Are you an HR manager struggling with all your teams suddenly working remotely?

 
Are you frustrated about having to spend all your time firefighting people management issues?
Now your whole team is working remotely for the first time, are you worried your usual headaches are multiplying with:
– Selective communication limiting productivity.
– Miscommunication and flashpoints increasing as people struggle to get their emotions and intentions across online.
– Overall employee engagement falling.
– Individuals feeling left out of decision making.
– Cliques forming or intensifying due to selective engagement and side chats increasing.
 
Book a call

 

We have a solution that could bring your team together right now, rather than waiting until everyone is back in the office.

 
Imagine waking up in the morning to half as many emails because the team is sorting out their own issues, requiring you to get involved less? What would it be like to see healthy teams have their productivity stabilise or increase, rather than plummet week on week as isolation continues?
 
We have managed a team across two sites, so have experienced how hard it is to keep people engaged and on track with projects, and how easily segregation can happen as people become selective about who they communicate and interact with.

We created a way for team mates to truly engage with each other, and since 2010 have seen the huge benefit our live activities have when based around tasks people genuinely want to be involved with.
 

Now we have a unique virtual team building offering that will do the same. It is interactive and collaborative, and excitingly it means we can now help companies all around the world.

We will provide a team building session that will:

– Encourage engagement across the whole team with an activity with real substance!
– Level the playing field so all team members feel included!
– Mix team members up for group work outside of their cliques, developing wider communication and bonding!
– Provide team members with a release from the current pressures they face and an opportunity to support family life and work.
– Provide a genuine outcome from this team effort for the ultimate feel good factor and help meet Corporate Social Responsibility goals even during this difficult period!

If there was ever a time to get your team involved in a team build it’s now.

 
We know that people are struggling with isolation and this is one way that you can support your people, the company and the animals. Imagine the impact of getting your teams working as effectively remotely as they do in the office. Imagine the savings if a project is completed on time rather than late.
 
Engaged employees are more productive and put more discretionary effort into their work and we know we can get your team talking. Our incredible feedback shows that even those individuals who hate conventional team building activities love what we do, and we want to reduce your stress by making it possible for you to have to get involved less!

How does ‘Virtual’ Team Building with BITE work?

 
You pick the species or animals we work with from our selection,
examples of animals that you might expect are:
 
– Giraffes: Looking at ways to keep this incredible species busy, and put their amazing 18” long tongue to work.
 
– Meerkats: These intensive foragers might have to move their entire bodyweight in sand just to find one tasty morsel in the wild so we want to keep them busy.
 
– ‘Nobby’s Macaque Troop’: This charismatic ex-pet monkey rescued by Lakeview Monkey Sanctuary oversees an eclectic group of 4 rescued females, who need to be kept mentally and physically healthy!
 
– Domestic Dog: Pet shelters and rescues are always need ideas, and it’s also a great opportunity for your team members to generate ideas for their own pets at home!
 
After you’ve made your selection we’ll send you some Background Research and tasks to do (some of which could be done with your families at home)

Bringing the team together

 
We work online on Zoom, we can accommodate up to 20 people and the sessions last 2hrs.
1. A facilitator will introduce the session and goal behaviour we are trying to achieve for the animal – we don’t reveal this in advance so people don’t skip ahead independently.
2. The whole group will work together on developing ideas.
3. Teams will split off into breakout rooms, each with an Instructor – these are assigned either randomly or by the organiser for maximum impact.
4. Teams will work on a final design to pitch to the rest of the group – don’t panic though, no previous design experience is required for this part!
5. Teams return to the main room to pitch their solutions to the set Goal.
Solutions will be judged by the teams, and our Instructors, before the winning design is announced.

An event with substance

 
After the event we will work up the winning idea into a 3D design to share with the group, and this will become part of a future team-building workshop where we will bring the design to life!
 
Alternatively the company could chose to fund us to build the prototype, allowing us to test the device for them, and send feedback, photos, and videos of the results. Or book your own team in for an in-person Team Building with BITE session later in the year at one of our Partner locations.
 
Whichever outcome you chose, we know that seeing animals interact with something you have designed is the ultimate reward, which will really complete this event!
