Building a better team...out of gingerbrea​d

Remember that team building activity?…Stuck in the bush with the Rambo wannabe. Embracing that person you'd rather not because you're told you have to "bond". Summing up your life's history in 5 words or less to a room of people who are all thinking about lunch.

What was the point of it all?

Apparently, the 8 top functions of a team building exercise are to:
- improve communication
- make the workplace more enjoyable
- motivate a team
- bond
- promote problem solving
- identify strengths and weaknesses
- improve team productivity
- stimulate creativity

In today's corporate environment engaging employees is vital for increased productivity…and nothing engages like food!

Not only has food brought people together for thousands of years, countless research organisations have discovered links between the reward of food and an increase in productivity and communication in the workplace .Gingerbread House making events are a growing corporate trend. Gingerbread Folk supply gingerbread house making kits for corporate team building. We offer delicious-tasting, premium quality gingerbread and everything you need, for a fun and out-of-the-box team building activity.

At the end of the event, you have a great corporate gift that an employee can take home to share with their family. Some companies have even run competitions and auctioned the marvellous creations for charity.

And by the way… No Rambo wannabes have ever said "no" to some gingerbread action.
