Many companies have started using escape rooms as a preferred method to work towards team development. It is easy for the employees to develop team building skills once they experience conditions like escape rooms. The rooms require the players to foster cooperation and each participant needs to do their bit to make their team successful in escaping the room. Several businesses that have taken their manpower to experience an escape room have reported having achieved a high rate of success of team camaraderie in the work place. The reason is that the participating teams start interacting with each other, a lot.
Check out some of the following benefits of escape games:
Players develop respect for others’ contribution
Players are expected to apply their skills to get solutions for a given problem. Thus the players start developing a high reverence for the contribution of others while playing. It is a great quality that should be inculcated among the employees to improve their teamwork.
Encourages employees to be empathetic towards one another
Communication among the participants is crucial if they want to be successful in an escape room. Listening to the views of other players is very important. This quality will be useful to them to succeed in their workplace. Employees who do not have listening skills will be sure to develop them after entering into an escape room.
Helps in developing different communication styles
The escape games require participants to communicate in different ways. Such styles are difficult to develop in other places. Once the employees develop these skills in an escape room, they can apply them in their organization.
Helps in building up rapport through time-bound pressure
Escape rooms create pressure for the players enabling them to develop camaraderie between them. Though there will be some players who do not share good relationship at their workplace, the room’s pressure will compel members to contribute to come out of the escape room. This will in turn inspire employees to work in harmony.
