			<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Team building is the use of variety of interventions, group processes, skill based workshops, team building actvities that are aimed at improving interpersonal relations, clarifying team members roles, responsibilities as well as solving tasks and interpersonal conflicts that affect overall team functionality at the workplace.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">One of the most powerful reasons for the team to undergo team building intervention is to improve cooperation, collaboration and co-creation to achieve results</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Team Building interventions comes in primarily four different types such as</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Personality Based Team Building</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Activity Based Team Building</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Skills Based Team Building</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Problem Solving Based Team Building</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​All type of Team Building interventions require a skilled and experienced facilitator to conduct the actvities and process the experiences to enable transfer of learning to the workplace. Without a facilitator the effectiveness and impact of the team building session may not be fully effective.​</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Personality Based Team Building Intervention</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">​Personality-Based Team Building makes use of a personality or psychometric questionnaire such as such as the Myers-Briggs Personality Type, Insights Team Dynamics, Belbin Team Roles, Enneagram or DISC assessments. Personality-based interventions focus on improving interpersonal skills among the team members.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​The results are communicated to each team member and, in some instances, the entire team to help members understand and appreciate their own and their teammates&#8217; personalities and interpersonal styles. Ideally, this understanding leads to better communication and improved team effectiveness.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​Members may also do role plays and take part in team building activities to relate and reflect on their personality type and how they can effectively communicate and building good relationships with other team members.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Activity Based Team Building Intervention</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">​Activity-Based Team Building involves fulfillment of challenging tasks in an outdoor environment, such as group outdoor and adventure activities. The team members participate in physical challenges, such as group obstacles, physical challenges, canoeing or hiking.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​The interventions focus on teamwork, problem solving, conflict, trust and risk taking. The task requires all the members to take up various roles to complete the challenge.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​The behaviors are brought out to awareness during the sharing phase and debriefing phase and parallels identified at the workplace that is similar to the challenges face by the team members. The learning is transferred to the workplace, thus creating new relationships between the team members to work efficiently together.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Skills Based Team Building Intervention</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">​Skills-Based Team Building Skills engages team members in a workshop style intervention that is a combination of training content and activities focusing on developing skills they need to work together as a team, such as communication, leadership skills, dealing with conflict, effective team meetings and more.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​These skill-based workshop give members the opportunity to learn and practice teamwork efficiently.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​With the development of these team skills it is possible to create a more effective team if the skills acquired are applied in the workplace. These interventions are presented as a workshop with training content and team activities in which all members participate and develop action plans for practicing the needed skills.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Problem Solving Based Team Building Intervention</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14px;">​Problem Solving-Based Team Building is frequently executed at an offsite event but can also be done indoors. This type of team building is aimed at helping the team unravel and solve certain problems. The members of the group will then work together to identify the challenges and possible solutions while trying to work as efficiently as possible in solving the problem.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​The facilitator&#8217;s job is to help the team explore and understand the problem in order to find a solution. Problem solving retreats are the most common form of team building intervention because parallels are drawn between the activity and work and the transfer of learning is immediately applied to the team&#8217;s ongoing work.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">A good team building program will have a combination of all types of team building interventions and is usually based on the methodology of experiential learning and adult learning principles.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">​Such wholesome team building interventions focuses on all aspects of the team needs namely team vision, team relations, team goals, team roles and team processes to build a efficient and high performance team.</span></p>
