Team Building Workshop
The mission for this one or two day "Team-Building Workshop" is simple. We want you to become more aware of why people you work and deal with on a daily basis seem to react, function and behave the way they do.
The challenge for managers or anyone guiding others at work is one of creating an environment where people are allowed and encouraged to be all they can. The theme of "Team-Building Sessions" is one of empowering individuals to become star performers, to understand personality types and temperament, and to become more efficient and effective in working with people.
In today's changing world of work, teams are becoming increasingly varied and complex. In teams we work together, attempting to maximize each team member's special talents, thereby minimizing gaps in knowledge and skills. During Team- Building Workshops we demonstrate how the MBTI can guide teams as a powerful tool. We address six core issues affecting teams: communication, team culture, leadership, change, problem solving/conflict resolution and stress.
Common Team-Building objectives may include the following:
- Get better acquainted with one another, the team leadership, and the team culture
- Form new teams
- Revitalize an existing team
- Manage change, conflict and stress
- Improve communication and problem solving
- Build leadership and followership skills
The MBTI tool is particularly useful for team-building because it provides a framework for appreciation and understanding. It enables teams to:
- Discover individual and team styles
- Foster an exchange of viewpoints
- Analyze the team's strengths, blind spots, and areas for improvement
- Learn and practice better ways of working together
- Unify around a common purpose, understanding, and vision for the future
- Develop action plans for effective individual and team growth
Why not having a hands-on, fun and practical, one or two day workshop outdoors?
- Alternative venue and activities that might be added and considered:Magaliesburg: Ysterhout Kloof: Zig Zagging / "Foefie Slide" with the Magaliesberg Canopy Tour", talks about bird life, or action soccer, colonial cricket, rock climbing, project challenges, or abseiling
- Magaliesburg Hot Air Ballooning or volley ball, treasure hunts, karaoke or fly fishing
- Clarens: quad bikes, horse rides, 4x4 routes.
- Vaal river: Vanderbijl Park: action cricket, Boat trips
- Parys: River rafting.
Or use your own venue where Workinfo.com facilitators can use fun generating activities.
When creating a teambuilding contract, it is necessary to specify what ice-breakers and activities will be part of the teambuilding effort.
Each Team Member will receive:
- A basic MBTI profile:
- Team members will receive a basic profile- and a temperament report. They will need to focus on what are the team's challenges, strengths and areas for development.
The MBTI reports can be done on-line (computer generated) or we can administer self-scorable assessments during the workshop and have participants score it themselves. We prefer to have the MBTI results prior to the teambuilding so that these can be used in planning the workshop.

Interested in Technical Tests for Recruitment or Selection Purposes?
Technical Tests are each designed to assess a different area of technical ability: these areas are the ability to reason with mechanical concepts and the ability to manipulate three dimensional spatial relationships.
- The Mechanical Reasoning Test measures the ability to apply basic mechanical principles. The test investigates a person's ability to solve problems of a mechanical nature through the application of basic principles which most people could be expected to understand. People who do well on the Mechanical Reasoning Test usually like to find out how things work. The often are better than average at learning how to construct, operate, or repair complicated equipment.
- The Spatial Reasoning Test assesses a person's ability to manipulate and reason about shapes and spatial relationships. The Spatial Reasoning Test assesses a person's ability to work with three dimensional relationships. The test looks at how well a person can visualize, or form mental pictures of solid objects from looking at flat paper plans. It measures the ability to visualise, to imagine the shape and surfaces of a finished object before it is built, just by looking at the drawings that would be used to guide workers in building it. A person who performs well on the Spatial Reasoning Test can "see" the finished house, the bridge or machine. He or she could probably mentally "walk around" the finished structure, looking at it from different angles.
