10. Survey Question #4:
C O M M E N T S from question #3
Regardless of your answer to question #3, please explain your opinion.
Comments (taken directly from survey)
Depends on Activity
We have staff in 4 separate offices, many employees do not know each other and
what everyone does.
I think this will give everyone an opportunity to interact with each other, since we
all do not work side by side. This would be a lot of fun and helps to build up the
moral of a team.
It is fine to have team building activities but our office is very busy and we do not
have time to participate.
Teamwork boots the work atmosphere
I believe that team building activities bring employees closer together.

13. Survey Replies:
C O M M E N T S from question #6
Do you think “walks” are an effective or ineffective way to
bring our employees together? (Please explain your opinion)
Comments (taken directly from survey)
Need more details regarding walks.
i.e Time, Place, Carpooling, (Donations?)
Not for me, In the past I have experienced being apart of a group, that
started out as a group, but only lasted for a few minutes.
Sure! I think several people already do them and if we join together it
would be a positive!.

15. Survey Question #8:
Do you have any ideas for team building
activities?
Comments (taken directly from survey)
Need more lead time for activities. If one was out for a day or so, they may not even
have known about it until it was too late. I liked the hula-hoop/luncheon we had. How
about a bowling party after work hours?
-loved the two games Kristy brought in last time
-loved the hula hoop game
-pictionary
-win, lose, or draw game (that would be cool)
-musical chairs blindfolded (play Christmas music if we do this at the Christmas
brunch)
Baking Christmas cookies and sharing them will all who participate. You will make a little bag of
cookies for whoever is participating and them give them out. You should get a nice variety of
cookies

16. Survey Question (cont.) #8:
I said neutral to weekend gatherings because I know I personally have a lot going on
outside of work, as I'm sure many others do, and I doubt many people will participate.
Other ideas:
Have small group activities - "fun" days - when all clinicians are offsite - engage in
several team building activities such as noted on this website

17. Wrap-up
As a result of this survey, we have gained positive feedback about
the topic of team building. Thank you so much for your input!!!
With regard to some of the comments:
Office too busy/not having time to participate – These team building activities are something
that the staff said they wanted to see more of and management, both in this department and
at Franklin Square, encourage. If you feel you are too busy to participate, please tell your
supervisor/manager – we will gladly sit out and cover the work in your office so that you can
join or have others help get the work caught up later. If you don’t tell us, we don’t know. If
you just don’t want to participate, that is fine as well, but please don’t ruin it for everyone else
who does.
Walks – started as a group but then lasted 5 minutes – The walks are meant to be fun and
many people have been doing them for years so they may know others at the events. If we
start as a team, but end up separated later on, that’s probably why – but it’s the joining
together in the first place that matters.
Not enough lead time (notice of events) – The pumpkin carving was the first activity we have
done together like this and it was last minute on our part to even decide to do it. We
apologize for that. In the future, more notice will be given.
Thanks again for the feedback! It helped tremendously! Together
we will come up with an action plan to help promote teamwork in our
department.
Special thanks to Anthony for helping take the lead on these activities (and for his savvy work on
this PowerPoint!!!) - From Management!
