Discover team building measures
The word team building is derived from the English language and refers to the process by which a group seeks to strengthen its trust in one another in order to work more effectively towards a jointly defined goal. Team building measures are crucial for a company as they create trust between employer and employee and increase the team's performance in the long term. The past coronavirus pandemic in particular has shown the impact that a trusting relationship between managers and employees can have on the success of a company.
At agt, we quickly found our way back to a strong sense of community after the acute coronavirus phase. Through open communication and the proactive use of new technologies, we have succeeded in establishing hybrid working models that take into account the need for both flexibility and personal interaction. We have made our flexitime even more flexible and introduced a trust-based working time model that gives our employees more autonomy and personal responsibility.
At the same time, we have not only maintained our incentive systems, but also expanded them in a targeted manner. With the introduction of the bonrepublic digital reward system digital reward system, we have found an innovative way to recognize and reward performance. The platform enables us to communicate appreciation directly and transparently and reward employees for special achievements. The joint case study shows how we were able to sustainably increase employee satisfaction through personalized development paths and a well thought-out recognition system.
We are convinced that the key to a successful team culture lies in the balance between individual freedom and communal experience. Through a targeted combination of flexible working models and regular team-building activities, we create an environment in which our employees can flourish and at the same time develop a strong sense of belonging.

Priority 1: The health of the employee
In an increasingly networked working world, strong teams are crucial to the success of a company. Team building activities support this, with both parties benefiting independently of each other. For example, they offer employees the opportunity to develop new skills, reduce stress and increase their motivation. In addition, they promote creativity, innovation and contribute to conflict resolution, which improves the working atmosphere and significantly minimizes disagreements. Team building activities promote cooperation, improve communication and strengthen team spirit.
Last but not least, it should be mentioned that these positive effects are also transferred to the employer. An employer that takes care of its employees contributes to a positive image, which increases the attractiveness of the company and makes it easier to recruit qualified specialists. Above all, they are almost indispensable for creating a pleasant working atmosphere. Basically, it can therefore be said that the dynamism and efficiency of a company is heavily dependent on its employees and that forward-looking action pays off.
In general, we at agt strive to give our employees the opportunity to develop their strengths. This also includes internal and external training. Learn more about our efforts for a better workplace on our sustainability page and see our projects for yourself.
Indoor - tried and tested team-building games
Workshops and seminars are preferred for indoor measures, which present the team with new challenges and strengthen cohesion in a balanced atmosphere. Casual team games or events are among the more fun methods of conveying important values. For example, a visit to an escape room promotes creative thinking and team spirit - but is comparatively more expensive than a quiz or board game evening.
Outdoor - popular activities
Instead of going out into familiar surroundings, outdoor activities offer completely new ways to share experiences and face challenges. For example, team events, adventure sports and outdoor games can be used. From rope courses and journeys to orienteering runs - outdoor activities require close cooperation, trust and communication in order to achieve the goal together. They therefore not only promote team spirit, but also the personal development of the individual.
Digital - up-to-date and future-oriented
Many websites and programs offer the opportunity to take part in online workshops, visit virtual escape rooms or tackle team challenges. By using video conferencing tools and other digital platforms, team members can communicate and collaborate interactively with each other. This proves that you can strengthen your team even if you are physically distant.

Strengthening team spirit in times of digitalization
In the era of digitalization and flexible working models, team spirit is taking on a new significance. The desire for office and home office options presents companies with challenges in terms of corporate culture. While studies prove the efficiency of working from home, absence from the office can affect the "sense of togetherness".
Nevertheless, it is clear that flexible working conditions are appreciated by employees, which presents companies with the task of promoting team spirit and cooperation.
A positive attitude towards modern working conditions has a positive effect on the choice of employer. In order to promote trust and loyalty, companies can rely on creative team-building measures to support a transparent and pleasant way of working.
We stand for a dynamic corporate culture in an up-and-coming mobility industry. We value our committed employees, who contribute significantly to our success. That is why we attach great importance to a harmonious working environment in which everyone feels valued.
To achieve this goal, we organize a variety of indoor and outdoor activities.
This includes regular team events, joint meals and team excursions. We are particularly proud of our kick-off trips, where each department has the opportunity to travel abroad together every year, financially supported by agt.
In addition, we promote the potential of our employees through regular training courses and seminars. Our aim is to motivate them to continuously develop their skills and knowledge. Individual development meetings provide a safe platform for the open exchange of wishes and criticism.
With these measures, we not only focus on a harmonious and diverse corporate culture, but also actively support our employees in shaping the right career for them. In this way, we remain true to our values and our vision.
In addition, we promote team spirit through quarterly budgets for activities such as meals, bowling, laser tag and bar visits to strengthen the bond within the team. These events are planned independently by the departments and are generally always eagerly anticipated.
