    IDEA 9: TEAM BUILDING DNA — DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR COMPANY?

    Discover your company’s DNA with this humorous team building activity! Inspired by a popular American TV series, DNA is a unique team building concept designed to strengthen your team’s cohesion. Your employees become participants in a one-of-a-kind experience where they must make decisions, take strategic choices, and analyze their collective dynamics.

    Through repeatedly asked questions, teams take positions on various topics while some members select the best candidates for key roles during challenges. Their choices are then compared to rigorously studied global statistics.

    What this brings to your company:

    – A deeper understanding of your employees’ core identity and character

    – Insights into differences and similarities based on age, gender, skills, and more

    – Discovery of strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for improvement (from the cafeteria to work schedules!)

    – Enhanced team spirit in a fun and lighthearted atmosphere
