VietNamNet Bridge - If you’re looking to do a bit of team building a company retreat is the perfect challenge, discovers Duong Kieu Company retreats, also referred to as professional development seminars, are growing in popularity in Vietnam. Looking to capitalise on this growing demand, numerous travel agencies in Ho Chi Minh City have created team building packages. An itinerary will be devised incorporating games or services based on the requirements of each client that, whether indoors or outdoors, will energise the group, illuminate the issues at hand, and provide a welcome break from their sedentary jobs! “Our clients are mainly colleagues, loyal customer teams, directors or marketing agents with potential strategic clients, who usually combine internal meetings or business events with games to help them all relax and get to know each other,” says Minh Phuong, the marketing director of Vietmark travel agency. “We are tired of merely going sight seeing. What is interesting is heading out into nature then sharing the highs and lows with our colleagues and bosses,” says Huynh Nguyet Thu from SV technology after a successful teambuilding trip. Depending on the clients’ time, budget and trip’s main purpose, the agencies brainstorm the most suitable package. “Games could be indoor or outdoor but most prefer outdoor activities,” says Phuong. Such team building trips usually revolve around physical activities but more intellectual challenges are also used. The games help people work together. Office positions are left behind. Hidden talents are encouraged to emerge. “I really found it such fun and so encouraging to do this. On the trip there was no distance between us – juniors and seniors were side by side. We were all in the same boat, fighting, yelling and living life together!” says Le Tran Huong Lan, from Atlas Copco. “I was a little bit worried when I first heard the games explained but it was a great experience to have with my colleagues.” “We have to survey suitable places to organise each specific game package, in which we aim not to harm the environment and protect participants by providing medical support and rescue boats,” says Phuong. “I would never have believed that I could swim across a sea like I have just done on tour, which, I think, is down to being able to explore myself and realise everyone’ else’s strengths,” says Thu.
