The BOLT Holiday Party happened December 12, starting with a traditional lunch at Hopmonk Tavern in Downtown Sonoma, followed by an amazing team-building scavenger hunt on the Plaza.
What exactly is a team-building scavenger hunt? In short, it was supposed to be a fun collaborative activity that incorporates physical activity, support for local businesses, good-natured competition, photographic skill, and hopefully, a lot of smiling. The plan sounded great on paper but would it work?
The answer was a resounding “yes”! The merchants were excited to join in the fun and the bonds between all of us were strengthened in the course of the afternoon. It was especially worthwhile since our company has grown significantly in the last year. The change in personal dynamics was evident on Monday, as the comfort level between employees climbed noticeably. Not only that, but the activity drew spouses and friends into the fun.
Regardless of what type of organization you have, this is a hugely effective way to smooth relationships and improve communication between your team members, both veterans and newcomers. By strategically selecting members of each group, you can achieve organizational goals or rebuild cohesiveness where relationships may have frayed in the past.
