VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING

We have adaptations to our regular programs to accommodate groups that don't physically work in the same location. More and more groups operate remotely and maintaining relationship in the real world becomes more difficult. We help to quickly dispel the personal barriers between people when they do get together and make the most of such events.

TEAM BUILDING OPTIONS FOR GROUPS THAT WORK REMOTELY


Creating trust and success within your organization requires teamwork. It is even more important for companies operating in a remote environment. This means that team members often don't get the opportunity to meet and learn to work together.

NEED VIRTUAL VIRTUAL TEAM BUILDING?
While most of our events are designed to work with teams that come together and are in the same room, we are capable of adapting to groups that can't come together for whatever reason. This, more than anything else that we do, requires a conversation to discuss your needs and budget. There are lots of options and we can clarify with a quick phone call. So, if you have a remote team that will not be getting together but needs to enhance their interactions, give us a call!

We provide a fun time that makes a group more receptive to information and more likely to actively participate. Groups that laugh together work well together.

WHY COMEDY
Having people laugh along the way makes them more open to new ideas and more likely to take lessons to heart. We bring funny people that can deliver serious amounts of information in an amusing manner. This helps to make any session more effective.

ISSUES WITH VIRTUAL TEAMS

THESE ARE SOME OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE TRY TO ADDRESS FOR REMOTE WORKERS:

  • TRUST - With a lack of accountability due to being invisible to the group, others may suspect a lack of work ethic and not trust that the employee is fully invested in the project.
  • COMMUNICATION - Reliance on electronic communication can lead to misunderstanding and errors that lead to team members pointing to each other as the cause.
  • HOME PROBLEMS - With employees working from home, they can have issues of maintaining a schedule, technological problems since they don't have access to the IT Department, and distractions that might run into the room while they're on a Zoom Meeting.
  • SOCIALIZATION - Employees that work remotely tend to not go out to lunch together, or spend other downtime with one another. This leads to a lack of familiarity that can cause a problem when it comes to judging intentions.

A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH
Let's be honest, team building has a bad reputation among many employees. The average employee thinks of team building as listening to a hippie in Birkenstocks talk about auras and energy. The reality of the experience is much different. Our professionals come from the business world. Our team building workshops are designed with true practical goals in mind.

TEAM BUILDING APPROACHES

METHODS THAT WE USE FOR BONDING EMPLOYEES

Using a variety of techniques, employees interact with one another and get to know their fellow workers as human beings as opposed to job titles. This allows them to get past initial bureaucratic concerns or organization and to begin pulling together in unified purpose.

We can engage the competitive spirit to have employees bond with one another. They work as teams without realizing that the true purpose is building trust. They collaborate, engage in time management, and cheer for one another to succeed. These can also benefit charities.

Getting people to laugh and enjoy a show together gets groups to bond. We provide improv comedy, game shows and murder mystery dinners that have particular approaches to benefit work groups without them realizing the real purpose for the company party.

There are several structures that can allow people that do not know each other that well to become more familiar. These can include games, murder mysteries, and trainings. We can even have a combination of events to be more effective.

WHAT GOALS HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED?

  1. MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING: - By understanding each other and knowing each others' goals and aspirations, everyone is in a better position to help each other and to motivate employees.
  2. GROUP SPIRIT: - A group of individuals just isn't as effective as a group working together. We work towards creating something of a unified spirit without losing their individuality.
  3. TEAMWORK: - Often organizations suffer from duplication of effort and micro-management. We assist teams to trust one another more completely. This includes entrusting someone with tasks and then living up to that trust. Taking responsibility and accomplishing what someone sets out to do. We also encourage checking each other's work, but as a means to improve one-another instead of being seen as a punishment or lack of trust.
  4. A FEELING OF APPRECIATION: - Setting goals for employees to motivate them to achieve greater success is highly important. Having a way to show that you appreciate their efforts while utilizing performances that are more acceptable as an expense is vital. We have a selection of meetings and incentives awards programs that get people laughing and having a good time while bonding with fellow employees.

We can work with the managers as a team, the chief as an individual, or with an all-hands event and get everyone bonding with one another as a whole cohesive team.


With years of experience providing corporate team building services, the staff of THEY improv bring their business consulting skills to solve your employee bonding needs.

WE LISTEN TO YOU
Prior to any corporate team building workshop, THEY improv listens to your needs and consults with you to determine the particular needs of your group, issues that need to be considered, timing, location and budget concerns to customize a program to help achieve the needs of the company in the best way possible.

Beyond companies, we can also develop programs for church groups, fraternal organizations, Non-Profit Charities, political campaigns and just about any other type of group looking to improve the quality of their workers or volunteers.

WE CARE FOR YOU! We care for you and your guests. We will discuss your desires for safety measures regarding Covid-19 and want you to feel secure in the knowledge that we are looking out for you, our client.

OUR GREEN COMMITMENT While ultimately we serve our clients in the way that they require, we work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of any event. We recycle, utilize local talent when preferable, and look to leave places better than we found them. When we do travel, we take pains to reduce our impact on the environment.

green events

We provide corporate team building throughout the United States, and even beyond! Wherever you might be along the Atlantic Coast, the MidWest, the South, the West Coast, or anywhere else, we stand ready to help your group to have fun. This includes in the big cities, the suburbs, or further outside the urban areas. We do not provide the food or the venue. We come to you and help educate your employees while they have a great time!

food venue

WE COME TO YOU!
We work with groups that are small, medium and large. We also work with people that are in the city, the suburbs, and that are in more rural areas. It never made sense to get our own facilities. We come to a venue of your choosing and this allows you to make your own food and beverage options. In general, you want enough light to see, enough space to move around comfortably, and it should be quiet enough to hear. Everything else can be adjusted to. We also have our insurance in order and can have COIs with your venue as an additional insured, if required.

WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

1

WHAT IS THE REASON?

The first step is to determine your needs. This includes potential goals, desires and concerns. The more we know about what has already been decided can allow us to narrow the conversation to approaches that interest you.

2

WHAT ARE THE DETAILS? WHERE? WHEN? HOW MANY?

We need to know the city where the event will be as well as what kind of venue might be used. A date, or date range, for when you would like to have this and what time frame you are looking for will help to determine our commitment and availability. Knowing the size of your group, though that will likely just be an estimate, will allow us to choose appropriate options and have a better feel for the resources required.

3

DO YOU HAVE A BUDGET?

If you know budget limitations, that can allow us to restrict the conversations to those options that will be within your financial constraints. This works in both directions. We don't want to overbuild and propose options that can't be done. Also, we don't want to provide less than we could realizing the resources that could be made available to better achieve your goals.
