Team building events are nothing new and lots of companies have utilised them for staff bonding and various other work enhancements for years. The concept was originally used by larger blue-chip organizations that had many departments which maybe did not interact very well. The benefits where quite dramatic in lots of instances and so smaller companies decided to jump on the band wagon as well. Now, with the recent surge in number of businesses that are based at home or entirely over the net, there is whole new group of people seeking to better their teams.These companies have quite recently been introduced to the concept of team building and the number of them taking part is on the rise according to some of the top industry experts.

The findings were released by a group of corporate hospitality companies in London, England. They have suggested that business based at home or entirely online suffer from lack of team bonding and effective methods of communication, even though they frequently have quite small staff numbers. In these businesses there is often a reluctance to communicate face to face, with employees opting for email or phone calls most of the time. Additionally, there are a great many of these companies that run from a number of locations and there are team members that never actually get to meet face to face.On top of this there is a high risk of people working from home contracting health problems associated with over-eating and low levels of activities.

The group who released the findings documented a 30% increase in the number of team building days booked last year by home and internet based businesses (the most popular being Waterside in Windsor events) and suggested this is down to an increased focus on work efficiency. Lots of bigger businesses are seeing the rewards in both staff productivity and reduced days off from getting their staff active and having fun. This is something the smaller companies realize they should be emulating. As well as team building events, many companies are increasing their spend on hospitality events such as Cheltenham hospitality days in an attempt to improve staff job satisfaction.
