Innovative Team Building: Reckitt Benckiser's Drum Circle Event Boosts Employee Engagement and Collaboration

Client Request

Finding an activity that truly engages participants in a team building project can be a challenge. To achieve it, Reckitt Benckiser, the multinational cleaning products company, asked us to help them strike the right note with their employees through an innovative event.

Our Project

We suggested they try our Drum Circle activity. The resulting event was a carefully designed symphony of teamwork, fostering harmony and active listening among colleagues.

The event began with an unusual icebreaker – participants introduced themselves solely through body language, setting the stage for a day where communication transcended words. With drums in hand, employees became an impromptu orchestra under the guidance of a skilled facilitator. As individuals learned to sync their instruments, instincts, and emotions, the air filled with beats and rhythms.

This percussive pursuit proved that when a team listens and responds in unison, the result is magical, creating unity and shared purpose. The grand finale saw teams composing their own musical pieces, complete with lyrics and arrangements. Each group then performed on a small, curtained stage, showcasing their newfound melodic skills in a friendly competition. This crescendo of creativity entertained and solidified the bonds forged throughout the day.

Outcome

Choosing a Drum Circle for team building struck the perfect balance between fun and function. It demonstrated that sometimes, the most effective way to improve team dynamics is to make a little noise together, proving that harmony can be orchestrated through innovative means.
