[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless it's to benefit charity, I've never understood the point of team building activities, retreats, company parties, etc. Employees do *not* want to do these things. They come to work to get their work done, and then they want to spend what little time they have left in the week with their families (or, relaxing by themselves/with friends). Company parties, retreats, whatever - they do not boost morale. They make me pissed that I have to waste my time or, worse, hang out with my employer in my free time. [/quote] A thousand times yes. I guess it does unite people....against HR, or the idiot managers who either read a book/went to a "leadership seminar/bought into a consultant's idea that this kind of "training" is good for morale or engagement or whatever. When my team had low morale or was frustrated about something, we would do some kind of real problem-solving exercise. Doing something fake would have stressed them out more. [/quote]
