Team4Teams has its headquarters at Rozenlust on Parklaan in Rotterdam. 

We can host first-class groups there in the Muzeum Quarter at a reasonable price and with free parking. Team exercises can be held outside in the surprisingly beautiful botanical garden, and in bad weather there is plenty of indoor space.

What we need is a spacious grassy field in the lee or a spacious hall. By the way, we are happy to come to the venue chosen by the client.

Incompany team training in Rotterdam is also possible as far as we are concerned.
A scouting location or sports club (with a food truck) is of course also possible.

Team training Rotterdam

We see team training primarily as a process to support team development. In the videos and photos, you will mainly see team exercises. A team exercise and content are not the goal, but a means to visualise the degree of cooperation, what goes well in it and what could be improved. The team and its development are central.

This can be done live in a group (preferably) at a (remote) location and also online if required.

The team assignments are substantive, engaging and fun to do. We choose them with care: What does this team need right now to move forward? What is going on, what does the team want to work on, what does the team want to explore? Confidence? Overcoming contradictions? Cooperation? Creativity? Perseverance? Dealing with diversity? Is attention needed for personal leadership, personal responsibility, self-organisation?

The strength of the programmes lies in the positive experiences and reflections. It also always requires elaboration and translation to the work situation. What do participants resolve to do with the day's experiences?

Once participants do this, they secure team training. More time gives more effect.

Yes. In our programmes, it is paramount that everyone can participate. Everyone is a member of the team and thus gets a role. So this also applies to colleagues with disabilities, whichever they are.

In team building, there are

• physical team exercises possible for teams that want to expend their energy (in competition)
• strategic team exercises, where physical conditions do not play a role, but where the emphasis is on creativity, out-of-the-box thinking and leadership, for example.
• team exercises for practical no-nonsense teams
• and team exercises for office teams not used to doing much exercise.

Consultation in advance allows us to tailor well to the group.

Subcontractors contribute

We advise an organisation to use the term 'the team' as broadly as possible. These are our considerations:

• It is not only permanent employees who can contribute positively to team growth. Also self-employed workers and substitute workers often contribute positively unseen. Seeing, appreciating and rewarding this brings great rewards!
• A team makes history with a team training session. But the real work takes place afterwards when all the good intentions have to become a reality. It helps if temporary staff also want to carry this along. 
• Sometimes the very cooperation between teams a bottleneck. We like to think along how a team day in which departments participate mixed gives added value. We have good experiences with that! It also (differently) broadens the definition of 'the team'.

Managers are team members

A broad definition naturally includes executives, a manager (of several teams) and a director. Optimal cooperation requires contributions from everyone. Managers thus together also give weight to the intended goals and themselves attention to the importance of good cooperation.

The positive experience of a team day thus radiates to colleagues who are not part of the core team, but who make important contributions. Cooperation goes better after a team day in which content has been realigned and team members make history together.

A tightening labour market can also be a reason to invest in connection - by a broad definition.

All our supervisors are HBO or university educated

• Our instructors are young and enthusiastic, they supervise team-building programmes of up to 3 hours. Having fun with team building activities is the goal.
• Skilled team trainers in addition to engaging team activities, focus on the group process and learning communication skills. The team is central to this, the exercises are an aid.
• Experienced team coaches go through a process with a team. They make knots in the cooperation visible and open for discussion. Stuck patterns come up with a team coach and the team adjusts them itself, releasing new energy. A team coach is a perfect choice when a team wants to start a growth process.

Instructors are the best choice for short team programmes and are also top for low-skilled groups. Having fun working together will be key.

Team trainers are the best choice for MBO and HBO-educated teams.

Team coaches are top with executive teams, managers, executives and team leaders and in teams in dire straits. 

Team training contributes to team growth

Team4Teams provides programmes to enhance cooperation in and between teams. We do this online, outdoors and indoors. Coaches support - step by step - a growth process towards better cooperation. Literally: team-building. Having fun in our activities is also an important feature, positivity and the Scale of Cooperation as a roadmap help make changes a reality.

Team assignments reveal how the group functions. Discussions about this naturally contribute to team growth. The more often you return to it (intelligently) at work, the more effective the team training will be; we call it safeguarding. Without safeguarding, there is no lasting effect.

Day activities and pathways

• Day (partial) activities are attractive because fun, a relaxed environment are combined with a substantive contribution in which cooperation becomes central. Participants are challenged to work with the self-discovered focal points. Suitable for teams that choose in advance to work on team development.

And sometimes a team is in dire straits and not ready to be challenged (playfully and substantively). Something is in the way. We start with (individual) talks and then guide a team for best results several activities in a row. 

• At pathways we see the most team growth.

(Re)finding the human touch, addressing each other effectively, feeling like a real team is the ultimate goal of our support. Whereby the return independently continues to increase.
