The Dallas Standard Discusses Team-Building Events

The director of operations at The Dallas Standard described the impact of team building on career and business success, and cited specific benefits.

“My fellow leaders and I at The Dallas Standard are committed to building an upbeat and supportive office culture in which we all thrive,” said Taylor, the firm’s director of operations. “Forging strong bonds with each other allows us to produce top-notch work on a highly efficient level, and to better help one another progress on our career journeys.”

To make sure everyone can seamlessly combine their unique talents, Taylor urges them to bond both in and out of the office. She pointed out that team social events are especially useful, because when her colleagues aren’t at work they can step out of their professional roles and engage with one another on a personal level. In turn, this boosts the morale in the office. The Dallas Standard regularly hosts such events, which include team dinners, bowling nights, leadership training, and more.

The Dallas Standard Leader Cites Benefits of Team-Building Efforts

“It seems as if so much focus in the business world is aimed at providing quality customer service,” Taylor continued. “While I agree that this is crucial, I often worry that the value of solid teams is neglected in the process. When this occurs, companies suffer. At The Dallas Standard, we rely on our team-building efforts to reduce the chances that this will happen. I’ve noticed plenty of great outcomes as a result.”

As per Taylor, team building never fails to improve communication. These types of activities promote discussion, and people become more comfortable with each other in the process. They’re more likely to share their ideas, and often become excited to assume new challenges.

“Structured team-building exercises are useful as well, especially when we do them away from the office,” Taylor stated. “Treating people to fresh experiences is perfect for innovation, for instance. Also, I’ve found that exercises involving group problem solving lead to more collaboration and strategic thinking.”

What’s more, Taylor reported that team building can remove any barriers that may exist between the team members and their managers. “Even though there’s no tension between our team members and our leaders at The Dallas Standard, I believe team building prevents any sort of conflict from forming at all. The bottom line is that team building is a must for any growing company. There are truly no downsides – I highly recommend it.”
