Reasons to Use Axe Throwing for Team Building

When you’re trying to create bonds that will make your employees into a cohesive team, there’s nothing quite like team building. Taking your team off site to do something fun will allow them to see each other in a different light, and the results include better communication and more effective collaboration. When you’re looking for a fun-filled activity that’s great for bringing people together, we think you should consider axe throwing.

Let’s face it, even though employers know that team building is beneficial, no employee is gung-ho on heading out to a required team-building exercise after a long day at work. What’s more, your business may have a wide range of people working there, from different cultural backgrounds and generations, with vastly different personalities and interests. How can you find an activity that appeals to all of those people? Here are some great reasons axe throwing fits the bill:

• Axe throwing is great for getting to know your coworkers. If you want to see your colleagues’ personalities shine through, wait until there are axes in their hands. Axe throwing lets people cut loose and have fun, free from the constraints of the workplace. It’s a no-pressure, fun-filled time.
• You can throw axes in any season. When it’s cold in the winter or hot in the summer, or it’s raining too hard for an outdoor activity, axe throwing can save the day. In a comfortable, toasty indoor facility, employees get enthusiastic about getting up and moving around.
• There’s nothing like throwing axes for stress relief. Work is stressful, no matter where you work. Deadlines, client issues, customer issues, and relationships between coworkers can all contribute to this tension, and team-building should involve an activity that relieves it. Flinging an axe with all your might and hitting the target to the resounding cheers of your coworkers is an amazing adrenaline rush that sweeps stress right out of the building.
• Throwing axes in teams helps you work together. When a group comes in for a corporate event, it’s important to give them a compelling reason to hurl some axes. That’s why we sort them into teams and lead them in games, so that employees are working together and building a team mentality. After all, isn’t that the very definition of team building? Want to kick the fun up a notch? Try dividing the teams into employees against the bosses. The glee of taking down management in a friendly but competitive game makes axe-throwing incredibly satisfying.
