September and October are the ideal time for team events. After the summer holidays, companies are back to full work pace, and autumn offers a great opportunity to kick-start the team, connect new colleagues and remind them of common values. We have therefore prepared inspiration for autumn activities that combine experience, teamwork and practical overlap.
Although autumn is often associated with moving events indoors, the first autumn months usually still offer pleasant weather for outdoor programs. Companies don’t have to be afraid to take teams out into the fresh air.
Hooray for the outdoors: Boats, formulate pit stops
Programs that still work great outdoors in autumn include, for example, Flat Out Afloat — team building of vessels, which can take place outdoors by the water, but if conditions are suitable, also in the pool. Participants divide their roles, plan the construction, test cooperation and at the end see if their boat can really stand up to the demanding race.
Another permanent feature is Flat Out Formula 1, in which teams build their own racing cars and then a racing atmosphere full of strategy, speed and team coordination awaits them. Catalyst Czech Republic has also recently expanded the program to include pit stops. The question for participants is simple: can your team change wheels in under two seconds like on world circuits?
CSR programs continue
CSR activities have also been of great interest among companies for a long time. Organizations are increasingly looking for programs that are not only fun, but also provide concrete help. A popular choice is building children’s bicycles for disadvantaged children or creating packages for single mothers. Such activities naturally connect teamwork with a sense of meaning and common impact.
Programs for specific team goals
Not every corporate event has the same purpose. Some teams need to adapt to changes or unexpected problems. Chain Reaction or City Build are perfect for such a situation, where participants together create a complex system and quickly see how important communication, the continuity of individual steps and the ability to respond to change are.
Other companies are looking for a way to present new corporate values to employees in a clear and attractive way. In some cases, Quickfire or Go Team programs work well, which allow you to incorporate corporate themes, values, strategy and internal messages directly into the game.
Where to organize the event?
Choosing a suitable location is as important for the success of team building as the program itself. We cooperate with a number of hotels and event spaces. For events with accommodation near Prague or in Brno, Hotel SEN or Hotel Maximus may be a suitable choice. If companies are looking for new spaces in Prague, cooperation with Scott.Weber Workspace is offered, which has fifteen inspiring locations throughout Prague.
Don’t be afraid of the autumn weather
Outdoor autumn events don’t have to be a risk. We offer our groups a free backup option in case of rain. Thanks to the extensive inventory of activities, you can flexibly respond to the weather and maintain the quality of the program even if the conditions change on a given day.
Autumn is therefore the ideal time not to be afraid of team building activities that will get the team moving, have fun and at the same time support cooperation. Whether a company is looking for an energetic outdoor opportunity, a meaningful CSR program, or an activity focused on specific company goals, our professionals can prepare a tailor-made program so that it is truly unforgettable for the participants.
