Philfund Team Building

February 6, 2016. Team Building Organizer CDO by The Marshalls facilitated another team building activity and this time it is for the Philfund Financing Company. The team building was held at Luxe Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City.

The participants were composed of 37 members divided into 5 groups and were from Philfund's different branches: Cagayan de Oro, Surigao, Butuan, Valencia and Malaybalay.

Since this is the company's first time to have their team building facilitated by an organizer, all the activities were new to them. The company's main goal is to enhance communication, team work and fellowship within its employees but at the same time have fun and take a break from all in a day's work.

Planning the team building was short and there were change of plans along the way, but the team were able to pull it off and everyone had fun during the Amazing Race Activity.

The Green Team

The Red Team

The Yellow Team

The Orange Team

The Blue Team

The amazing race had 5 pitstops which put to test how each participant handle the task and most importantly how they relate to their team members during the activity. All the activities were carefully chosen as their actions would reflect on how they are at work.

We were happy to see how all the teams displayed communication and camaraderie during the race as well as we have seen individuals who stepped up to lead the team in order to achieve each task.

We could not forget the participant's faces and how exhausted they were every time they arrive at each pitstop but for the name of the game, we were surprised at how energetic and excited they were to read and perform each task given to them.

The participants also learned a lot during their processing as each marshall have provided their inputs on how the participants were during the game and the qualities they demonstrated during the race.

The Blue team garnered the highest score from the Amazing Race and everyone enjoyed the entire night during their fellowship.

At the end of the day, the participants were left with words of widsom - "Collaborate to Dominate".
Anything can be achieved as long as we have good communication and camaraderie within the team.

P.T. Cerna Team Building

December 2, 2012. The P.T. Cerna Corporation had their Team Building at Dahilayan which again was organized by Team Building Organizer CDO by The Marshalls. The concept of their team building was a mix of the Amazing Race and Obstacle Course.

Teams were given different tasks to complete to reach a common goal. The team building's main goal was to promote team work, camaraderie, and communication beyond the indifference's of each employee. The company wanted strenuous type of activities for their employees and at the same time challenge their skills through strategy and implementation.

We had technicalities on some of the tasks during the race but we were happy to see how the team showed team work in performing all the tasks. They listened to one leader, followed instructions, as well as they were open to ideas and strategies from their team members. 

The tasks were also a challenge of strength and agility as teams were tasked to go from one place to another and do strenuous tasks such as the obstacle course.

In the end, the team was able to understand the objective of their tasks during the processing as the given tasks were related to their work. The team had realizations like, 'sometimes in work we are not always given clear instructions, sometimes instructions are vague or unclear, and the best thing to do is ask', and 'sometimes we are too focus in finishing a task at work because we wanted to go home on time that we tend to forget to look into the details'.

In terms of finishing all the tasks, team Ranking were as follows:
1. Blue
2. Green
3. Yellow
4. Red
5. White

Lastly, we call each team as

• Blue Team - The Fastest Team (finished the tasks fast)
• White Team - The Coolest Team (coolest thinkers)
• Yellow Team - The Verbose Team (equates feelings into words)
• Red Team - The Strategist Team (strategize in every tasks)
• Green Team - The Illimitable Team (does everything with no limits)
