A photo activity designed for team building, in the service of team cohesion.
A good team-building event is essential to the cohesion of a group of colleagues. These events support good working relationships, which in turn has a considerable effect on internal performance.
Team cohesion seminars, team-building weekends and company evenings can serve several purposes: celebrating good results, integrating new colleagues, managing tensions or strengthening cohesion. Whatever the motivation, what matters is that the event is original, enjoyable and funny — and perhaps unexpected. With WeChain, choose the team-building photo activity that brings atmosphere to your activities and works as an ice-breaker between your teams.
Choosing your team building
You are spoilt for choice. Depending on your location, the age of attendees and the length of your event, the options are plentiful.
You can hold your seminar, congress or conference in a theme park, at the seaside, at a ski resort, in the countryside, or — budget permitting — abroad.
How do you organise an original team-building event?
There are two approaches. Either you use an event agency that handles everything from end to end — transport, accommodation, catering, activities on site — or you do it all yourself.
One rule above all: book the accommodation before you start planning the seminar’s activities.
Once the main practical details are settled, select original activities consistent with the theme of your team building and its location. If your attendees work for a frozen-food group and you have chosen a ski resort in December, favour igloo-building over a cocktail-making workshop. Choosing the activity is not to be taken lightly: it can have a considerable effect on how your employees perform.
How do you gather the photographs from your seminar or congress?
Think how many photographs will be taken during your team-building event. During activities, evenings, meals. How many portraits, flattering or otherwise depending on the circumstances, will be taken?
And yet most of those photographs are condemned never to leave the phone that took them. It is a shame, because it would be good to pool the unusual images from that incentive seminar, or the moments of laughter from that team-building day. WeChain has designed the team-building photo activity that gathers every photograph taken for your employees, and gives your evening or your activities something to build around.
We have the solution you need
WeChain is the team-building photo activity that puts this right, by letting all your attendees take part live, through an app, for the whole duration of the event, in a photo album created for the occasion. You collect every picture taken at your event in one place.
To do it, you need only start a chain — that is what we call these albums — with the name of your choice, then invite the people you want in it. You can also ask us to prepare the chain for you.
In under a minute you have chosen a system that is simple and practical, and that gathers every photograph taken during the seminar, congress or event.
And there is more. The chain reaches your attendees well beyond their phones, because it is displayed live on a large screen during, for example, the closing evening of the seminar.
The team-building activity your employees will take to
An incentive in the service of team cohesion: a photo activity built for your team building
The WeChain team-building activity does more than pool photographs. It goes further and turns that content into a genuine digital activity. How? By displaying the photo album on a large screen. Each photograph published appears front and centre before settling into the mosaic. Everyone gets to be the star of the evening for a few seconds, to enjoy themselves and to make the most of the event. It is a good way to strengthen the bonds between colleagues.
A host of small details fill the screen as well — likes, live comments — and you will see the difference it makes to genuinely share photographs. Polaroids, photocalls, photo booths: all of these have proved their worth. But they remain expensive, cumbersome and time-consuming.
With the WeChain team-building activity, none of that applies. Publish your photo album, invite your guests in one click, and connect a computer to a projector showing on a large screen or a white wall.
That is all it takes. You are then free to place photocalls of your choosing around the venue. And thanks to the app, people can take a photograph from anywhere. Who will be the most original?
If you want to filter photographs before publication, use the moderation option to keep the content on the chain appropriate. There is no concern about leaks either: only guests invited to the chain can see it.
We also offer original photocalls, on request. The WeChain activity works well alongside a professional photographer, who handles the more official photographs.
With WeChain, everyone at your team building keeps the album from the event. At the same time, you make that event more enjoyable through an activity that is genuinely its own. It is a good incentive for strengthening team cohesion, breaking the ice, and bringing colleagues closer so they work as an effective team.
