COLLABORATION

To set the engagement pattern, recent innovations in training and an increased focus on outdoor training can go a long way.

Outbound training gives the employees a chance to learn outside the four walls of the office, in an environment where they can freely participate in team activities in the most 'natural' way.

We always thought of to get them into activities rather than making them watch or understand in a classroom. Classroom sessions aren’t that effective which needs to be but you take your employee out of the office which gives them fun, leisure time with colleague friends and most important you educate them in a different way.

Take the case of YOUPHORIA HOSPITALITY & OUTDOORS As a outbound company, they feel that outbound training can be very effective.

"By its very nature, this concept is unique because a lot of employees see this as a break from the normal professional routine. Since this is different from the daily activities , it leads them to explore their distinct identity during outbound trainings. Having their subjects in a relaxed frame of mind also gives the trainer an opportunity to tap into the developmental nature of their colleagues in a 'natural ' environment. At such times, outdoor activities also help identify the employee's individual talent that perhaps one never knew existed. Moreover, interacting in an environment that is hierarchy-agnostic , one is able to assess interpersonal relationships and the dynamics of working together, that can going forward, be addressed quite effectively."

COMBINATION OF PICNIC AND TEAM EXERCISE

Expertise explains, "Outbound Training (OBT) is a trend that is fast catching up. It is neither a picnic nor a team exercise held in the office. It is a combination of both. It focuses more on team achievement and team-centered goals. Individual achievements don't matter if the team is not doing well. It helps generate fresh ideas and better attitudes and acts as a trigger for each individual to work together towards the fulfillment of a larger objective and achieve individual goals and its organizational mission."

"In India, OBT has existed for a long time; it has eventually evolved from its infancy stage to a fully developed business line. It ultimately aims at stimulating a number of aspects in team dynamics like communication, problem-solving , decision-making and managing change."




PLANNING AND STRATEGY - EXECUTIONOutbound training is not only fun exercise to do but also importance to learn ethics, etiquettes, communication, expertise on various, planning and strategies which need to be execute.Outbound Training conducted very much in the outdoors. It puts participants in touch with nature. It includes exercises that are meant to build confidence in oneself, one’s abilities and to develop a feeling or comradeship and encourage team-building. The program is deliberate in its use of physical activities. Here the participants will be required to face challenging situations as individuals and teams. Rafting is probably the best test of both challenges. This will help them see the importance of communication, leadership, teamwork, planning and delegation. Outbound Training and all it entails is an effective tool in developing personality and important for training corporate personnel.
