The NZ Business Games are all about putting fun back into work, taking on the opposition with a bit of social competition, and having some action with work mates, partners or family. We all felt it was SUCH good fun, and a great team builder. The New Zealand Business Games is now New Zealand's single biggest business house event. They began six years ago and since then 16,000 people have entered with 2,900 participating in Wellington last year. The emphasis is on social competition and serious fun.
All sports are team based and most are mixed.
Anyone can enter, as long as you work for the organisation you represent or are family or the partner of someone who does. And it's not just for the hot and sweaty types. But for those into more active sports then we've got everything from Golf to Mountain Biking and Indoor Netball. In the last two years some 150 organisations have taken part, from small businesses like Hunters for Hair, to large corporates such as the banks and professional firms e.g. law firms, IT companies, and government departments.
