LAW OFFICE TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOPS

ENHANCING EMPLOYEE BONDING AND MORALE AT YOUR FIRM

A team building workshop involves a series of interactive games and activities that get employees to bond. It is usually presented to the group as a fun activity day rather than mentioning that there are any issues. The company thought it was a good idea to get together and have fun so that everyone could bond. It is not even really misleading since that is exactly what is happening.

YES AND...
Our activities generally begin with the concept of Yes, And... The idea is that participants have to hear what someone says and agree that what is said is 100% correct. In fact, they have to then add an idea to it and build upon that initial idea. This leads to very strange and fun conversations. More importantly, they are trained to be open to ideas from others in the group and to look to support others. This builds trust and the laughter bonds the employees. Of course, attorneys can't always say yes, but they need to remain open to what others are saying. This allows them to adjust and adapt and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. This is Mental Agility.

PING PONG
A collaborative exercise involves a conversation between two participants. They get a list of ten random words from the group and work together to make a ten sentence conversation that uses those words in order. It requires being totally open and comfortable with one another while also thinking quickly on their feet. This is fun and random while usually getting laughs.

Other exercises involve story telling, bonding through group activities and learning the value of being in the moment. Being more present enables people to think on their feet and have mental agility. All of these bond the employees and the content can be adjusted to teach a variety of values to serve the different purposes of a team building workshop.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

We help to develop the skills to overcome stress in the workplace and to learn how to find amicable ways of settling disputes.

MORALE

Using our techniques we can improve the attitudes of employees and help them to feel more a part of the company than apart from the company.

NEW MANAGEMENT STAFF

A change in corporate culture isn't always easy. We help to adjust to new management staff and to bond that staff with each other and their employees.

NEWLY FORMED GROUP

Newly formed groups take time to learn about one another and develop a level of trust. We can speed that process to become productive.

OVERCOMING SILO MENTALITY

There is a tendency for groups to isolate themselves from other parts of the organization and distrust others. We develop bonds between groups.

VIRTUAL TEAMS

As employees work remotely, there is an increased sense of isolation, decreased communication and a general mistrust. We help overcome those limitations.

WHY COMEDY
Having people laugh along the way makes them more open to new ideas and more likely to take lessons to heart. We bring funny people that can deliver serious amounts of information in an amusing manner. This helps to make any session more effective.

A MORE PRACTICAL APPROACH
Let's be honest, team building has a bad reputation among many employees. The average employee at a law firm thinks of team building as listening to a hippie in Birkenstocks talk about auras and energy. The reality of the experience is much different. Our professionals come from the business world. Our team building workshops are designed with true practical goals in mind for your law office.

LAW FIRM TEAM BUILDING EVENTS

WHAT GOALS HAVE TO BE ACHIEVED?

MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING: - By understanding each other and knowing each others' goals and aspirations, everyone is in a better position to help each other and to motivate employees.
GROUP SPIRIT: - A group of individuals just isn't as effective as a group working together. We work towards creating something of a unified spirit without losing their individuality.
TEAMWORK: - Often organizations suffer from duplication of effort and micro-management. We assist teams to trust one another more completely. This includes entrusting someone with tasks and then living up to that trust. Taking responsibility and accomplishing what someone sets out to do. We also encourage checking each other's work, but as a means to improve one-another instead of being seen as a punishment or lack of trust.
A FEELING OF APPRECIATION: - Setting goals for employees to motivate them to achieve greater success is highly important. Having a way to show that you appreciate their efforts while utilizing performances that are more acceptable as an expense is vital. We have a selection of meetings and incentives awards programs that get people laughing and having a good time while bonding with fellow employees.

With years of experience providing corporate team building services, the staff of THEY improv bring their business consulting skills to solve your employee bonding needs at your law firm. Whether you are looking for help in achieving corporate culture change, merger or acquisition assimilation, new management teams, improving morale, overcoming silo mentality, or dealing with the isolation of virtual work groups, we can assist you in unique ways.

WE LISTEN TO YOU
Prior to any corporate team building workshop, THEY improv listens to your needs and consults with you to determine the particular needs of your group, issues that need to be considered, timing, location and budget concerns to customize a program to help achieve the needs of the company in the best way possible.

MCLE AND WORKSHOPS
We have developed a variety of programs that advance the cause of developing talent for law firms. This can include basic elements such as conducting interviews and communication classes, or can be much more nuanced for even the most seasoned professional such as jury science and analyzing the human brain. With advanced notice, we can work with a firm to submit summaries of the workshop for approval for obtaining credit for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education. All of this is done in an environment of humor, helping turn the chore of continuing education into a benefit firms can offer to their Associates and can have the added benefit of bonding the staff

Areas of Law. Whether for Appellate, Business, Civil, Constitutional, Criminal, Entertainment, Family (including Trusts, Estates, Divorce, Elder and Juvenile), Intellectual Property, Medical, Military, Securities or Tax Law, or any of the other branches, we either already have a program that can assist practitioners or can develop a special program to improve performance.
