HERES HOW YOU CONVINCE your boss/HR:
You know how great the outdoors are but how do you get your boss on board? Research shows that outdoor team building has many added benefits:
- American Psychological Association says that sports activities bolster team spirit and foster communication.
- The Harvard Busines Review addresses how team building activities in nature allow employees to step outside of traditional roles and practice different leadership skills
- Plus, nature helps reduce stress and potentially makes people nicer
