PepsiCo Launches a Women’s Support Mission in Florida<\/h4>\n\n\n![\"5-custom-team-building-activities-tailor-made-to-our-customers-unique-needs-2\"](\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_1119-1-scaled.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSpeaking of core values, one of PepsiCo’s is “Growing the Number of Women Leaders.” In order to echo that principle, the soft drink company’s team in Bradenton, Florida<\/a> asked Outback to customize their School Supply Scramble<\/a> team building activity to focus on female empowerment. <\/p>\n\n\n\nA typical School Supply Scramble involves solving a series of challenges to earn school supplies that are then assembled in kids’ backpacks. Instead, PepsiCo’s custom “Women’s Support Mission” had the employees complete female-focused challenges and put together thoughtful care packages for their local Women’s Resource Center. The group split into teams and packed donation bags that included items like lip balm, lotion, socks, and body wash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA group of senior leadership and board members from Group Medical Services wanted to participate in a team building activity that would help them take a proactive approach towards good health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The insurance company employees partnered with Outback and decided on a custom Amazing Chase<\/a> \u2013 a popular outdoor team building activity<\/a> that, typically, has groups racing to complete a variety of fun physical and mental challenges centered around their location. For their custom event, Outback created a variety of wellness-themed challenges that lead the colleagues through an equally educational and entertaining journey around downtown Victoria, British Columbia<\/a>. Some of the challenges included a tea tasting, an “outdoorsy” fashion contest at outdoor apparel outfitters Patagonia, and a Random Act of Kindness<\/a>, where the group had to complete a good deed in a set amount of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn the end, the Group Medical Services team had a fantastic event, and achieved their goal of learning about wellness and how it comes in a wide variety of forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenfield Global Goes Green in a Custom Escape Room in Toronto<\/h4>\n\n\n![\"5-custom-team-building-activities-tailor-made-to-our-customers-unique-needs-4\"](\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/20181113_110803-scaled.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGreenfield Global produces and supplies environmentally friendly materials for businesses. So, when they decided to plan a team building activity for their Mississauga, Ontario<\/a> office, they wanted to make sure that it would align with their company goals of being green. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe group participated in a custom Corporate Escape Room<\/a> event called “Save The Amazon.” The goal of the green-themed team building activity \u2013 brought to life with special props and puzzles that we designed specifically for the colleagues \u2013 was to retrieve a golden leaf that would help the world move towards a low-carbon future. The employees found the special leaf with time to spare, as they worked on their critical thinking skills and reinforced the company\u2019s objective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joieful Gets “Unleashed” with a Pet Supply Mission in New Orleans<\/h4>\n\n\n![\"5-custom-team-building-activities-tailor-made-to-our-customers-unique-needs-5\"](\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/IMG_3832-scaled.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor their conference, the New Orleans<\/a> tourism experience company Joieful wanted to do something that would help local dogs and cats in need, and also play into the “unleashed” theme of their sales meeting. So, after working together with their Employee Engagement Consultant at Outback, the employees decided on a customized Military Support Mission<\/a> \u2013 only, instead of creating custom care packages for troops serving abroad, the Joieful colleagues would assemble packs to donate to a local animal charity. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSplit into teams, the group collaborated to solve pet-focused challenges in order to earn supplies including treats, catnip, toys, washcloth towels, waste bags, and flea tablets. Then, they put together three different kinds of packs \u2013 one for dogs, one for cats, and a general-themed package \u2013 that were filled to the brim with supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were two winners in this Pet Supply Mission: the animals who benefited from the Joieful employees’ hard work and the colleagues themselves, who made meaningful connections with each other as they collaborated to give back to their community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equinix Participates in a Custom Charity Scavenger Hunt in Montr\u00e9al <\/h4>\n\n\n![\"5-custom-team-building-activities-tailor-made-to-our-customers-unique-needs-6\"](\"https:\/\/www.outbackteambuilding.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Featured_Event_School_Supply_Scramble_Montreal_7-1.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nPhilanthropy is a big focal point for the global financial company, Equinix: there’s a charitable component included in every event they plan. For their Montr\u00e9al, Quebec<\/a>-based team building activity, the international employees had three main goals to achieve: nurture relationships between colleagues, have fun exploring the city, and give back to the community. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn alignment with their goals, the group customized their School Supply Scramble \u2013 normally an indoor event \u2013 to take place outside and around popular landmarks in Montr\u00e9al. Not only did they get to see attractions including the Montr\u00e9al Observation Wheel and the Old Port of Montr\u00e9al, but they also donated all of the school supply kits and backpacks they assembled to Carrefour Famillial Hochelaga, a local organization that supports the well-being of families in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
