How Strong is Your Team’s Cohesion?
The stronger the team cohesion, the stronger the organization. Workplace teams are groups that function best when group cohesion is high and relationships are strong. Team building exercises can help enrich relationships, communication, and team cohesion – which has been demonstrated to enhance safety, effectiveness, performance, and job satisfaction.
Workplace wellness is strongly associated with team cohesion and relationships. People stay or leave organizations primarily based on the people and relationships in that organization. The financial and operational health of an organization is directly related to the collective social and psychological health of its workforce.

Psychological Safety
A 2021 survey found that 84% of workers report at least one aspect of their workplace as having a negative impact on their mental health. If work results in negative impacts on mental health, it seems that employers have an ethical responsibility to strive to also provide structures that offer positive impacts on their staff’s mental health. This is such an important issue that the United States Surgeon General even posted recent recommendations for all workplaces in how to support workers’ mental health and overall workplace wellness.
The research on organizations actually shows that psychological safety is the most important factor in determining positive outcomes, success, performance, and satisfaction. Our team building workshops are effective at enhancing a sense of safety amongst coworkers while increasing overall wellbeing.
Whether you are looking to rejuvenate your workplace, bounce back after an adverse work event or difficult period of time, integrate new members into an already tight-knit team, or reward your staff with a fun and meaningful experience – we can tailor a workshop to your vision and your needs!
