Teams That Play Together Stay Together
03 Mar 2025
It’s fair to say that most employees enjoy spending time outside the office socializing with colleagues—many of whom are also friends. Team-building activities come in all shapes and sizes, from a simple meal and drinks to a night of ten-pin bowling or even an extravagant hospitality package at the Six Nations Rugby. Regardless of the format, businesses across all industries recognize the value of team-building in strengthening workplace culture, whether formally or informally.
And there’s a strong business case for it—teams that play together stay together. Research from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reveals that companies that regularly invest in team-building activities experience a 36% higher employee retention rate than those that don’t. Team bonding fosters a sense of belonging and loyalty, ultimately reducing turnover and positively impacting the company’s bottom line.
Moreover, an employee engagement study by Gallup found that businesses with highly engaged workforces are 23% more profitable than those with low engagement levels. The benefits extend beyond financial performance, leading to improvements in employee satisfaction, reduced absenteeism, and increased productivity.
