Skydiving as a team-building exercise

lol at me trying to learn danish! not knocking myself off as i'd love to learn a new language but i doubt i'll be able to learn oral and written danish and be good enough to be hired. lol! anyway, i think team building activities are generally similar across different companies and countries except for stand-out ones like this skydiving activity. i'm on the same boat as you as i would never think twice about accepting an offer like this from my employer. earn a salary and at the same time get to indulge in an otherwise expensive activity that only the rich can afford? well, why not? i'll surely take up the offer! cheers and happy mylotting!!!

You can apply, but you would have to learn Danish first Yes, it is a very luxurius team-building exercise. It is quite unusual, and I think that is a reason why they decided to write a newspaper acticle about it. The company think that it is worth the money and that the employees will be able to learn something important from this kind of exercise and that they will be able to use the things that they have learned in their work. I have never gotten that kind of offer in any of my jobs, but I would definately have said yes if my employer had offered me a skydiving course In my country team activities are also quite common. They often consist of different assignments where the employees have to work together and do different kinds of practical things together in order to improve team work, creativity, trust, communication etc. I have never participated in any of those activities, because my employers have never arranged that kind of activities, but some of my friends have tried it.

The places where I have worked haven't arranged that kind of activities. Actually we haven't had any team-buildings activities at all, but if I was got the chance to try skydiving I would participate. I would like to try it and I have thought about it before, but it is quite expensive, and I can't afford it at least not at the moment. I think that it would be amazing to get a free skydiving course, but I guess have I have chosen the "wrong" type of job The people who got that offer worked in a company that sells dictionaries, and I don't have a sales job.

Yeah, this sounds like an awesome company to do something like that for it's employees. It might not be for everyone to want to try but it's great for those who would want to take advantage of it.

I also think that it is good team building activity. I read the article about the company that had decided to offer their employees skydiving courses, and it sounds like the employees that accepted the course really learned something from the experience. It was only a relatively small group of employees that actually accepted the course, the rest of the employees weren't interested. I would have said yes if someone had offered me a free sky diving course, because it is one of the things that I would love to try. Unfortunately it is quite expensive, and I don't have the money to pay for it, at least not at the moment.

If I was one of those employees I would have accepted the course. Skydiving courses are expensive and if I got the chance to get a free course I wouldn't turn down the offer. It would be a challenge to try something like that, but I am sure that I would learn something from the experience, and I think that it would be a good team building exercise. I read the article about the people who participated in the course and they were happy that they had accepted the offer, because they had learned a lot from that course and they had gained self-confidence from the activity.

I think it is great that you are willing to try it despite your fear of heights It would be a real challenge, but I am sure that you would learn something from the experience and it feels great to conquer your fear and do something that you never thought that you would be able to do. I also like to challenge myself. I am not afraid of heights, but I like to challenge myself in other ways. I was afraid of public speaking so I decided to make a speech. I was really scared, but I managed to finish the speech and that felt really good. In my job we don't have the kind of team buildings activities that you described, but I would like to try it.
