During the hards times, a business needs motivated and dedicated staff in order to survive, that is why team building is essential.
Gloom, doom and despondency - the financial news is far from cheerful during the current economic down turn. More businesses than ever are going under so how can you help yourself to make sure that yours does not become part of the statistics?
One simple answer is to make sure that your staff remain buoyant and motivated; a body of people who feel insecure, stressed and worried will inevitably communicate that to  your clients one way or another. That could quite quickly lose business for you. So you as a manager or business owner will need to ensure that your team are supported and strengthened, making them a more effective workforce.
That is easy enough to say but how do you achieve that in a cost effective way. Team building is expensive, right? Wrong! there are some great low budget team building ideas  around. Team building often raises groans amongst employees as they immediately think about an uncomfortable and wet weekend away in the wilds of Scotland or the Welsh  mountains. But using corporate entertainment as team building is the way forward. Initially, you may feel that spending on corporate entertainment is perhaps a little crazy but the outlay is worth it in the long run. If you get your staff working together on a motivational day it will perk them up and thus they will interact more positively with each other and clients, they will feel valued and those two factors will benefit your business.
If you choose your corporate event carefully, your employees will not realise that it is really a team building day. Corporate events like adventure games or a treasure hunt challenge, are inclusive, require negotiation, involve lateral thinking and have a deadline - exactly the skills needed for a group of people to work together as an effective team in a work environment. And they need not cost a fortune especially if you deal directly with the supplier rather than hiring an event management company to organise the day.
Thus to ensure your business survives the credit crunch - invest in your staff, get them motivated and develop their core skills.

The Significance of Secondary Characters in Storytelling
In the realm of storytelling, the depth and vibrancy of a narrative often hinge on the ensemble of characters that surround the protagonist.
