HOW CAN WE HELP IMPROVE YOUR COMPANY?

CORPORATE RECREATION
Tired of the office? We know you are. Get all your staff, colleagues or clients and go have an adventure!
Fun and excitement for everyone. It is useful as an energizer and/or just as a relaxing day away from the office.

Don’t forget to keep your loyal clients satisfied by rewarding their support with adventure and outdoor fun!

Activities can include anything from river rafting or clay pigeon shooting, to 4×4 driving and game trekking. Sounds like a much better option than work, or what do you think?

Development Programs
We do not have any set programs, as we understand that every group is different, and thus, need to be dealt with accordingly. We do have standard procedures involving various assessments, and specific activities developed according to the group, individual, and company’s needs.

All our programs are based on the Dimensions of Wellness. Although our programs are in-depth and focus on critical issues, it is presented and facilitated in an enjoyable and comfortable environment. People learn best by doing, so with the help of specific indoor and outdoor activities, and mostly being out of the office environment during the programs, help the individuals understand the processes, and learning occurs easily and effectively.

People tend to retain information easier and longer if they enjoy and understand what is being learned. This increases the probability of maintaining their positive changes when combined with applying what they have learned to their personal and office environments. They enjoy themselves, while learning, and changing for the positive.

WELLNESS
If a person is uncertain of who he or she is, then how will they be able to work with other people? In today’s life, people get distracted easily and dictated by technology, fashion, celebrity lifestyles, corporate branding, etc. They are influenced by corporate and social images of what they should do, what they need, or in general, who they should be, all so they can achieve a ‘higher social standard’. We need to go back to the roots and determine who each person really is; their strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, values and beliefs, etc. We have to take a step back and look at each individual, before we can take a step forward in achieving personal growth and wellness.

These programs focus on both a personal and corporate level. Companies tend to focus on the ‘chain’ (i.e. the group of persons or a department), and forget that the ‘links’ (i.e. the individuals) hold the chain together. We start off with development on individual level, so we can strengthen the links, before we focus on the chain as a whole. It can also be compared to the foundation of a house or building; if the foundation is sturdy, you can build anything on it!

What is teambuilding really about?

The members at Innovative Pursuits Africa are motivated to assist corporates and government by turning their management and staff from a group of members into an elite TEAM!

We focus on different levels of development.

Easily explained it means:

Level 1) If you look at an athlete with a muscle or tendon injury, it can be compared to the first step in the development program which is Recreation. It is like rubbing on a bit of “Deep Heat” – it helps ease the pain and she feels better for the moment, but as soon as she gets back onto the field, the pain comes back. This is the level of “teambuilding” that most teambuilding companies provide - you get absolutely nothing from it. It is the same as substituting medication with smarties – doesn’t help at all, just looks and tastes good (and smarties are expensive compared to their size!).
 
Levels 2 & 3) You need to look deeper into the problem. The athlete should consider going to a sports physician or physiotherapist to fix the underlying problem, not just the symptoms. This is where the Education and Development stages in the development program comes in. By use of a proper Developmental Program, the individuals and the team as a whole, can improve themselves and thus aim to improve the office environment as well as their personal lives.
 
Level 4) If there is a serious problem, like a rugby player that has a major shoulder injury, an operation might be necessary to fix the problem. In a team development program this is considered the Counceling/Therapy stage. It doesn’t end with the operation. Ongoing therapy and physiotherapy is required to ensure that the injured area heals properly and that it remains fully functional afterwards. Thus, assessments need to be done with the office members before, during and after a program to ensure that they get the most from the program to ensure enriching lives and an effective and efficient office environment.
 
You certainly want your business to function to its full potential, don’t you? Wouldn’t you enjoy working in an successful and healthy office environment? Why not focus on treating the core of the problems in stead of always trying to fix the symptoms with a bit of “Deep Heat”? How would your life change if your job environment improves? Less stress? Think about it.
