Your team building expenses usually include venue, transport, accommodation, food/drinks, and costs with teambuilding activities.
Corporate events and teambuilding activities in Kenya can become an expensive exercise for any organization. This is because teambuilding activities require money for venue booking, payment for facilitators, food/catering, transport/logistics and other expenses. If your company has a limited budget to work with, the following points can help to keep costs down while still having a great time.
Plan your event budget carefully
Your event expenses usually include venue, transport, accommodation, food/drinks, and costs with teambuilding activities. Being aware of all the costs incurred will help you determine where you can afford to cut costs, depending on your business goals and team requirements. Professional companies that provide teambuilding activities in Kenya usually have multiple packages to suit various budgets. Just be direct on the budget available and the desired objectives so that a customized affordable package can be organized for you.
While a great location and venue is important, team members are guaranteed to remember foremost the challenges, fun and excitement on the day.
Keep activities costs within budget
If you are planning a team building event on a budget, it is best to focus on your choice of activities first and then the setting. While a great location and venue is important, team members are guaranteed to remember foremost the challenges, fun and excitement on the day. Invest in the activity. In any case, the most important aspect of an event venue is that you get ample environment for activities – not necessarily a ‘prestigious’ location.
Select the right venue
The right choice of venue can do wonders for your low budget. Enquire about all-inclusive packages or group discounts that preferably include catering, accommodation and transport. Consider “off peak season” teambuilding to benefit from the low season rates offered by some venues. For example, it may be cheaper to do teambuilding activities in Kenya during the month of November compared to December due to festivities.
Go slow on fancy catering
If budgets are limiting, consider a less expensive choice of catering, or look for more affordable menu options at your venue or event organizers. Outdoor picnics are a wonderful idea in during hot seasons, while hearty, inexpensive meals are perfect for the colder season. The key thing is to ensure you focus on getting value for money.
Often transportation takes a big chunk of any event’s budget. If a teambuilding on-site is not an idea to entertain, choose a venue not far from the business itself to keep costs down.
Limit travelling
Often transportation takes a big chunk of any event’s budget. If a teambuilding on-site is not an idea to entertain, choose a venue not far from the business itself to keep costs down. Alternatively, you can use your own transport means like company bus to avoid incurring costs of hiring a transport van.
Make it super fun!
Finally, all the above considered, remember that a teambuilding event in Kenya should be exciting, fun, inspirational and practical. Some of the best teambuilding activities and games can be set up with little, but achieve great results nonetheless. The activities need to be interesting and energizing to ensure that staff are not bored. Keep this in mind next time you are budgeting for teambuilding events.
A well-facilitated and engaging team building event will add great value and return on investment (ROI).
The team building experience, formal or informal, is not recreational and includes process facilitation, debriefing, and reflective questioning.
