In the corporate world, team building<\/strong><\/a> has become a key element for improving collaboration, communication, and cohesion among team members.<\/p>\n\n

In this article, we explore the 5 reasons why team building<\/strong> in nature can be beneficial for companies.<\/p>\n\n

Corporate team building in nature: what does it involve?<\/h2>\n\n

In recent years, there has been growing awareness of the importance of reconnecting with nature.<\/p>\n\n

For this reason, team building<\/strong> in nature offers a unique opportunity to support team growth and development in ways that a traditional corporate environment may not provide.<\/p>\n\n

By disconnecting from routine, stimulating creativity, strengthening communication, and promoting sustainability, companies can benefit from a long-lasting and effective team building experience<\/strong> in nature.<\/p>\n\n

Why is corporate team building in nature better? Here are 5 reasons <\/h2>\n\n
    \n
  1. Disconnecting from routine: <\/strong>Nature offers a unique opportunity to unplug from the hectic corporate routine. Away from desks and meetings, team members can relax and recharge in a calm and inspiring environment. This helps reduce stress<\/a> and promote a positive mindset. After activities with WildSteps, we recorded a 13% decrease in participants\u2019 stress levels. <\/li>\n\n
  2. Creativity and innovation:<\/strong> Natural beauty stimulates creativity. When teams are in a natural environment, they are more likely to think innovatively and outside the box. Outdoor walks, brainstorming sessions under the trees, or along the trails during a walkshop<\/a> can lead to fresh ideas and creative solutions. <\/li>\n\n
  3. Communication and collaboration:<\/strong> Nature puts communication and collaboration skills to the test. Overcoming obstacles together, such as uneven terrain, or facing small challenges along the way requires a higher level of coordination and cooperation. These challenges strengthen the bonds between team members. In fact, 85% of participants feel much more collaborative toward their colleagues after activities carried out in nature. <\/li>\n\n
  4. Leadership and role management:<\/strong> The natural environment offers the opportunity<\/a> to develop leadership and role management in new ways. Participants may be asked to lead activities or take on responsibilities in unusual situations. This supports personal development and awareness of one\u2019s own abilities, as well as trust in colleagues. <\/li>\n\n
  5. Awareness and sustainability: <\/strong>Organizing team-building activities in nature promotes greater appreciation for the environment and sustainability<\/a>. Participants become more aware of the importance of preserving nature and can bring these values into their corporate context, contributing to a culture of sustainability. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Clean-up with Too Good To Go in Sestri Levante<\/h3>\n\n

    Too Good To Go Italia<\/a><\/strong> decided to include, during its team building <\/strong>days in Sestri Levante, a beach clean-up activity based on a scientific protocol and supported by OutBe, first and foremost to preserve the natural beauty of this place, while also learning to recognize and catalogue different types of waste and gaining greater awareness of the current situation in coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n

    The clean-up activity was led by a professional biologist, who explained the problems the sea is facing regarding plastic pollution. Afterwards, the Too Good To Go team split into two groups: one group collected waste using gloves and bags, while the other catalogued and counted the waste as it came in. <\/p>\n\n

    At the end of the activity, 5,052 items of waste were collected, for a total of 18 kg of plastic. The most common items were 2,830 plastic pellets, followed by 1,949 cigarette butts and 74 pieces of glass.<\/p>\n\n
