Upgrade Your Team Building Experience

If you've paid any attention to World Cup soccer — and its fans — you know there's something indescribably special about people coming together in shared spirit, uniting from different backgrounds with joyful celebration. 

Ever wish your workplace could buzz with that kind of energy, that sense of unity? While your corporate teams can't play in World Cup, they can step out of the office and have a shared experience that unites them.

Replace Conventional Team Building with Purpose-Driven Experiences

It's time to go beyond a day of trust falls and icebreaker games. Don't get us wrong;  any team building activity has the advantage of breaking up the day-to-day and the opportunity to have people from different parts of your organization interact.

However, the lasting benefit is much more profound when the experience is guided by shared purpose. Give team members a common goal, something to pull towards together, and you have the makings of an inspiring and unifying experience. And when that goal is a cause they believe in? The impact is magnified many times over.

According to the Society for Human Resource Management, "Seventy-nine percent of employees who volunteer through work-sponsored programs are satisfied with their jobs, compared to 55 percent who don’t volunteer this way."

The Habitat Difference

What makes a Habitat team building experience different? It's tactile and concrete, a chance to literally build something together while you're building strong connections. It's also an educational experience, with lots of new skills to learn and a variety of tasks to suit a variety of interests. Plus, it's a great way to shake up your typical team roles and relate to each other as fellow volunteers. But most of all, it's an unforgettable way to give back as a team. There's a truly electric sense of accomplishment that comes from working together toward something that makes the community better at the end of your day. 

When you plan a team building experience with Habitat, we consider you a partner in this mission. We'll work with you to plan what works for your team, and we can curate a day to suit your group's size. Plus, you have a range of options, whether that's building out on the construction site with us, getting the flexibility (and adorability!) of a Playhouse event, or supporting our retail operations at ReStore!

What to Expect

We're here to make it easy for you. To plan your team building experience, you'll work directly with a member of our Partnerships team. They will guide you through every step from initial planning to your team's volunteer day.

Your team building day will be led by skilled and friendly Habitat staff, who'll make sure you have all the equipment and know-how you need for a fulfilling day - no experience required! 

And at the end of your day, you can expect to see the difference you've made. It may not be quite the same as watching your home team win a long-sought victory in a crowd of fellow fans, but you'll know you've made a real impact in your community — and you've done it together.
