Fun Day also known as Team Building are a way that employees get to relax and forget about deadline and get a chance to engage on a more personal level, on these events as employees we to know each other strength and weakness we learn to be comfortable with each other.   

These are importance of Team building in a work place:

•          Activities that create discussion enable open communication among employees
•       Team leadership and team building go hand in hand. The more comfortable your  employees are to express their ideas and opinions, the more confident they will          become.

•    Team building activities that require coworkers to work together to solve problems can improve the ability to think rationally and strategically
• ·   Team building increases the trust factor with your employees. 
•      Often in corporate settings there is a disconnection between the leadership team and employees because the employees sense too large of a gap between the two. 

Organisation should see the value of team building and how it’s going to contribute to the growth of the organisation and to produce more effective employees.
