Regular company outing is actually recommended not just for relaxation but also for promoting camaraderie among our colleagues as well. This is why teambuilding activities are carefully planned to make sure everyone enjoys them.

This year, I’m in charge of finding the venue and planning the activities for our summer outing. Compared to the past years, I got a lot of requests on where our activity will be held – majority of which are hiking requests. I guess they got bored with the beach resorts so they want to try something different this time. Considering that a lot of people in my company IS getting fat from just sitting in front of the monitor the whole day, hiking is definitely a good idea for a company outing.

Since most of my colleagues have their own digital camera or camcorder, I think it’ll be great if the activity will be an MTV creation of some sort. This way we’ll get to enjoy the scenery, bond with friends and new acquaintances, and best of all, have our own company music video. “Where’s the challenge there?” you ask. Well, winners get a week long paid vacation. Losers … hmm… salary deduction for the week long vacation of the winners. Haha, kidding guys!
