``We learned about the power of working together by participating in interactive training with the FBE during WS LEAN for our SK/CZ departments. The instructors were highly skilled professionals. With their help, we realized the significance of sharing information efficiently and setting strategies within our departments. The training focused on collaboration to solve problems, effective communication, and reaching team goals. We're grateful for the experience.``

Ing. Miroslav Škuba, LEAN manager Eastern Europe, Schaeffler

For our clients, we realize teambuildings of a smaller and larger nature. Teambuildings, as long as they are conducted professionally, are an effective tool for strengthening the collective, strengthening loyalty to the company or fulfilling specially assigned company goals.

Types of teambuilding

  • Outdoor team building
  • Indoor teambuildings
  • Online team building

Structure and flow of activities

  • Teambuilding mostly consists of several outdoor and indoor activities
  • Activities are selected depending on the goal of team building
  • Each activity is followed by an analysis in the form of a workshop
  • We answer questions from the point of view of the target
  • Examples of questions “What did we learn about ourselves, our team, communication, collaboration, how to solve a task, etc. during the activity?”
  • Turning it into practice: “Where do similar situations arise in our work?” “How do we solve them?” “Which knowledge from the activity and its analysis is good to use in our practice?”

Scope of teambuilding

  • The time range of teambuilding is 0.5 to 2 days
  • The size of the group is 8-12 people when led by one lecturer, with several lecturers and assistants it is from 13 to 80, or even more participants

Possible team building goals

  • Improving team or inter-team collaboration and communication
  • Improve communication between organizational units of the company
  • Support the pursuit of common company goals and weaken the “silo effect”: prioritizing partial goals over overall goals
  • Identification and improvement of company culture, solving problems in company culture
  • Promotion of loyalty to the employer
  • Creativity of individual team members
  • To reveal potential communication problems of the collective, but also previously unsuspected reserves of the entire team and individuals
  • Getting to know team and personal strengths and weaknesses while completing team activities and challenges
  • Strengthening trust, openness and cohesion
  • Release everyday work stress
  • Get to know each other within the work team in new situations
  • Improve the ability to make decisions together, under pressure or in other circumstances
  • And others…

We will compile the goals and content of a specific team building according to your needs and expectations.

Samples of selected team building activities

Air mission - Teambuilding Online

AIR MISSION is a simulation of team and inter-team cooperation and communication in an online environment. The game has a spy plot and works with the theme of traveling around the world. The participants are divided into two separate teams, working together to complete a secret mission – to transport a microchip and a sample of a rare drug halfway across the globe and shake off their pursuers along the way.However, the time for joint meetings between the two teams is minimal, so information sharing and effective communication are extremely important. To complete the task, participants must overcome various obstacles, work under time pressure with coded information and fulfill multiple challenges, all in an online environment that has now become an integral part of our working life.

The simulation has 2 rounds, between which the participants will do an improvement workshop with the aim of making mutual communication and cooperation more efficient.

The game experience and the atmosphere are enhanced by original visuals and photographs in the film noir style.

The analysis of the experience is focused on:

  • System in communication and coordination of individual team members
  • Principles of effective cooperation and communication and information transfer
  • Finding effective procedures for achieving better results
  • Elimination of communication limits caused by remote communication (in an online environment)

At the end, the participants jointly establish the key principles and principles of communication and cooperation.

``The Air Connector training is all about teamwork in an online setting, and it was a full-day effort without any ``naps`` in front of the computer 🙂 I really appreciate the innovative way they organized the training, using gamification. We spent the entire day working together interactively and learning the theory using the MURAL board. This approach helped bring people who did not know each other into a collaborative group.
I enjoyed how they introduced an element of competition by dividing us into two interconnected but separate groups, and the debriefings after each part of the game helped us improve our performance. I also found inspiration for my work. Thanks a lot!``

Ing. Michaela Jurašiová, education methodologist, VÚB, a.s.

``This course is fantastic for improving online work efficiency. I highly recommend it``

"Save the King" - teambuilding with story

Join the commander of the castle guard and become a participant in the story. A descent into the catacombs awaits you. Find your way through the maze and save the king who has been poisoned by someone!”

  • Teambuilding in the format of an interactive story, the resolution of which is in the hands of the participants
  • The story forms the basic framework, the storyline, and can be used for teambuildings supporting team cooperation, cohesion, creativity, as well as for training on topics such as Leadership, informal authorities, self-management teams, the art of endurance, etc.
  • Activities, analysis, theme and story connect to each other and form a harmonious whole. In this way, we involve the participants even more and enrich the educational experience with an original element
  • The story gives teambuilding structure, tension and a point

Escape2

``I've had several training experiences at various companies before, but this one stood out because it kept us engaged with a story all the way. It made the training both useful and motivating, and I really enjoyed it.``

Júlia Gecziková, Logistics Manager, Participant in the ``Teamwork`` training using the interactive storyline ``Save the King``

Teambuilding with the theme of "Escape Room''

  • Teambuilding takes place in an exciting and adventurous atmosphere. Participants perform tasks they cannot predict, face constant changes, have to function as individuals and as a team. They need to overcome problems together to achieve success
  • It is necessary to move forward, give your best and use the strengths of everyone available. Participants support each other and learn from each other as they go
  • The story is set in an abandoned factory where a mad scientist plans bloody revenge. The only way to salvation is to pass difficult tests based on clues. Time stress increases the tension, just like in real practice. Participants must make decisions and solve problems under pressure
  • The game is accompanied by beautiful visualization, acoustic accessories, interesting puzzles and unusual tools
  • Each experience and completion of a partial task is followed by a debriefing, discussion and feedback from the lecturer. The goal is to clarify the learned principles, summarize them and put them into the practice of the participants
  • The game can be used for trainings focusing on change, creativity, thinking in contexts, etc.
  • Implementation can be in-person indoor or online

``We had a blast with our online team-building event with escape room theme. It was a big group, 42 of us in total, and we all joined in. Thanks to our awesome trainers and engaging activities, we got a great reminder of how important teamwork, cooperation, facing challenges, and helping each other are. The team-building event allowed our colleagues to share ideas, have a good laugh, meet new coworkers, and have some fun, even during these pandemic times.

The online team-building event was well-organized and the instructors did a fantastic job. After spending a long time working alone from home, we highly recommend it to boost our team spirit and motivation.``
