A planning guide by Get Out! Events.
Orchard Road is better known for shopping and hotels than for team building, yet that is exactly why it works for many companies. Offices in retail, hospitality, media and government agencies sit along or near the belt, the MRT network reaches it easily, and there are hotel function rooms, malls and green pockets all within a short walk. A team can meet in the morning, run an activity, and be back at their desks or at dinner without a long coach ride.
This guide is for HR and admin teams based in or near the city centre who want a team building session that fits into a working day. It looks at how to choose an activity format, how to pick a base in the Orchard area and how to run the day smoothly in a busy district.
Easy access from the North-South Line at Orchard, Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut, and from the Thomson-East Coast Line.
A wide choice of hotel meeting rooms and premium event spaces for an indoor base.
Streets, malls and landmarks that suit a city trail or race format.
Plenty of places for lunch or an evening meal straight after the activity.
What do you want the team to take away: stronger cross-department links, a shared win or simply a good afternoon together? How much time can people step away from work: a half-day or a full day? And how active is the group comfortable being in the heat? Your answers point you to the right format faster than any activity list.
Activity Formats compares the options that suit the city centre. Venues and Access covers choosing an indoor base and moving around the shopping belt. Running the Day sets out a schedule and the practical details that are easy to miss.
