Others, more comfortable with the conventional version of training courses, add a new twist to the program with trainers brought in to work with the business. Challenge Discovery, which has an of-fice in Richmond, usually operates its outdoor programs in Doswell, near King's Dominion. With Carter Ryley Thomas, Challenge Discovery president Greg Huber brought his program to the firm's two-day retreat in Shrinemont. Before Huber begins a program, he assesses the needs of each group. Hipple and his employees wanted a chance outside the office setting to demonstrate how everyone could work together to accomplish a task.
Teamwork is important to the public relations firm.
The outdoor training was a success for the firm. His session really helped us kick off our two-day retreat. Other training alternatives that allow everyone in a group to participate are the team-building games available on the market. Financially beneficial because they can be used more than once and convenient because they are portable, these games can bring together employees in the office or out during a retreat. The team-building version, which has been on the market for two months, has received positive feedback.
