Team building exercises are important for getting employees to work better together. Companies have utilized this practice for years to help employees bond and become more excited about the workplace. However, many of their tactics are dated and the employees loathe these games of tug-o-war and other trite options for bonding, often dreading the events.
That’s how Team Building With Taste was created. With facilities in both Atlanta and Dallas, this team building process helps strengthen and build higher-performing teams by using the format of a cooking game show to get employees to work better together. Everyone loves food and a culinary challenge forces employees to work together to create spectacular dishes to win each challenge. Plus, the rewards are tastier to.
Team Building With Taste is an excellent option because it’s something different than the typical team building practices. Plus, it enforces time management, leadership, and delegation skills. There are also random curveballs thrown in for good measure to keep employees on their toes. Each team gets to work with a professional chef to assist them, and they must come up with their own team name.
The heat is on in the kitchen and there’s never a dull moment as employees work together, racing to present their dishes to the judges (chefs for Team Building With Taste) and impress them. Judges rate each team’s culinary creation based on three factors: time management, presentation and plating, and of course, taste. The more creative and innovative the teams are, the better chance they have to win. In the end, it’s all scrumptious fun for everyone.
It’s s surprising no one thought of this idea sooner. In 2012, Team Building With Taste came into fruition from The Food Movement, an Atlanta-based culinary event company founded by Paul McKeon and Jack Gerblick. These are entrepreneurial geniuses found a way to combine their love of food with motivational business practices to give companies a brilliant, not to mention delicious, way to bond together. Although it’s currently only in Atlanta and Dallas, Team Building With Taste is undergoing extensive growth and is aiming to expand to other locations soon.
Ideal for any team that could do with better productivity, Team Building With Taste is a two-and-a-half hour event that whips up fun, food and team building in the tastiest way possible. Employers will find it a cost effective solution too, with the costs of food, dinner, and alcoholic beverages combined starting $69 per person plus service charge.
