It’s that time of year again. Your boss has approved a company outing, and you get to spend a day—or even a weekend—with your coworkers at the company’s expense. It’s actually a great opportunity to escape the daily office routine, get to know each other better, and experience a different setting. If only there weren’t always the question of what to plan for the company outing. What can we do as a team that will please both our coworkers and the company—and be good for us? You can find ideas for company outings in all sorts of places. But what’s the right choice for me and my coworkers? A team event should often have educational value as well, since it’s approved and funded by the company. At the same time, the purpose of a company outing is to foster teamwork and group cohesion. Colleagues who might be easily overlooked in day-to-day work or who are less integrated can introduce themselves to the group and feel more appreciated again.

Research from Stanford University has shown that employees’ work quality improves significantly when the workplace environment is positive. To accomplish all these goals, you should come up with a good idea for a company outing and execute it successfully. A company outing can take many forms: a visit to an expo, a get-together with colleagues from another branch, or an official presentation by experts. While these ideas look good on paper and might impress the boss, they lack significant social value. Teambuilding Ideas provides you with a company outing concept that’s fun and offers lasting value for your team. A trip to an amusement park, a city tour, or even a bike ride. With Teambuilding Ideas, your company outing is sure to be a success! Our experts take your goals into account and consider what you hope to achieve with the company outing. Once the idea is developed, Teambuilding Ideas will also handle the implementation. Your only task then is to spend a meaningful day with your colleagues and strengthen relationships in a lasting way.
Anyone who claims there’s nothing to do in the winter has never gone out with the right coworkers. A winter company outing brings a breath of fresh air to the workday—even if that air is sometimes freezing cold. Whether it’s a Christmas market, curling, a winter hike, a mulled wine tour, or a group cooking class: Winter offers plenty of ideas that will quickly warm up not just your hands, but your spirits as well. The best part of a winter company outing? No one talks about open Excel spreadsheets, emails, or the next meeting. Instead, people discuss who suddenly shows Olympic-level talent at curling, why a coworker set out without gloves, and how the plan to “just have one mulled wine” turned into a culinary tour featuring bratwurst, crêpes, roasted almonds, and hot chocolate.
Winter activities also have a major advantage: No one expects top athletic performance. It’s more than enough if everyone makes it safely through the Christmas market and no one tries to stroll elegantly across icy cobblestones with mulled wine in hand. After all, teamwork isn’t just about what happens in the office—it also shines through when five coworkers are all trying to find a lost glove at the same time. And of course, on every company outing, there’s that one person who says right from the start, “I don’t need a jacket—I’m never cold.” Five minutes later, they borrow a scarf; ten minutes later, they’re warming up at the mulled wine stand; and a quarter of an hour later, they’d love to move right next to the patio heater. By then, at the latest, it’s clear: Winter brings not only cold—but also the best stories for the office.
