If you are looking to get creative with your virtual team-building activities, our Plant Workshops are a fantastic way to breathe life into your team’s social calendar!
Over the past few years, we’ve been providing Team-Building Workshops to businesses around Ireland. With the recent shift to remote working, we’ve found that many of these businesses are looking for ways to keep their teams connected and motivated from afar.
And so, we decided to offer our workshops digitally, giving a chance for teams to unwind, learn a new skill and connect with their colleagues, right from the comfort of their homes.
All The Good Vibes
Throughout the past 12 months of delivering our online workshops, we’ve found that the teams we work with have experienced 3 powerful core benefits:
Team Building
A Gallup Workplace study found that close work friendships can help boost employee satisfaction by 50%! Now, we can’t promise life-long bonds, but our workshops can provide an opportunity for employees to spend time together and connect in a stress-free, fun environment.
Boost Team Morale
Hosting regular team-building activities can have a powerful impact on team morale and amplifies employee engagement. In fact, according to an article by the Harvard Business Review, employers that promote positive working cultures report increases in loyalty and relationships amongst their team members.
Learn New Skills
Whether your team are budding horticulturists, green-thumbed gardeners or complete beginners, there’s something for everyone at our workshops! Each participant receives a kit relating to the workshop topic that allows them a chance to get stuck in, learn information, practice skills and come away with their plant creation.
Support for Event Organisers
We understand how much blooming work goes into running an online event for your team, which is why we do all of the dirty work for you… literally!
Here are some ways that we can help take the stress and time away from the planning & hosting process:
- Each workshop comes with a DIY Plant Kit for each participant to get stuck in and create. We will arrange the delivery of the kits to your team’s door.
- We will take care of all of the pesky tech stuff. We use Zoom to deliver our workshops and will host the workshop from start to finish.
- We understand that every company and team is different. Before the workshop, we will work with you to design a personalised workshop experience that caters for your needs.
A Little Plant-spiration
Our workshops are designed to be informal and interactive. We encourage everybody to get stuck in, share their progress and ask questions.
Participants can follow along as we guide them through each step. We also include a step-by-step guide as an additional reference. The workshops generally run for approximately 1 hour. A little lost on where to begin? Here is just a selection of some of the virtual team-building workshops we offer:
