Building Bonds with Entertainment


Listen Later

Over the years I've had the chance to work in a lot of companies, and I've seen a lot of different team-building attempts take place. In restaurants, these were often nights out with too many adult beverages. At a power station, we had some large outdoor BBQs, where again, sometimes there were too many adult drinks consumed.

When I came to Denver, I worked in a company that had a small fund they used for team outings once a quarter. A movie, bowling, maybe a meal, usually during an extended lunch hour or an early end to the day. At Redgate, we have a Feel-Good-Fund in each office and teams can make use of this for an activity periodically where they engage in something together. I rarely get to participate because I'm so remote and it makes me a little sad, since I see pictures on Slack of escape rooms, punting (boating), visiting museums, archery competitions, and more. However, we have taken the time to do a few things when Grant, Ryan, and I get together. Most recently, we went to a science museum in Cambridge one afternoon.
