If locations are not your style then a bus around Durban and doing something fun for a corporate or team building event. We have a few suggestions to make sure that your team is happy and having fun. You could volunteer, do touristy activities and explore your city, or go go kart racing. with every event and outing we suggest you plan in advance and secure your bookings once you’ve confirmed the amount of people attending.
Consider the venue: Is it large enough for the amount of people attending and does it have the type of ambience and atmosphere you need for the event? You wouldn’t host a pamper day for your employees near a loud city centre where they cannot relax due to the noise.
Next, plan the activities: decide on what you’re going to do, who is going to facilitate it and keep in mind how long it will take to complete each activity. If you’re planning a timed activity you will most likely need an MC to usher along the progress so that time is not wasted unnecessarily. Consider introductions and icebreakers as well as allocating times for meals and breaks.
After activities and the venue is decided upon, consider food. Make sure you cater to the dietary requirements of those who attend, since many have religious or health related diets that are important to be noted.
Lastly and probably most important; transport and security. Safety is a big factor in any event, you should be able to secure a guard or private security company if need be to ensure that your event runs smoothly and without unnecessary accidents or incidents. As well as transport. How will you and your team travel to the venue? Do you have to pay attention to parking and the security risk associated with individuals cars being parked or would a larger vehicle that can transport many attendees at a single time to the event be better?
