Our community looks at workplace bonding
This month we decided to see what The Chartered Governance
Institute and Core communities think about how their organisations
approach team building. The majority of organisations do not offer
a formal programme with only 46% of our responders stating that
this is something their company has avaliable.
Responders regularly said that it was an informal arrangement
that was dependent on line managers. One said: “My
organisation does not offer a team building ‘programme’
as such but it does provide regular training to senior leaders,
which includes training on leading a high-performing team,
management and communication, and teamwork generally. My
organisation provides budget for team lunches and off-sites but
these are convened at the discretion of the team head”.
Another claimed “It is left up to the individual teams to
arrange themselves, which in turn means it is leader dependant and
therefore some do and some don’t”.
