During our New Year holiday, our team members took their families to a skiing parent-child winter camp. Skiing is not only good for the body, but also helps to improve team building.
In our busy and stressful work, it is rare to have time to accompany our family to enjoy the relaxation and joy brought by skiing.
Skiing has many benefits for the body: enhancing cardiopulmonary function, improving body coordination and balance, exercising muscle strength, promoting metabolism, and relaxing and reducing stress.
When skiing, people are in a beautiful snow field environment, focusing on sliding, and can temporarily forget the stress and troubles in life and work. At the same time, exercise can prompt the body to secrete neurotransmitters such as endorphins, which can improve mood, make people feel happy and relaxed, relieve anxiety and depression, and improve mental health.
Skiing does help improve our team building, mainly in the following aspects:
Enhance communication and collaboration
When skiing, team members need to exchange information such as the conditions of the ski slopes and technical points. When facing complex ski slopes or emergencies, they also need to communicate quickly to formulate strategies and overcome difficulties together. For example, in a ski relay race, members need to pass the baton accurately, which requires good communication and collaboration, which can make the cooperation between team members more tacit.
Improve trust
During skiing, team members will help and protect each other. For example, when a novice is learning to ski, experienced members will provide guidance and protection to help them overcome their fear. This mutual support can enhance trust among members and make the team more cohesive.
Cultivate team spirit
Skiing has many collective projects and activities, such as skiing competitions and snowfield development. In these activities, team members work hard for a common goal - victory, and the performance of each member is related to the team's performance, which can inspire members' collective sense of honor and responsibility and cultivate team spirit.
Promote relationship integration
Skiing is usually carried out in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Unlike the daily working environment, members can put aside the pressure and serious image at work and get along in a more relaxed and natural state, which helps to narrow the distance between each other, enhance feelings, and form a good team atmosphere.
Improve problem-solving ability
Skiing may encounter various problems, such as equipment failure, sudden weather changes, etc. The team needs to work together to find ways to solve them, which helps to exercise the team's adaptability and problem-solving ability, so that the team can be more calm when facing difficulties at work.
Through this skiing activity, our team’s cohesion will be further strengthened, and we will definitely overcome all difficulties and achieve better results on the road of future company development.
