Thursday, May 19th, 2011 proved to be an energetic afternoon full of laughter when Colgate Palmolive came to Xpeerience Group for a corporate teambuilding event.The enthusiastic bunch took part in our Ultimate Experience program tailored to those who enjoy both athletics as well as intellectual challenges. With games including relay race, group juggle, human foosball, tug of war as well as various energizers in between, this program is an excellent way to encourage teamwork and keep interest.

The group, consisting of 28 members, proved ready to play as soon as they set foot in the soccer dome and held there liveliness throughout the entire event. Their friendly competitive nature was evident in each activity. One team member even pointed out that there was an unfair advantage because their opponents had an extra player when referring to the expectant mother who was ‘playing for two’. There was never an activity that somebody didn’t want to participate in, even the mother-to-be made sure that she was involved in any way possible with much encouragement from her colleages.

The day originally ended with a well deserved water break after having completed all of the skill-testing activities planned. However, this group surprised us facilitators once again by suggesting a 4-way tug of war match between all four teams as the culminating challenge to an already physically exhausting afternoon. This truly was one of the most energetic and eager groups we’ve had and through this experience they will surely harness that positive energy and bring it with them to the workplace.

We had such a wonderful time working with them and hope they all enjoyed their day of fun out of the office because we certainly did. We hope they continue to laugh and work together and look forward to seeing them again in the future!
