6 Factors of how every Virtual Team Building Event is Unique
Hello, I am Nistha, your Dancing Chef! Having hosted hundreds of corporate and team-building events, I have come up with the following observations which make each of these events unique in their own ways. Undoubtedly, I have learned a lot from each of these events.
Group Size in Virtual Events
It is always a pleasure to host teams of all sizes
For us, the size of the team is not a hitch! I have managed groups ranging between 5 to 1000 people at a time. Once there was a Diwali special event, and you will be amazed to know the number of guests we invited, it was around 28,000! I personally enjoy hosting events of such a big number as we gather and celebrate special days together. Furthermore, it really gives me a feeling of accomplishment.
Time of the Day
At The Kitty Party, time is never a constraint
Timing really matters in our online or offline events. Some teams make healthy wholesome lunches with us, some allot their time for dinners, and some are up for only evening mocktails. We have seen people getting up at 5 a.m. to join their team events, and sometimes they are attending straight after meetings. In Kitty Party, we make customized plans based on the time of the day to ensure the smooth running of events.
Knowing Each Other
Bonding as we dance together
Bonding is the core factor of a team-building event. It varies from team to team - some are very actively connected and they dance together, some are too shy to dance, and a few would involve themselves in talking and cooking along with their team members! These unique virtual events are made for both corporate clients, and families and friends. People invite their families and they dance and enjoy themselves together. Not only does it set the feel of the event but also shows the connection between the members of the teams or the families.
The Geographical and Cultural Diversity of the Teams
Our festive events are culturally inclusive
This is one of the reasons which make team events unique - diversity among the teams! I have hosted many programs where people have joined from different corners of the world. Irrespective of the cultural differences, we enjoy this amalgamation of cooking, drinks, and dancing and celebrate throughout. This not only gives a different outlook on different spices and foods but also takes us closer to the stories behind them.
Leading Trait of Team
Teams are always enthusiastic during their events with us
Teams have different and strong traits varying from curiosity, energy, health, and enthusiasm to inclination towards stories, love for food, and real closeness to each other. Teams like 'Capital One' were so eager to know about spices that they joined our Spice Event multiple times and the Q&A sessions lasted for more than 30 minutes! Amazon and Facebook were quite interactive among themselves. Teams of LinkedIn showed their love and care for each other.
How much Teams can Participate in Events
You can freely be as you want to be
We arrange the cooking sessions for everyone - for the ones who want to participate actively and even for the ones who love to be quiet learners. We have hosted teams making Butter Masala for their lunch, and also teams like Google who managed to prepare Paratha or Whole-wheat Bread due to their time constraints. We set the programs in such a way that groups can join from their office desks. But all the events are fun and enjoyable in both ways.
Team building events not only create a cohesive bonding among the team members but are beneficial for the overall growth of the company. In short, it is the fuel that keeps the company's fire blazing!
