With the first quarter of 2025 gone, we wanted to give you a moment to reflect, and ask yourself this question – have you truly stopped and celebrated your team?

We’re not including a well-done email or a card. Have you given them the chance to get out of the office and refresh, ready to go again for Q2?

How?

The best way to do this is by getting out of the office for a Corporate Team Building day. In today’s digital world, where a lot of us spend our office days looking at a screen, getting outdoors is the best way to refresh our minds and reflect on the past few months. With a clear head, we are allowing our team members to take the day to rejuvenate and start the second quarter afresh. YMCA Fairthorne Manor hosts adult team building days, perfect for celebrating your team.

Adult Days at Fairthorne offer a mix of activities from raft building to crate stacking, perfect for building stronger working relationships. Set on a 95-acre site, your team will experience fun challenges, new adventures, and so much more.

Why?

Without taking the time to celebrate your staff, you risk them feeling undervalued. According to studies, 65% of employees feel more valued when included in team-building activities. This in turn boosts productivity, staff retention, and overall morale. Head of Sales and Marketing Ross Owen shared his thoughts:

Celebrating business successes with your team is a powerful way to show them they’re a valued part of the organisation’s growth and future. When groups visit us for Corporate Team Building, they leave with a renewed sense of motivation, connection, and shared purpose.

Benefits

Not only does stepping out of the office for a day of celebration build a better team relationship, but there is a correlation between getting outside, and productivity.

  • A change of scenery allows employees to view things from a new angle.

  • Being outdoors improves creativity.

  • Fresh air is good for your mental wellbeing.

  • Feeling appreciated boosts motivation.
