Poll: Do you think team building away days benefit your business?

-

Over two thirds (67%) of employees have been on team-building away days in the last five years, a new survey revealed this week. Despite a fifth of respondents reporting the importance of team-building activities for improving relationships with colleagues, they seem to have become less of a priority.

Last week’s poll

Last week we asked whether you think competition in the workplace makes for better employee performance when parents and teachers revealed their concerns that a lack of competitive activity in schools is harming young people’s chance of career success.

So far, an overwhelming 78 percent believe that competition in the workplace improves performance but there’s still time to vote. What do you think?
