Insider Tips For Away Days With The Team Building Company

I’m Alex Tyley from The Teambuilding Company and I’m here to help you plan the perfect team-building event at Careys Manor Hotel & SenSpa that not only meets your objectives but also creates lasting memories.

The Teambuilding Company specialises in creating engaging, tailored events designed to bring teams closer together. Our mission is to help companies strengthen their team dynamics through fun, creative, and collaborative experiences that leave a lasting impact.

The Teambuilding Company was founded with the idea that work can be more fulfilling when teams are cohesive and motivated. We started noticing a significant rise in demand for these types of events as companies began to realize the importance of investing in their teams—not just for productivity, but for overall workplace happiness and retention.

Why is Teambuilding important for businesses?

Stepping away from the office allows team members to break free from their usual roles and routines. It’s a chance to see colleagues in a new light, build stronger relationships, and recharge their energy in a way that benefits both the individual and the team as a whole.

At The Teambuilding Company, we offer a wide range of events, from high-energy outdoor activities to creative problem-solving challenges and workshops. Personally, I love our “Beat The Box” — It’s a  fantastic way to see teams work together under pressure while having a blast. It is also a really impressive indoor setup with the large inflatable cube!

 

What are your top 3 most popular teambuilding events?

Providing a perfect mix of fun, challenge, and teamwork, our top 3 most popular events are the “Beat The Box” challenge, “Crystal Challenge” and any of our “Treasure Hunt” activities. These events are highly engaging and push teams to communicate and collaborate effectively.

What advice would you offer to a company looking to organise their first team away day?

Start by understanding your team’s dynamics and what you want to achieve from the day. It’s also important to choose activities that everyone can enjoy and participate in, ensuring that no one feels left out. And lastly, pick a venue that offers a comfortable and inspiring environment— like Careys Manor!

Careys Manor is a fantastic venue with beautiful surroundings in the heart of the New Forest. The tranquil setting combined with excellent facilities makes it an ideal spot for team away days—offering relaxing spa days, treatments and the space to focus on team-building activities.

Ideally, companies should organise team-building events at least once or twice a year. Regular opportunities to bond help maintain strong team relationships and keep morale high throughout the year.

What are 5 things a team should aim to take away from their teambuilding experience?

  1. Stronger Connections: Building deeper relationships with colleagues.
  2. Enhanced Communication: Learning how to communicate more effectively.
  3. Team Spirit: A renewed sense of unity and collaboration.
  4. Problem-Solving Skills: Improved ability to tackle challenges together.
  5. Motivation: A fresh burst of energy and enthusiasm for work.
