Research shows that a satisfactory, rewarding and fun activity has a high impact on employee engagement ultimately reducing attrition and improving productivity. When one sits back and breaks down the goals of team building, the similarities are comparable to the skills needed to succeed in the kitchen. What are these synergistic bullet points and how can they merge business with “pleasure”? - Communication - Problem Solving and Decision making - Troubleshooting - Planning and adaptability - Building trust When one reads over these traits, it is very easy to see that they are also “key” points of focus used in many facets of life. When in the kitchen, not only is communication a given, but how many times have you encountered a recipe and did not have an ingredient! For those with allergies or dietary restrictions, modifying can be in some cases, life or death, creating the need to troubleshoot and adapt and problem solve. The ability to take what is needed for business success and merge the underlying tactics needed in the kitchen is a win-win for individuals, teams and organizations.
