Why would management rent a climbing wall for an upcoming corporate teambuilding event? Because managers today understand that a climbing wall is a great way to encourage and promote trust, communication, and bond-building among their employees. Games and exercises have for years been used as a way to strengthen employee relationships, and the bottom line is, stronger employee relationships boost business productivity. Not only does a climbing wall provide many benefits to corporate management, employees really do enjoy spending time this way. Climbing walls are trendy, they're a bit risky, and most of all, they're a lot of fun. And because they're having such a good time, employees don't even realize they're learning valuable skills that they'll take back to the office. What can a climbing wall teach your employees? Well first of all, they'll do more than just climb. Employees might climb blindfolded, making it necessary to trust and rely on the guidance they receive from their coworkers. Another task that promotes plan building and organization skills involves a relay-type climbing wall activity. The first team member climbs as far as he can and then the next team member picks up from that position and continues as far as he can. This continues until all team members have had a turn and the goal is to see which team can climb the highest. You'll find that climbing wall rental prices are generally by the hour and are very reasonable. In fact, you'll often find rental companies willing to strike up a deal. Most corporate teambuilding events are held off-site, and since climbing walls are transported by trailer, they can show up anywhere. When you're looking for something different to do at your next corporate teambuilding event, consider renting a rock climbing wall. You'll be amazed at the skills your employees will learn.
