Sunway Unity Quest (2D)

Two Day Teambuilding Program in Collaboration with Sunway Lagoon

Overview

Any organization suffers greatly if their promising employees become misaligned, demotivated, or lose sight of the core purpose of the company.

So, how do we effectively motivate and help our employees build the correct mindsets, attitudes and synergy for the long run? Each year, companies organize incentive trips and offer enticing rewards to galvanize their employees. However, you’ll quickly realise that rewards are insufficient if the team’s organizational commitment is still unchanged.

In this impactful teambuilding program, Teacher Kean leverages on his years of teambuilding and rapport building experience. He has customised a fun and engaging program designed to realign and reinvigorate your employees so they can lead your organization to deliver results beyond expectations and with an immovable sense of mutual trust and respect. The program also includes a vital empathy and active listening session so every participant has a safe space to voice ideas and concerns, and for the entire team to support and understand each other better.

This program is also a great opportunity for the high achievers or potential leaders to be acknowledged and appreciated. The participants will be engaged in deeply engaging and change-provoking activities, and their learning will be cemented and enhanced by dynamic debriefing and sharing sessions.

Teamwork and Collaboration (Team Decision Making and Achieving More as a Team)

METHODOLOGY

The training consists of a meticulously designed blend of interactive learning, experiential games and activities, group coaching and dynamic debrief sessions.
