The more invested your team is, the less turnover you will have. Constant turnover and the need to hire, train and bring in new team members create constant chaos. Eliminate this by developing a thriving team environment.

Team building in our early childhood businesses is essential to helping you control the chaos and find more time to focus on the things that move your business forward. It is also essential to ensuring your team is not only happy to serve your families but are excited and delighted to do so. This makes your team building AN INVESTMENT not just a nice thing to do.

We will discuss 8 reasons team building is so important and how it translates directly to high-performing teams.
Team Building:
1. BUILDS TRUST
2. REGULATES COMMUNICATION
3. INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY
4. BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER
5. FOSTERS CREATIVITY AND LEARNING
6. MAKES PEOPLE MORE ACCEPTING
7. EMPLOYEES CAN ACQUIRE SKILLS
8. IMPROVES COMPANY CULTURE

And we will end with some great ground rules that apply when it comes to planning activities for your people.

1. Don’t force the business or corporate stuff
2. Ditch the company picnic
3. Keep that positive energy going when you get back

It all depends on your objective and purpose. Therefore, there is no hard and fast rule to the routine of carrying out a team activity. But there might be a few good indicators on when to conduct a team bonding exercise, which are:

• When a new member or two has joined the team.
• At the end of the summer, before the beginning of the new school year
• When you are trying to focus on a specific team issue or trying to improve a certain team aspect.
• When you are hosting a team meeting.
