Team building events are something everyone looks forward to. The end-of-year period is ideal for corporate seminars, providing an opportunity to prepare for the upcoming year and to gather around a key moment focused on work, productivity, but above all on employees and their relationships. A good work atmosphere is a recipe for success! We invite you to explore an original team building idea: an outing behind the wheel of vintage cars. Here are 5 steps to organize a successful classic car team building!
1/ Define the objective of your corporate seminar
The team building or corporate seminar is the perfect way to unite a team and provide an enjoyable recreational moment among colleagues. This concept, originating in the 1980s from America, aims to dedicate time to human connections and group cohesion, creating an atmosphere conducive to work and productivity.
Today, this widely practiced method in Europe and France often generates enthusiasm among employees. Who hasn’t dreamed of working in a relaxed environment? Who hasn’t hoped, when starting a new position, to get closer to their teammates? Who wouldn’t want a clear idea of the company’s overall projects?
The corporate seminar is also the perfect moment to review your department’s activity, set new goals, or convey important messages. Consider the reasons driving you to organize this event:
- Communicate important information?
- Review departmental activities?
- Meet other teams within the group?
- Foster connections among employees?
- Introduce new team members?
- Prepare for upcoming changes?
- Highlight the company’s values or culture?
Corporate seminars can take many forms. It could be a simple meeting with a team lunch, but some companies go further by offering a trip or a completely unique experience.
2/ Determine the budget, duration, and number of participants
In charge of organizing the team building? Where to start? Our advice: first set a maximum budget with decision-makers based on the number of participants. Take this opportunity to gather input and preferences from your teams.
One thing is certain: the more a team building meets the expectations of the team members, the more likely they are to actively participate on the day. For instance, organizing a multi-day team building may be difficult if most participants are young parents. As a guideline, companies typically allocate one to two days for such events.
3/ Plan your incentive day or weekend around an original team building activity
Now comes one of the most fun parts: planning the day(s) of the incentive. Consider start and end times, meetings, breaks, activities, meals, possible accommodation, and transportation.
With a rough schedule in mind, it becomes easier to create a program of activities. You might dedicate a morning to team meetings, followed by an afternoon or evening filled with fun and original activities.
You can also include visits if possible—why not stop by a client or partner? Small group meetings followed by larger gatherings—or vice versa. The possibilities are endless, depending on the organization decided by your management.
Could a classic car outing fit into your team building? Rentals can last a full day or half-day depending on your schedule. With our vehicle delivery service, you can surprise your colleagues with a vintage car adventure at an unexpected moment!
4/ Choose unusual team building activities for a fun time with colleagues
Offer a unique experience to your group. Competitions, games, thrills, indoor workshops, circuits, or simple excursions: the list of unusual activities for corporate seminars continues to grow.
You’ll find plenty of options: bowling, paintball, cooking classes, puzzle games or escape rooms, orienteering, laser tag, tennis, skiing, sports tournaments, etc. Who said business can’t be fun? These activities also enhance team spirit.
Options abound to fit your needs and budget. Contact the activity providers you like and make reservations once your final schedule is approved by management.
