It is simpler than you think, all you have to do is schedule some time to work on building the work community.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be team building events, it could be as simple as putting a meeting in the diary to have a discussion as a team, however, if you are looking for something a bit more structured, here are some ideas:

Celebrating special Occasions

Decorating your colleagues desk for their birthday or having a whip round for a card are simple things you can do to ensure they know you are thinking about them. Furthermore, it is always a good idea to celebrate other special occasions such as Christmas. Try and book a Christmas party in advance to make sure all your colleagues can attend and celebrate the year with your whole team.

Team Building Events

Why not schedule some time away from the office by booking a team building events? It is proven that team building activities help strengthen relationships and ensuring that your team can get to know each other away from the daily grind can massively impact their productivity when they are back at work.
