Why Is Team Building So Valuable?

New clients often ask why team-building is so essential to their business, and we explain. ‘That for any team, success only comes from having a single shared dynamic’ and our goal here at Dash Outdoors is to focus your team’s dynamic.

We do this by delivering a bespoke package of tailored activities and exercises both on and off the water to suit your team’s goals, interests and abilities in a non-threatening, competitive and creative atmosphere.

The Dash 'Importance Of Team Building' Philosophy

Today more than ever, a successful company relies on an incredible number of moving parts to move forward, the most important being your staff. If everyone’s not moving in the same direction, you could be losing your team’s true potential.

So the Dash philosophy is pretty straightforward, and it’s one that suggests; ‘if your team shares a common goal and performs together to achieve it, not only will that team excel, they will know what their purposes are and how exactly they can go about achieving it- together’.

What Can Team Building Achieve?

Based on the five principles, we believe that team building brings teams together and focuses them on their work. As a result, we deliver a range of creative team-building activities and water sports that have all been designed to develop your team’s productivity, strengthen and enhance their individual leadership skills, foster an ethos of shared accountability, build trust and get the most out of the talented people who make your business work.

The Five Reasons For Developing Team Building

Building Trust

Trust plays a significant role in building effective teams. For teams to work collectively, they need to know they can trust each other: they need to know they can fall back on each other if the need arises.

When you build trust among teams, they give each other space and autonomy to accomplish their tasks, make their own decisions, take risks, be more proactive, and be prepared to listen to one another. As a result, there’s more collaboration, communication and team members aren’t afraid to expose their vulnerabilities with each other.

Increased Productivity

In today’s ultra-competitive business world, there is a need for teams to share the workload. Doing so allows projects to be finished faster, thereby increasing productivity and improving the all-important bottom line. The importance of team building is that it improves the individual members and helps the organisation’s productivity increase.

When individuals work in teams, they can pick up on new skills and sharpen their existing skills, this improves team performance, makes members more efficient, and gets more work completed in less time. As a result, organisations can generate more revenue, achieve their targets and deliver their best results.

Fosters Creativity And Learning

Successful team building inspires employees to learn from each other and build on team members’ talents. Teamwork actively allows room for fresh ideas and new perspectives.

It brings together individual experiences and encourages new, innovative ideas that make the work more fun and efficient. As a result, the team members bring something new to the table and learn from each other.

Resolves Conflicts

When people work together, particularly if they are under pressure, there are bound to be disagreements. So it’s up to team members to resolve the conflicts amicably and not let it turn into full-blown disputes.

But remember conflicts aren’t always a bad thing, sometimes they turn into constructive and useful work. Disagreements might arise if people with diverse experiences are in a single group rather than those with similar experiences. So the key to resolving such conflicts is that team members should be open to hearing and accepting diverse opinions and perspectives. When team members group their varied opinions, skills and experiences, they can achieve so much more.

Promotes The Company Culture

When teams successfully work together, it improves the company’s overall bottom line and simultaneously encourages a positive and motivating workplace culture. It actively fosters creativity and innovation; employees communicate and collaborate more, which improves their performance and efficiency. Conflicts and misunderstanding are quickly resolved, and team members become more accepting of each other. People start getting recognised, motivating them and others to achieve more and be better the next time.

Parasailing

Experience the flight of your life with Dash Outdoors parasailing! Parasailing uses a parachute to let you ‘fly’ behind our boat whilst safely and securely attached at all times. We use a specialised parasailing’ winch boat’ for perfectly controlled takeoffs and landings - the only internationally approved parasailing method. Our boat’s rear has a large takeoff and landing platform, which is where we harness you into the parachute, perform our safety checks, and then start the flight. Our powerful winching system controls your ascent and takes you up to a height of around 500 feet from where you can soak up the incredible views of the unspoiled Desaru coastline. When it’s time to come down, we gradually winch you back to the landing platform for a perfect landing every time. Parasailing is an exciting adventure for singles, couples, groups, and is even safe for kids. No skill is required so share the fun and fly with family and friends or go it alone on a solo flight. Let Dash Outdoors take you to new heights with a parasailing experience that’s sure to be the highlight of your Desaru beach adventure.

We kit you out with full safety gear and water bottles. All you have to do is bring your legs!

Knee Boarding

Knee-Boarding is one of the most accessible types of water sports there is. It's easy to start with, but it's also fun to progress and even do some tricks along the way. It's an excellent activity for those that haven't mastered the 'standing-up' part of wakeboarding or water skiing yet. Learn how to knee-board properly with the Dash Outdoors team, or if you're experienced, we'd love to see you shred the waves.

Water Skiing

Join Dash Outdoors in the tropical paradise of Desaru for a waterskiing session that you'll never forget. Using our high powered jet skis to pull you up, we'll have you slicing through the ocean in no time. If you are a beginner, this is an excellent opportunity to try this exciting sport with the Dash crew coaching you all the way. We also provide waterski sessions for advanced skiers and more formal lesson programs for beginners. Just pop by and let's have a chat.

Wakeboarding

Possibly one of the coolest water sports around. Just as snowboarding overtook skiing, wakeboarding has fast become the funkiest way to ride the water under power. Once you've picked up the basics, wakeboarding is extremely easy to learn and enormous fun. Typical wakeboarding speeds are 30–40 kilometres per hour, but that can feel a lot faster when you are riding a wakeboard and bouncing over the waves.
At Dash Outdoors, we'll equip you with top-of-the-line wakeboard and safety gear. We use our high power jet skis to do the towing, which means no propellers to worry about. Be prepared to get wet, have a laugh and probably a few aches the next day - it's a serious workout!
We provide wakeboard sessions for advanced boarders and starter lessons for beginners. Just pop by and have a chat.

Windsurfing

Windsurfing is the perfect combination of sailing and surfing. If you have ever thought to try this out one day - now is the time! With one of our expert Dash instructors, you can learn basic windsurfing in just a couple of hours.
Here at Desaru, we have excellent conditions all year round for windsurfing. When the winds blow a consistent speed during the monsoon months, we have perfect conditions for advanced sailors or those looking to improve their skills. During the rest of the year, we have calm seas and light breezes – perfect for beginners.
If you're an experienced windsurfer, then come down to see us and rent some kit. If you are new to windsurfing, we can provide a taster session for an hour, and you can then progress to solo sailing, or have additional instruction as you wish. It's all about having fun and getting out on the water.

Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP)

A relatively new craze, Stand-Up Paddle-boarding (or SUP) gives you the freedom to explore the ocean using a single-ended long paddle. Our boards are wide, long, super stable and easy to use. They're so good they can take a few people at the same time. Some people even go out early in the morning or later in the afternoon for a relaxing SUP yoga session.

Fat Bikes

Why walk along this beautiful tropical beach when you can cycle it? Our top of the line "fat bikes" boast massive 4inch wide "fat tyres" that will have you cruising soft sand with ease. We have both adult and kids versions complete with helmets and locks so you can take the whole family and explore our beautiful Desaru coastline in comfort and style.
