Known internationally as a center for educational excellence, in the form of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but locals know there’s more to Cambridge than study! A city with beautiful, historic buildings, riverside walkways, museums, and the beautiful fresh pond reservation.
Many businesses opt for a short, traditional, office-based team building experience Cambridge, but it’s won’t take you by surprise that there are many innovative teamwork businesses taking things outdoors into the beauty and history of the city, where camaraderie can really grow and thrive.
It’s also a pleasure to showcase some of the local charities, in need of help, which can be a great opportunity to combine getting your staff out and about, bonding in the community, as well as giving something back to the city you all love. With so many great causes to choose from, charity team building is becoming increasingly popular.

One of the most important things to consider when deciding what event is best for you is the makeup of your team. Different groups will have different preferences, and there is even research pointing to markedly different attitudes to team building between generations. Ensuring that it’s something all of your team can enjoy, and participate fully is crucial.
New England is beautiful, there’s no getting away from that. So there is definitely a huge appeal to getting out of the office for the day and enjoying some of what is on offer out in the wilderness. Having said that, in office events, or events that come to your office in the form of escape room vans, or game vans, can be an exciting alternative, meaning you don’t have to compromise on experience just because you’re not hitting the road!
For some events, you may have a higher focus on bonding, in which case ‘adventure’ is often the name of the game. However if an educational experience is required, then sometimes an indoor team activity will allow for more structure and focus on your core objectives.
Teams that get on well together are more likely to stay together. That sounds obvious, but many corporate incentive schemes completely miss that point and fail to deliver on keeping people’s work relationships friendly and positive.
Bonding activities are specifically designed to be more relaxed, and less formal and educational, than other team building events, and as a result can really help people let their hair down, and share some informal moments of fun with their colleagues
Having said that, another extremely important area for maintaining satisfied employees is in the personal development arena. A management day where staff get the opportunity to take charge and lead projects can help those who wish to develop in that way feel valued, and help you pick out your future rising stars!
