Teamwork + Collaboration | Rewild Your Team

The way we all work is changing. With advances in technology, and as people’s skillsets become increasingly specialised, collaboration and teamwork in the workplace is more important than ever for your people to flourish and your organisation to thrive.

In the wild, we help your team look at how you can work together better.

The 21st century challenge for your organisation

Many teams suffer from problems with communication, lack of trust and low engagement, simply because their workplace doesn’t support collaboration, or provide the support they need to develop and grow together.

This is compounded by an increase in remote working, and when people are based in different offices.

So is your workplace a space where people flourish? Does your culture support collaboration? How do you maintain relationships and avoid creeping misalignment when not everyone is physically present? How do you retain talent and support people to grow and achieve?

Nature is the great leveller, helping you connect on a deeper level, breaking down personal barriers and prejudices, leading to more trust and more meaningful relationships between people from diverse backgrounds.

The benefits of bringing your team into the wild

Taking employees out of the office and into the great outdoors naturally fosters better communication and collaboration. Wild nature provides an open, unstructured environment where teams can get to know each other better and have meaningful conversations without the restrictions of hierarchies, or the day-to-day distractions of screens, phones or interruptions.
You'll leave feeling connected, inspired and refreshed, ready to work together better and do better work.

Questions we help you answer

• How can you work together better?

• How can your team be even better and stronger?

• How can you communicate better as a team?

This programme is especially good for organisations who have:

● remote workers
● new teams forming
● high staff turnover or low eNPS scores
● unhealthy conflicts
● dominant members or quiet voices not being heard

● long-serving employees stuck in the way things used to be
● managers absent or not supportive
● leadership needing to communicate changes to team
● recent restructures led to uncertainty and nervousness

How does it work?

Based around a fire, we design immersive team fire making or shelter building activities that bring everyone together, lower barriers, and get you thinking about the way you work together. Then we create a space for group creative thinking and collaboration on a deeper level, in order to surface rich, practical, and actionable strategy and ideas from the whole team, that you can move forward with together.

Group size: from 5 up to 50 people

Client Case Studies

Client: Global Medical Supplies Co
Location: Woodland, West Sussex
Group size: 7

What they said:
"We haven't felt like a team, until today"
Tessa, sales team

Who they are
This global medical technology company provide innovative healthcare and medical solutions. The south east region sales team is pretty new and has grown from two to seven people in less than a year. The product they sell is complex and the market is competitive. Team members come from diverse backgrounds, and all work remotely. The team want to spend time together away from the office to get to know each other.

Their question:
How do we communicate with each other, so that we can work together better?

What happened:
After a morning of making shelters and fires in the woods to connect everyone, at the afternoon campfire workshop the team came up with a range of practical ideas of how they can work with technology better, introduce monthly calls, and share information and knowledge more effectively.

Client: Think Productive
Location: Nature reserve, London
Group size: 10

What they said:
"Being outside four walls really helped us, as an already close group, to connect in a deeper way. Being in nature gave us permission to be more open and honest, with ourselves and with what we were hearing.”
Elena Kerrigan, MD, Think Productive

Who they are
Think Productive transform the productivity and wellbeing of leading organisations around the world, through time management and productivity training and workshops. They are a fully remote team.

Their questions:
How can we communicate better as a team?
What can we learn from that to help our clients communicate better internally?

What happened:
The day starts with immersive listening exercises around the fire, to build empathy and awareness, and then we use nature as a reflective metaphor to help the team answer their questions and make meaning together. The day prompts the leadership team to think about how to communicate change proposals in a more collaborative way, and showed a really clear need for a new training product - which they have since created.

I often hear a lot about strategy, but rarely get a chance to discuss with Dave (the CEO), it was great to be able to make my voice heard and have a decent conversation with him, without notifications and a crammed meeting schedule getting in the way!
