How to identify your team members’ personalities through Team Building

If you’re already familiar with the many benefits of organizing a team building event for your team, you might not yet have combined this engaging tool with the DISC model. DISC highlights personality traits, communication styles, and ways of interacting within a team. Bringing the two together allows you to explore these aspects in a fun and collaborative setting.
Discover how to better understand your colleagues’ personalities through team building.

What is the DISC model, and how can it be used in a corporate event ? 

Among the management tools available to help improve communication and identify employee profiles, the DISC model ranks at the top. This behavioral analysis framework identifies four key components of personality :

  • Dominance
  • Influence
  • Steadiness
  • Conscientiousness

By analyzing these components — which vary depending on how individuals perceive themselves within their environment — it becomes possible to determine a person’s dominant trait and their interaction style. Understanding each team member’s personality allows you to adapt your management approach and create a more collaborative and positive work environment.

Similarly, team building fosters motivation, cohesion, and communication within a group. Why not take advantage of your next corporate event to highlight your team’s strengths in a fun and unifying setting ?

Team building combined with DISC promotes positive workplace relationships, well-being, and smoother interpersonal communication across your team.

Team Building & DISC: How can team building help you identify your team members’ profiles ?

As mentioned, corporate activities create the ideal setting for strengthening group cohesion. And to boost that cohesion, understanding each teammate’s personality, behavior, communication style, and interaction patterns is your greatest asset.

Many of our team building experiences are designed to leverage the power of both DISC and team collaboration. For example, our Ascent of Mont Blanc and Eco Escape Game team buildings are perfectly suited for this dual objective.

If interpersonal tensions within your team require additional support, consider combining DISC and team building with the guidance of a professional team coach.
