The Château de Berne, an unforgettable team-building idea

Team building is the key to a close-knit company. It helps to improve communication within your company and develop team spirit among your colleagues. A successful team building event starts with the right venue. The Château de Berne, in the heart of Provence, is the ideal venue for an authentic and unforgettable team building event.

Organising a team building event? What a great idea!

Team building" is French for "team reinforcement". For a company to survive in the long term, it's something that needs to be nurtured. Yet many people mistakenly think that team building is not for them. What an idea!
Team building is about learning to work as a team. In a fun, less formal environment, participants are encouraged to develop their communication skills: a key skill when working in a team. The best idea for a successful team-building event is the right mix of conviviality and competition. The objectives set during the activities call for group cohesion, leading employees to strengthen their team spirit. A group identity will be built up, helping to reduce conflicts within the company when they return to work.

The four imperatives for setting up a team building idea

As we said, successful team building starts with the right venue. To get participants out of the workplace, you need to literally get them out of the workplace. Leave your company premises for an afternoon, a day or a weekend away from it all.
Once this geographical break has been created, your employees can easily drop their work mask and get to know each other, human being to human being. It's imperative that they disconnect from their day-to-day lives to ensure that they can take part in the activities.
When developing your team building idea, remember to define the messages and objectives you want to convey to your employees. This will help you choose a venue that reflects your ideas and values.
Finally, don't overlook the practicalities. Journey times, travel arrangements, accessibility of the location, the possibility of accommodation on site: to strengthen your team, show them that you are choosing the best for them.
