isn't compulsory
What you're better off leaving out
- The content of the tasks
- The team split, which we do on the day
- Words like team building, if that's not what it is
Frequently asked questions
What do we put in the invitation?
The invitation should contain the format, the time and what to wear, and otherwise as little as possible. What time it starts, how long it lasts, whether there's walking and whether you need to wear anything special. Leave the content open, because that's the only thing you can still surprise people with.
Will you help with the announcement?
On request we'll write a short text with you that the organiser can forward. It says what people can expect and also what won't happen, because that second part takes away the most resistance in many teams.
Can people refuse to take part?
Taking part is never compulsory, and we say so out loud at the start. In practice almost nobody drops out once it's clear that nobody is singled out. If someone would rather watch, they watch.
Do you have something for a small budget?
For a tight budget there's a compact format from €195. It's shorter and has fewer activities, but we're still there in person and the equipment comes with us. If the budget doesn't match what you have in mind, we'll say so before you commit to anything.
