In response to a specific request from ABB teams, Gosnoop team were searching the right Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity to combine with the group team building. We surveyed the Trok Sakae area, where a small alley in the middle of the city filled homeless. The individuals on the street are mostly suffer from financial hardship and mental disabilities. They are relying on food and support from occasionally generosity of the community. We saw the opportunity to make a difference. GoSnoop worked closely with the Thai food bank organization. With the group efforts of over 40 ABB employees, they sourced, prepared and distributed over 300 lunch boxes and provided essential items such as water, bread, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and face masks.
The Customer’s Experience:
ABB’s team had an amazing experience that changed them for the better. They faced exciting challenges that required good communication, trust, and teamwork. Along the way, our game required the team to communicate and collaborate through fun and challenging riddles and puzzles while exploring off-beat tracks around Bangkok’s old town.
Apart from the fun aspect, they were eager to do something good for the people in the game area. At the Trok Sakae area, a small alley in the middle of the city where homeless people and those facing difficulties gather, they saw the opportunity to make a difference. These individuals wait there for food, support, and sometimes even live and sleep on the streets. The vast majority of them are urban poor with low or no income. With the efforts of over 40 ABB employees, they distributed over 300 lunch boxes and provided essential items such as water, bread, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and face masks. The event lasted for about an hour, but within that short amount of time, they were able to create a positive impact on over 300 homeless individuals and strengthen their bond with the community. It was inspiring to see how dedicated they were to making a positive impact, showing that they were united beyond just work. Despite language barriers and rain during the event, the team supported and encouraged each other, making their bond even stronger.
Outcome:
The team building program at ABB had amazing results, significantly improving their teamwork and leadership skills. They did really well in the GoSnoop game, using their strengths and different perspectives to solve problems in creative ways. The CSR activity showed how well they worked together, caring about making a positive impact on the homeless in the area. From this experience, two important things stood out. First, even teams without conflicts can benefit from team building activities. It helps them get to know each other better, build stronger connections, and discover hidden talents. Second, it’s important to overcome language barriers for effective collaboration. ABB’s journey showed how powerful it is to break down language obstacles and embrace diversity. When team members communicate openly and understand each other, they can achieve impressive results. One team member shared their experience: “It was so much fun! We had a great time developing our teamwork and collaboration skills. Each riddle challenged us to work together, putting in our collective effort to solve each question step by step. It was an enjoyable and rewarding experience!”
Summary:
In conclusion, ABB’s experience with GoSnoop’s team building program shows that working together and breaking barriers can bring about big changes. They had a great time, made new friends, and made a positive impact on society. It’s clear that well-planned team building activities can help teams grow and work better together. We want to encourage teams everywhere to see the benefits of team building. When you work together, collaborate, and have fun, you unlock your team’s full potential.
