Frequently Asked Questions
Do you give out prizes? What is the competition level? Many of our team building programs include a competitive element. Winners are typically determined by accumulated points throughout the event. It’s never obvious which team will win till the very end, as teams have a wide variety of opportunities to earn points – some objective, some more subjective. However the competition is always friendly, with the ultimate focus on the outcome of teamwork, communication and relationship building. Aside from bragging rights, we do provide part of the budget to prizes. Some clients do choose to sweeten the pot by adding more and we always have something for each sub team. We suggest keeping the cash value of these prizes low — $5 – $25. Gift certificates for Tim Horton, Starbucks, iTunes or any local business work well. Another popular approach is to make a donation to a local charity in your winning team’s name.
