With Hong Kong being one of the leading two financial hubs in Asia, coupled with the rapidity of globalization, corporations and organizations are growing at an alarming rate. It is not a rarity where the number of employees within a company can sky rocket over a short period of time. Not only that, these corporations now comprised of employees of varying nationalities. With this phenomena at hand, the necessity for team building and super fun group activities has become one of paramount importance. It is quintessential that these employees get to know one another out of the work place in order for better team chemistry and camaraderie through outdoor team bonding or indoor team building training workshops. Therefore, this blog post seeks to bring into light, five of (not in any particular order) HK, Hong Kong’s most sought after and popular group team building activities and team building games!
