Corporate team building activities are the secret ingredient to reinvigorating your company culture. The right activities don’t just get your team talking; they create an environment where creativity, trust, and communication can thrive.
If you’ve been tasked with finding an activity, no pressure—whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into what makes these activities so valuable, why they matter, and how they can transform your workplace.
Now we don’t like to blow our own trumpet about our team building activities. But, with over 500 reviews from our Reviews.io (average 4.88/5) platform and Google Reviews (average 4.9/5). We’d say they are pretty well received.
Zing Events did an absolutely incredible job of delivering an ‘Escape Box’ team-building exercise to my group of 200(!) at one of our Spotify internal conferences. The attendees loved it. I would thoroughly recommend them for your team-building activities.
Whilst there are many companies with virtual gaming offerings – I could not find one with better Reviews – trusted by world class businesses too. ZING did not disappoint and exceeded expectations. OUTSTANDING.
Great ‘Escape the Box’ activity run by Zing to close our 3 day meeting in Dubai which consisted of 150 participants. Made for a very high energy and exciting finish.
We will definitely leverage them again in the future!
“In today’s workplace, fostering a strong company culture is essential. Did you know that businesses with a strong culture see a 33% boost in revenue? That’s because a happy, cohesive team works better together, communicates more effectively, and drives innovation.”
Andy Wells Co-Founder
Corporate team building activities are events designed to bring employees together outside of their typical workday tasks. They’re not about awkward icebreakers or cheesy trust falls. Instead, they provide a platform for colleagues to collaborate in new, fun, and often challenging ways. Whether you’re solving mysteries, building soapbox cars, or tackling an escape room, these activities push your team to think creatively and work as one.
When it comes to corporate team building, one size does not fit all. Your team’s unique personality, your objectives, and your company’s culture should guide your decision. Want to focus on problem-solving? Try an activity like our “Escape the Box,” where critical thinking is key. Looking to spark creativity? “Urban Art” lets your team tap into their inner artist while working collaboratively.
So, why invest in corporate team building? With many teams now working remotely or in hybrid setups, personal relationships and communication can take a hit. In fact, 45% of employees with low engagement levels report a negative shift in their company’s culture. That’s a big deal when culture plays such a key role in employee satisfaction and retention.
Let’s be honest, some corporate team building activities can feel a little dated. We’ve tossed out the tired old ideas and brought in a fresh approach. Our activities are designed with today’s teams in mind—interactive, innovative, and always engaging. No more cringe-worthy icebreakers or mind-numbing lectures. Instead, we deliver fun, impactful experiences that encourage collaboration and creativity. Whether it's a virtual event connecting remote teams across the globe or an outdoor challenge that gets everyone moving, we ensure every activity is fresh, fun, and memorable.
Corporate team building activities play a crucial role in creating a positive workplace environment. They help break the ice between colleagues, build trust, and encourage a sense of belonging. For companies that are growing or restructuring, these events can also smooth transitions and help integrate new team members more effectively. Still on the fence? The benefits of team building are undeniable; when employees feel connected and valued, they’re far more likely to stick around—and contribute to your company’s success.
