When the staff in an office building is disjointed, each person takes care of issues as they come across them without looking for help. Someone who is good at typing will work on a design issue that they come across even though they might not be skilled at design work. Someone else who is good at design work will handle any typing that they need to do rather than look to someone else for help. The less that the people inside an office rely on one another and turn to one another for help, the more that they are going to struggle with their work and the longer it will take for them to complete a project. There are team building activities that can be done so that each person can learn about their own strengths and about the strengths of those people who are working with them. After team building work is done, those in an office will start to rely on one another and ask for help with their work.

When a staff is just starting to work with one another, they might not know one another very well and they might not be interested in spending time with one another. A work environment is made better when the staff is friendly with one another, and a corporate team building activity can help everyone get to know one another. The leader of a brand new company might look into some of the activities that were designed to help people learn about one another and they might use some of those to help their staff become friends. They might use corporate team building activities to push their staff to want to eat lunch with one another and go out to eat after they are finished with work for the day.
