Team Building and Incentive Travel to the Maldives




Something not fully explored in the Maldives is Incentives. Yes, Maldives resort is very much delighted in accepting groups and incentive tours. Most incentives shall be with Gala theme dinner by the beach, some resorts with conference halls for meetings, and especially DJ nights for the group.

A not fully explored option is team building. This is a personal view but if resort that accommodates large groups and pushes on incentives, if they hire an individual very talented at team building exercises would be a plus point.

Most agents and groups always ask if resorts have such programs. 

Simple team building exercises:

  • Water balloon toss
  • Scavenger hunt
  • Potluck
  • Human knot
  • Blind retriever
  • Active listener
  • Group timeline
  • Finally to end it with the Gala themed dinner and DJ night


I truly think this is something resorts in the Maldives should explore and have an in-house team member able to do team building exercises.

If you are reading this, hopefully, this ponders in your mind.

Cheers!

HR department - human-resources department




A great man told me:

HR is a team of two.
The head of the department is the future setter, the one that assists employees not only full fill their career goals but aligns it to the personal goals that the employee is trying to reach too.
The second team member is the one in charge of HR accounting, the casual leaves, the annual leave, the cutting of salaries if late continuously or for absent days.

The first is head of the department, second is the disciplinarian. Never should the disciplinarian be in charge as humans are often corrupted been the one with power, the one that sets the future vision for the employee to survive, thrive and grow within the company environment should be the head of the house.

When it comes to interviews or call back to potential recruits HR department should be more humane less automated. People should be excited to come for an interview or to research your company and join you, it should never be just another interview.

Sadly most HRs are either too lenient towards employees or become the hangman of employees taking the executions given by the management of firing or just deducting of salaries.

Management which kind of HR department are you seeking? HR what kind of team member are you planning of being?

Last but not least feed oneself with interesting mind awakening discussions.

Cheers!
