In this fast-paced world of corporate life, team building is an essential component of success. However, quite often, with a diverse mix of ages, hobby interests and abilities, team-building activities can be met with quite some resistance. While traditional team-building activities can be effective, they may lack the enthusiasm of some members but I've got proven activities that EVERYONE will love and it's called ArtistAnd.
I hear all the time how "art's just not for me,' or "I'm not creative" and what that actually means is, "I've never been shown how to make something I'm proud of."
My partner was telling me about some of the corporate workshops he's done recently, and I'm not just being biased, but they sounded so dull that even a sloth on a sedative would be like, "Nah, I'm good".
In this blog, we'll explore a variety of corporate team-building ideas that incorporate pencil, watercolour, pastel, and acrylic painting for even absolute beginners. These activities will not only boost team spirit but also promote relaxation, innovation, and a sense of accomplishment.
Let's take a look at the best corporate team building ideas to help improve wellbeing:
