Reviews of Georgia Team Building Event

May 29, 2007 8:32 AM

Has anyone around Atlanta participated in the Stone Mountain Corporate Team Building activities? Or been to any other event put on by the InnerWork company? This seems like a fun event for our company to do this summer but the $3,200 price (plus food and park fees) seems a little steep for what they are providing.

$3200 seems steep to me too, bro. surely somebody at your company is inventive enough to create a fun group event which spends some of that $3200 on beer kegs and buffalo wings.

sez you. there's an opposing school which holds that corporate team building is an utterly bogus waste of time, that worktime is for work (not prancing around on ropes ten feet above the ground) and playtime is for play, and that the individual ought to be in charge of his/her own playtime. if i go to work for you, i'd be happy to contribute any way i could, but there is no "team" in "i".

Seconding bruce. Corporate retreats are not progress.

Response by poster: Thanks MrMoonPie - I apparently did not actually read the search results when I searched on stone mountain.
