Discover the possibilities for your team outing at the Heineken Building Rotterdam

A successful team outing brings colleagues closer together and ensures a good balance between collaboration and relaxation. By facing challenges together and sharing informal moments, colleagues build trust and improve cooperation at the workplace. But what makes a team outing truly valuable? Good teambuilding is about strengthening mutual bonds through activities that stimulate communication, trust, and cooperation. This can range from joint challenges to informal moments where colleagues get to know each other in a different way.

When organizing an original team outing, it's important to consider the interests and dynamics within the team. A mix of active, educational, and social activities ensures that everyone remains engaged. Think of sporty challenges, creative workshops, or a relaxed drink at the end of the day.

A team outing is truly successful when the team goes home with a positive experience. This can be achieved by choosing an activity that is both relaxing and connecting, such as an interactive tour, a joint workshop, or a convivial conclusion at an atmospheric location.

Want to organize a team outing in Rotterdam that is not only fun but also effective? At the Heineken Building, you'll find a combination of interactive and informal activities that help teams work together in a relaxed manner and conclude the day in an inspiring way.

What can you do during an original team outing at the Heineken Building?

To maintain energy and focus, teams can participate in short energizers. These are interactive tasks that stimulate collaboration and creativity. Think of quirky team tasks or short physical challenges that help maintain concentration and improve group dynamics.

Beer Handling Workshop: Learn something new together

During an original team outing, it's often about gaining new experiences. In the Beer Handling Workshop, participants learn how to pour the perfect beer and gain more insight into the rich beer culture. This not only provides a fun and relaxed activity but also gives teams the chance to work together in a different way.

Heineken Guided Tour: Discover the history

A team outing can also have an informative approach. During the Heineken Guided Tour, participants get a glimpse into the history and architecture of the Heineken Building and its impact on Rotterdam. This makes it an interesting addition to a team day, especially for teams curious about the background of the location they are at.

Relax at The Secret Bar, The New York Bar, or on the rooftop terrace

After an active or educational day, there is room for informal talk. The Secret Bar and The New York Bar offer an atmospheric place where teams can come together in a relaxed setting to conclude the day. In the summer, we also transform our rooftop terrace into a beautiful lounge with a possible cocktail bar and BBQ. This contributes to a pleasant working atmosphere and strengthens the mutual bond.

Seek out the competition: pub quiz, tap competition, or an active workshop

There should also be plenty of laughter. Let colleagues compete against each other. Our bars offer the perfect environment for this. Our rooftop terrace also provides space for interactive workshops. So far, there have been Haka workshops, PT workouts, and Djembé workshops.

Combine a team outing with a business meeting

Sometimes it is convenient to combine a team day with a business meeting. The Heineken Building offers various rooms where teams can first get to work on content, then engage in an appropriate activity. This can help to make the business part of the day more productive and ensures that the team outing has an added substantive value.

How do you complete the team outing?

A successful team outing doesn’t just consist of activities, but also a well-organized day and hospitable catering. At the Heineken Building Rotterdam, we provide custom catering, ranging from breakfast, lunch to drinks and (private) dinners. This allows teams to efficiently manage their day and enjoy the activities without interruptions.
