Hybrid Team Building…What you need to know

We love attending a good team event as much as the next person.  While 2020 has seen a lot of change in the way we connect our teams, and may have left you wondering when you will attend your company celebration or team day, we are here to tell you that it might be closer than you think.  Welcome to Hybrid Team Building!

What is a Hybrid Event you ask? A hybrid team building event aims to create an inclusive and engaging team event for teams that may not be able or want to travel in the near future.  Although not a totally new concept, hybrid events have greatly evolved in 2020, with much of the world still feeling the impacts of COVID-19 quite greatly.

With expert facilitators located across New Zealand, we have the ability to run your event simultaneously across multiple locations, before bringing everyone together virtually to reveal who the ultimate champions will be.  As such Hybrid Events are the perfect team building solution for those teams that may have team members spread out across the islands, want to lower event costs or lower their carbon foot print (find out more about the benefits of Hybrid Events here).  Whatever your objectives, we have a Hybrid Team Building solution that is perfect for you and your team!

i'm interested....so how does it work?

At Corporate Challenge Events, we understand that each hybrid event is unique, which is why we take the utmost care during all stages of the event process to ensure that every participant receives the same fun and engaging experience.

 

LET’S GET CUSTOMISING

The best part about a hybrid event is that it can be completely tailored to suit your needs.  Whether you are looking for something in person, online, a combination of the two, something social, active or somewhere in between we have you covered.   A Corporate Challenge representative will work closely with you throughout this process to ensure that the programme you select will meet your event objectives and be effectively delivered across all locations, whether that be across islands, overseas or online.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Once you have locked in your programme, our local teams will work with you during the pre-event planning to ensure that each location has all the equipment needed to successfully run the event.  For physical locations, any group sizes of 10+ will have an in-person facilitator on the day. 

KEEPING CONNECTED

Depending on your requirements, each group or location will be logged into the Corporate Challenge Zoom room at some point throughout the day.  Whether you would like an inclusive event introduction for every team, to remain connected throughout the event or just come together at the end for the big reveal, the choice is yours!  This ensures that the event still feels like one big team challenge even though your attendees may be hundreds of kilometres apart.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Whether you are participating online or in person, each team will be completely mesmerized by the activities that will be laid out for them.  With each activity specifically chosen with your overall event objectives in mind, we assure you that there will be plenty of laughter, fun and memories made no matter what for your event takes.

AND THE WINNER IS…

Just when you thought the event couldn’t get any better, it will be over to the facilitators from each location as they tally the scores to reveal who will walk away with the ultimate victory.  Everyone will be on the edge of their seats as it becomes time to make the big announcement!  Not ready for the fun to end?  Make everyone feel like a winner, by adding a social program, drinks session or BBQ to tie up the day.

The 6 Hidden Signals of Team Disconnection

Disconnection doesn’t always shout, it whispers. Learn to spot the six early signs of team drift and how to reset culture before disengagement sets in and performance silently unravels.

The Culture Weight: What Leaders Are Carrying (But Not Talking About)

Explore how leadership is quietly bearing the weight of disconnected teams. This blog unpacks cultural drift, emotional energy loss, and how structured play can reset team rhythm and connection.

Play with Purpose

Learn how play-based CSR delivers real cultural momentum. Discover the Play x CSR model transforming one-day events into lasting culture change.

Leadership’s Role in Fostering Play

Leadership’s role in fostering play is not optional. It is essential. The question is no longer whether play belongs at the leadership table — it is whether you are willing to lead the kind of team that will thrive because of it.

The ROI of Play

Explore the science, psychology, and performance impact behind play at work. This is your proof: play delivers ROI—through trust, adaptability, energy, and culture that actually sticks.

How to Fit Play Into Your Busy Workweek

Think your team is too busy to play? Think again. Discover why play isn’t a time-waster but a performance tool—and how to integrate it into your workweek without adding to your calendar.

Eye Rolls to Engagement—How Inclusive Play Brings Every Team Member In

Discover how to design inclusive play experiences that engage every personality. Learn how play bridges differences, builds connection, and helps your team thrive—without anyone feeling left out.

The Silent Crisis- Remote Teams Struggle with Connection

Disconnected teams, remote work fatigue, and declining engagement are threatening workplace culture—but there’s a powerful, science-backed solution: play. Discover why the future of high-performing teams starts with intentionally building connection through play.

Using play to elevate your conference

By intentionally embedding play into your conference, you create an environment where attendees are engaged, more creative, and more likely to form genuine connections.

Introducing the Play Hub

We’re proud to introduce the Play Hub—a free resource for event participants and organisers in 2025 PLUS free access to our Play Personalities Quiz, inspired by insights from the National Institute for Play.
