A strong team is a team that works best together. When your team is operating as one cohesive unit, community management benefits along with residents. Team building activities are excellent ways to strengthen that connection, and to give your team an authentic opportunity to grow closer and stronger for it. A few team building ideas to bring your community management team together are: 
 

Throw A Team Party

 
Maybe you’ve thrown resident block parties, barbecues, or holiday events, but what about a special party just for your team? To show appreciation and gratitude for the hard work they do in keeping your community running happily, give them a chance to relax and connect in a celebratory atmosphere. Allow your teams to brainstorm party ideas but allow them to sit back and celebrate when the time for the party comes. 
 

Schedule A Community Service Day

 
Whether in your community directly, or out in the broader local region, teams can really bond when they’re working together and feeling good about serving those around them. Hosting a clothing drive, volunteering at an animal shelter, building a community garden, or spending the day at a local food pantry are all excellent ways to have fun and connect while giving back. 
 

Solve A Puzzle Together

 
Working together in a fun setting strengthens the team and helps them to work better together in general. Hosting a team scavenger hunt or an escape room excursion builds connections while encouraging cooperation in a relaxed and fun setting. 
 
When teams of any sort learn how to work together with comfort and confidence, everyone benefits. In community management settings, these benefits reach from community managers all the way to the newest residents. By investing in team building, you see real benefits by having a team that learns (and enjoys) working together like a well-oiled machine.
