“Gone are the days when teams just want to go to the pub and get drunk” – says Neil Cleaver from EML Team Building.
Over the last 5 years, Neil and the team at EML Team Building have taken note and updated their offerings in line with the needs of more modern-thinking businesses.
Workplaces now opt for more motivating team building events to not simply improve morale but also deliver engaging experiences that align with their own, as well as their companies’, values.
According to Neil, co-founder of our award-winning Midlands-based firm, traditional approaches to team building no longer generate as much interest with today’s workforce. Professionals are looking for more than just casual social gatherings, pool tables at work, the occasional ice cream in the fleeting heatwave… they want a totally immersive, memory making experience. In turn, business leaders are looking for meaningful options and venues when it comes to saying ‘thank you’ to valued team members.
EML Team Building understands these needs and have evolved to not only meet, but exceed, them. Neil and the team specialise in creating bespoke team building events that make a lasting, appreciated experience for all involved.
Offering unique experiences tailored for topical events like Christmas, Halloween and winter-themed gatherings, at amazing venues, or bespoke corporate offerings to suit specific requirements like Bridge Building, Taskmaster, Lego Master Builders, Scavenger Hunt and Crystal Maze. All of our events can be found here.
Neil continues: “These events not only strengthen bonds but also align with cultural sensitivities, ensuring inclusivity among diverse teams, including those from cultures where traditional social outings may be less suitable.”
Organisations are increasingly recognising the strategic value of team building events to demonstrate their sincere appreciation of their team. By opting to thank their teams with these curated experiences, companies not only boost morale but also enhance employee retention. Research indicates that engaged teams are more productive and committed, leading to significant cost savings for businesses. EML Team Building simplifies the organisational process by handling every detail, from planning to execution, and often supporting HR departments by alleviating logistical burdens.
