How to Choose Your Corporate Treasure Hunt
August 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Corporate treasure hunts are increasingly marketed and used as team building events, quite rightly so as they combine the best of traditional team building with an enjoyable day. A treasure hunt, properly set up, can develop inter-departmental communication and co-operation, planning skills and problem solving skills. Thus it can improve staff motivation and efficiency. A poorly set up treasure hunt on the other hand, will have little real value, your employees will enjoy it but they will come out of it having practiced few of the skills normally associated with team building.
Your treasure hunt could easily be set up by Beryl and Sid from Accounts, nice and cheap in-house team building, but remember, they are not team building professionals and will not have the bigger skills-development picture in their mind when planning the hunt.

For a real benefit, you will need to use an external provider, but that will be expensive so naturally you want to make sure you get value for money. So what should you look for in a good corporate treasure hunt? Continue reading
