Washington, D.C. is a veritable paradise for corporate team building activities. With so many things to do and exciting sites to see, there are endless possibilities for creative team solutions. Knowledgeable companies realize that a great site and an out-of-the-ordinary activity, build the groundwork for an attention-grabbing program that will keep employees receptive and develop team skills. All of this heads towards the ultimate goal of raising employee productivity.
Of all the programs possible in Washington, one fun team building program that puts the pedal to the metal is a Washington DC Limousine Treasure Hunt. A hunt can be customized to any part of the metro-area where team members would like to "tour" - and by tour I mean a hunt can be customized to "find" local highlights. One limo hunt idea may be to have hunters begin by a ride through Capitol Hill, one of the oldest residential communities in the city, and home to the country's seat of government. Pair this with a drive through Washington's scenic, historic, and incredible views, and this is definitely going to be one exciting ride.
For teams that would rather walk, there's a unique hunt called the Amazing Adventure that is the perfect vehicle for exploring quaint commercial areas in Georgetown or Alexandria. In this treasure hunt, the team's mission is to discover the rarest of beasts, one that has never been captured or photographed before. Think of the creature as a modern-day Big Foot, or maybe it's a unicorn... its up to your team to find out!
Does an activity aimed at transforming the world sound appealing to you? Then try Chocolate Therapy. This activity is a multilayered challenge, one that your employees are sure to enjoy when in Washington. This activity takes place in a private room of a hotel or restaurant. Maybe the Capital Grill on Pennsylvania Avenue, in the heart of Washington? Or the Willard room in the fabulous historic Willard Hotel.
For companies wanting to achieve their goals through team building activities, it's all about getting results - a stronger team and better team process. For the provider, it's all about making corporate team building programs interesting and effective. The more unique the activities are, the more they're liked by the participants, and the more effective they are in helping teams foster that culture of communication, cooperation, and trust. Getting results doesn't have to be somber and boring. After each fun team building activity, a good team building company will offer the option to lead participants through a debriefing session that analyzes their team process for each activity and reinforces the lessons learned. Amidst all the laughter and newfound camaraderie, these are improved skills that will make a company more productive. What better place to rise to the team building challenge than Washington, DC.
