How to organize a day of cohesion within your company ?

Your teams seem to be lacking in spirit ? You want to unite your employees around a common goal or boost communication within your company ? Business seminars are a good way of achieving these objectives. From team building to a company party, you can also go through the Cohesion Day ! What is a cohesion day ? How to organize it and what team building activities to plan? Here is our step-by-step guide.

What can you expect from a day of cohesion ?

Cohesion Day is a multi-hour, friendly event designed to strengthen team-building. Organized by HR around fun group activities, whether creative, cultural or sporting, it is a unique moment in the life of your company and that of your employees.

By organizing a team building day, you create an atmosphere conducive to relaxation and learning through play. Gamification is a source of many benefits within a company culture. It contributes to :

• Improve communication ;
• Stimulating collective intelligence ;
• Strengthen the bonds between your team members ;
• Strengthen the sense of belonging of each employee ;
• Increase motivation ;
• Foster a strong corporate culture.

You thus have all the conditions to highlight the interpersonal skills of participants, encourage their collaboration, and thus foster a positive working climate.

How to organize a team building day ?

1. Choose the ideal place for a day of cohesion : large spaces, green areas, adapted premises, accessibility, etc. and general atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
2. Clearly define the objectives of the cohesion day and the means to evaluate the success of your corporate event.
3. Set up a motivating project thanks to animation tools such as team building activities : motivation and commitment are the key words of your day of cohesion! Consider working on them well in advance of your day of cohesion.
4. Customize activities according to the objectives and profiles of participants: CSR-oriented workshops, sports challenges, cultural activities, etc.
5. Encourage the commitment of all team members and foster communication thanks to a positive and dynamic facilitator: on site, but also before and after your group bonding day.

What activities for a team building day? 4 Team Building ideas

Unlike the holding of a workshop or an animation, the cohesion day is structured around the holding of several group activities spread over the day. The ideal for us is to organize them in two parts, one series of activities in the morning and another in the afternoon.

Rest assured, the choice of animations for a day of cohesion is vast and your schedule will be quickly filled. Communication workshop, group game, Escape Game or team challenge around a collaborative project are all options available to make this event a unifying turning point.

At Teams Connect, we have developed several team building activities :

1. The Eco-Escape Game, the CSR Team Building or the gamified IPCC report !
2. The Urban Race or the Nature Race, two time-trials adapted to your day of cohesion
3. The Puzzle Wall or the perfect ice-breaking activity around enigmatic challenges
4. The Hour of Power, our participatory team building

Our choice of Team Building does not stop there, and we modulate each one according to your requirements, the place of your company event, the number of participants and even the weather ! Contact our team to discuss your project and get the maximum benefit from your day of cohesion through a customized and professional management.
