A little something more: Try Team Building
We like your thinking! We also offer team building programs both in person and online to ensure you receive maximum benefit from your PACH experience. Why not try one of these activities:
Lego Legends
In every real adult a child is hidden that wants to play! Make sure you channel your inner child for this uplifting program that will see participants battle it out to build the most Legendary LEGO structure. The playful spin on this program transforms to heart-warming when the finished models are donated to a children’s charity of choice.
Belbin Workshop
Do you ever feel like there is something lacking from your team, but aren’t quite sure what it is? Understanding what makes a good team great, goes beyond employing the people with the best qualifications or most experience. A great team has the right balance of skill, knowledge and behaviours within its people and through a Belbin workshop we can help you identify just that.
SkyNet
So, you think you have what it takes to navigate Skynet? Working as a team, you will need to put all your skills to the test if you want to come out on top at the end and claim the ultimate victory! This exciting and fun virtual team game is completely accessible online and is sure to connect teams and boost positive team culture, anywhere, anytime.
Life is more fun, if you play games.
