We had such a great day and it was so well organised.
I thoroughly enjoyed the session, having not had the chance to connect with colleagues face to face for more than three years the day gave us a great opportunity to rebuild relationships and learn some new skills. Definitely a very different experience to other away days I have taken part in, and would really love to do this again. I would highly recommend Mark and the whole team who were on hand to assist all day. It felt great have accomplished something through teamwork that will contribute to preserving wildlife.
A really great team-building session!
4-star ratings only because (a) the time to complete was too short which made it difficult for even the best performing teams to apply good teamwork, and (b) it would have been helpful up-front to have some more time talking about good team-working behaviours for this type of exercise. Without this it became a team assessment rather than an opportunity to try and learn new behaviours. Having said all that, it was a great exercise to do!
Absolutely loved building the food/ play station for the squirrel monkeys. Gorgeous venue. Very friendly trainer. Will go back to Woburn in the summer holidays with my boys.
This was such a good team-building activity. Genuinely challenging, but the challenge leads were super friendly and supportive. They made sure we all finished with a great sense of achievement and, most importantly, that we all had the opportunity to support one another. Plus you can't beat watching monkeys enjoy your creation.
Fun team building activity and felt great to make something that can actually be put to use!
The activity chosen for the team building exercise worked really well and got everyone working together. Seeing the finished products being used in the Squirrel Monkey enclosure was a highlight of the day as they went straight to them when the food was added. Some of the feedback I received from the attendees have said it was the best team away day they have had.
It was a very unexpected type of course, and we enjoyed the challenge. I did have some concerns over H&S, particularly working on small round tables with round pieces of wood. Instructions on using drills and saws were minimal and there was assumption that in each team someone would be able to teach each other. This was not the case in our team and it was more hit and miss. It was a good feeling to complete the task, but the teams needed to be more evenly divided.
Original and good fun idea on the usual team building events, giving us a sense of purpose and the fact that we'd done something worthwhile for the animals. Really appreciated being able to see our creations in situ.
