As an event planner, I'm under a lot of pressure to deliver on teambuilding outings that aren't the cheesy stuff of punch lines. Corporate team events are notoriously corny and, if you ask me, stifle a lot of pent up frustration that should be vented rather than actually building bridges that enhance productivity.
The small Long Beach company I work for agrees with me when I say that a little competition is the best way to bring the team together. By getting out the competitive grudges, people can work together, and parlay their newfound competitive respect to each other into teamwork that can be put into action against competitors.
That's why I've found that racing indoor go karts is not only hugely popular for its fun factor, but also because there is consensus that it really does build a sense of team, which is so important to improving cordiality and office productivity.
Many find that the good nature of competition on the raceway is easily transferrable in the office, where there is a common stride toward excellence, not necessarily on "being the best." And when teams are involved, many find themselves coming together in an unpredictably close way, as the fun of go-karting encourages serious team spirit.
The event managers at the indoor go karts track make it so easy to plan an event or outing. There are rooms of all sizes, in addition to a number of food options that they will all ensure arrive on-time and to specification. They are definitely committed to repeat business, so will go out of their way to really make the process of planning and enjoying completely hassle-free; and will always try to go to the extra step if it isn't the difference between them making and losing money on the party.
Booking successful corporate team events is definitely a thankless job - until you pursue the go kart racing in Los Angeles route. People went out of their way in the office to thank me for putting together such a fun event (and the CFO thanked me for making it so affordable!) and I happily took credit, even though I had serious help from the raceway.
Learn from my experience if you're in a place to plan a corporate team event this year. Enlist some competition, some high speed, a little bit of childhood nostalgia in the service of getting people to come together and see each other in a fun context outside the office. - 23802
