It is vitally important for an office to have workers that like each other and work well together. This will improve the company's morale while also increasing every worker's overall productivity. It is hard for everyone to bond if they only work on solo projects, so you need to find fun and interesting ways to bring everyone together. These are the four best team-building activities for professionals.

Office Trivia

A game of trivia is always a fun way to bring people together. Break up the office into small groups and ask them a series of questions. The teams will be forced to work together as they try to decide on an answer. Mix in some questions about the company and your office to make things a little more interesting. The great thing about trivia is that you can include everyone working remotely.

Scavenger Hunt

There is not a more classic team-building exercise than the scavenger hunt. Give the teams a list of things to find inside and outside of the office. You can make things a little more challenging by using puzzles and riddles. Give out a prize to the team that completes the hunt in the fastest time to make things a little more competitive. Everyone will have so much fun they will not even realize they are performing a team-building activity.

Online Multiplayer Games

There are now a large number of online video games that require teams to work together to accomplish a task. Since every game requires a computer, this is the perfect activity for remote offices. Everyone can easily communicate in the game using a headset or headphones with a built-in microphone. This is such an effective tool that it was even used in "The Office" to bring everyone closer together.

Community Service

Community service is an excellent way to bring everyone together while improving your city at the same time. It should be easy to find a good cause that fits your company's values. Close the office for a day and have everyone report to the volunteering opportunity. Pick a day during your slow season to ensure you do not miss out on too much business.

About Candace Pendleton

Candace Pendleton lives in Westlake Village, California. She has over twenty years of day trading expertise in the futures market. Thousands of her students have learned how to trade successfully, attaining financial independence using her techniques and mentoring. While she is incredibly successful in this field, Candace never imagined a career in futures day trading.

Years ago, when she was suddenly widowed with two children under three, Candace had to devise ways to make ends meet through hard work and determination. Once she began searching for employment, she was hired as a Marketing Director. She was surprised and happy to learn that she had an innate talent for day trading futures. The only remaining ingredient to success was a need for professional guidance and training. Candace began researching courses and dove in, full of faith in the system and optimistic about her future. However, many classes she signed up for did more harm than good. They didn’t live up to the hype and cost a fortune.

As she grew into her position, she shared her desire to help other women in the trading industry. Her firm paid for her to learn how to trade options. Eventually, Candace Pendleton became the Women’s Trading Coach for the company and stayed in that role for 14 years.

Candace left her position to branch out on her own. She decided to take on the role of educator to help people like her, those who were new to the world of futures day trading. Through several costly teachable moments and trial-and-error, Candace developed a system that worked. After putting in 20-hour workdays to introduce an audio-visual plan that was 80% effective, Candace has helped countless people achieve their dreams without the hefty price tag of her competitors.

It’s no surprise that Candace ended up in a teaching role. To Candace, education is among the most rewarding and challenging professions out there. With an interest in teaching since high school, Candace graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Secondary Education and Teaching. In addition to her goal of helping others, Candace Pendleton’s dream is to be one of the premier female thought leaders in her field. Her role models include Kathy Lien, who began a career on Wall Street at the age of 18, and Nelisiwe Masango, a neurosurgeon who discovered her love in finance and investing and went on to become one of South Africa’s most successful foreign exchange market (Forex) traders.
