Every year, a company needs to schedule some time off work besides the usual weekends and holidays for the entire team. This is highly beneficial since it enables team members to get to know one another better. It also helps foster great bonds and relationships which are very valuable if the company is to have a united team. In this spirit, the Brand2D team visited the Outspan Hotel and Treetops Lodge for their first ever teambuilding exercise. This saw the team members get to know one another on a personal level and most importantly, had them rejuvenated and ready to take on new projects with lots of gusto!
The Outspan Teambuilding Experience
Day 1
The teambuilding exercise began at the Outspan Malkia meeting room which was set to enable the Brand2D team to interact as a team through the various teambuilding exercises. The meeting room was endowed with the latest conference facilities including projectors and a public address system which made teambuilding an enjoyable experience for both the facilitators and the Brand2D team. During tea breaks, the team was treated to beverages and delicious snacks right outside Baden Powell’s Paxtu Museum. This gave them a chance to see the museum and familiarize themselves with the history of the Scouts and see where the Scouts’ Movement founder lived during his last days.
Teambuilding should foster building of relationships outside the work environment. This is facilitated by getting to know more about one another on more personal levels. It not only builds friendships, but in the long run it will most definitely help people understand one another better helping them work better together. The Brand2D team most definitely bonded on a whole new level through teambuilding at Outspan, where they used the expansive, well-manicured gardens that span 20 acres for various interactive activities. The activities created such as treasure hunts, football challenges and photography competitions helped build unity, create friendships and ultimately improved the relationships among the various team members. After teambuilding sessions at Outspan Hotel, some members of the Brand2D team sampled the Nyeri nightlife which is only 5 minutes to Nyeri town.
Day 2
Brand2D was treated to a one of kind experience at the world famous Treetops Lodge, located inside Aberdare National Park a sister property of Outspan managed by Aberdare Safari Hotels.

We got in through a lamp to a welcoming reception where we got a welcome cocktail and small brief of our stay at the Lodge.  The rooms were all ensuite, spacious and all have large windows for
