Corporate team-building events are evolving. Gone are the days of uninspired icebreakers and endless PowerPoints.
Today’s companies are looking for ways to create deeper connections—both within their teams and with their communities.
That’s where charity-driven team-building events come in. They’re not just about camaraderie; they’re about making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Let’s unpack how these events redefine what it means to give back while building better teams.

Winter can be a tough season for hotel and resort sales teams. With fewer conferences and events to fill the calendar, the demand for rooms and event spaces tends to cool off—but sales teams continue to feel pressure to keep the pipeline flowing.
Companies may be hesitant to host events during this time, preferring to wait for warmer weather.
But what if your hotel could offer more than just an event space?

Crafting Unique Team-Building Experiences to Meet Your Clients’ Needs
Let’s face it: corporate clients are no longer satisfied with standard meeting spaces and predictable activities.

Picture this: your team soaking up the sun surrounded by stunning landscapes and diving into activities that spark laughter, strengthen bonds, and boost morale.
At United EVENTures, we believe corporate team building should be an exhilarating experience that leaves everyone talking about it for months.
So, let’s explore three ways to add sizzle to your summer corporate team-building event.
Wellness Activities to Increase Performancehttps://teamue.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/cubicle-2-1024x680.jpg1024680adminadminhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c315242f7f2cb219daf4e1fb6baa57e1?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Let’s be real, working in the office can get a little boring sometimes. Staying in your cubicle all day can be tiring, and can result in lower motivation and productivity. Especially with the weather getting warmer and beach days just around the corner, it’s important more now than ever to make the workplace more fun and improve morale. Here are some tips that managers or even the everyday employee can instill in the workplace!
Try adding some fitness incentives. Create a system where employees can get points for meeting certain fitness goals, such as calorie tracker goals. As a reward, you can trade in those points for gift cards or other perks! Weekly happy hours are another great ritual to help cheer everyone up. This lightens up the mood, and will promote friendly relationships between everyone on the team.
One last tried and trusted method to energize your employees is to have a retreat. Whether they are company wide, or just limited to your department, spending this time together can build trust and create lasting memories. However, thinking of some ideas of what to do for your retreat can be difficult and burdensome. Leave that to us, United EVENTures!

Make Meetings More Enjoyablehttps://teamue.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/meeting-bored.jpg660371adminadminhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c315242f7f2cb219daf4e1fb6baa57e1?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Workplace meetings can tend to become a drag and become the bane of the employee’s existence. However, there are ways to make these meetings fun and something to look forward to. Here are some tips and tricks:
Reduce the number of meetings. If possible, try to use other means of communication, such as text message or email, to deliver information. This way, the meetings you do hold do not seem superfluous.
Follow a timeline and agenda. Having a layout of the meeting will help the team know what to expect and gives them a better sense of control, as they now know what will be discussed.
Provide food. Who doesn’t love free food?? Something as simple as coffee and doughnuts can help meetings become the highlight of the week.
End with something not related to work. The mood of the team can be tense after a meeting, so ending with a funny video or something light can help everyone get back to work off on the right foot.

How to Plan for the Futurehttps://teamue.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Girl-backpack-1024x640.jpg1024640adminadminhttps://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c315242f7f2cb219daf4e1fb6baa57e1?s=96&d=mm&r=g
Nowadays, we are able to immediately satisfy our needs, whether it be same-day shipping or doing a quick online search to find the answer to whatever question we have. With this, we can forget the importance of planning for the future. In this Ted Talk, Ari Wallach gives us the proper tools to have the foresight to ensure that we can help make the world a better place in the next 10 to 15 years, and beyond.
Wallach suggests that we can better plan for the future by realizing our responsibility to help set up the future generations, rather than just focusing on ourselves. Next, there are many different “futures” that we can help become a reality if we put in the effort. Lastly, all of this is not possible if we think of the “future” as 5 years from now. Rather, we must think “30, 40, 50, 100 years ahead.”
This is an important shift in thinking, as many of us just try to find “sandbag solutions”: temporary fixes to our dilemmas. However, these do not fully fix our problems and leave the future no better than before.
With this in mind, we can take control of the future and not think about it as something that just washes over us. Rather, it is something we have full control of. We just need to widen the view of the world and our impact on others.
