UC Offers New Team-Building Program

A new opportunity out of the University of Cincinnati's Conference and Event Services area will allow UC teams a chance to get outside of their four walls and re-energize. At a

Build & Bond Summit

, teams can spend concentrated time on ideas, strategies and priorities in a comfortable and fun environment, while building and bonding together in one of the best collegiate recreation centers in the country. After a day of immersion in facilitated strategy development and team building experiences – exercising both mind and body –the collective unit will have fresh ideas, have gained perspective about their colleagues, and will feel a boost in morale.

Benefits from the Build & Bond Summit:

• A better understanding of the organization’s mission, vision, and strategic initiatives.
• Identification of where your strategy may leave you exposed to risk or missed opportunity.
• Recognition of areas of improvement to better execute your strategic goals.
• Higher employee morale.

After lunch, participants will spend time engaging in team-building exercises designed to bring team members closer through various activities that use both the body and the mind.
