Organized Company Gatherings

BT 201810 Art 02公司团队建设

在结束了一天疲惫的工作之后,你最享受的是什么呢?可能你会直接回家准备去健身房,放松自己,看个电影,或者放空 。还有的人可能会选择去朋友家,亦或者和家人享受一顿安静美味的晚餐。可能你已经发现了,许多工作之后的活动都是围绕着个人的私生活、朋友以及家人圈展开的,和工作并没有什么关系,但是在中国,情况就大不相同了。在下班之后,中国人,尤其是大公司的员工,喜欢和同事一起共进晚餐,甚至参加公司团体活动,也被称为团队建设活动。

在中国, 人际关系是非常重要的,当然中国的公司也不会例外。每个人都特别注意和同事以及上司的关系,和他们的互动不会止步于下班。团建活动不仅仅只是由上司组织,下属员工也会私下组织团体活动,当然也会附带上管理层以及其他上司。这些活动对于大家互相了解对方以及建立同级之间的工作关系至关重要。

中国的公司,特别是大型企业,经常会为员工组织团队建设活动。这些活动范围广泛,包括团体晚餐、游戏活动、去酒吧听听音乐喝喝酒、爬山、唱卡拉OK,甚至是去近郊做短途旅行。对于新员工来说,这不仅仅是建立工作关系以及人脉的重要机会,还能够在私下和同事变得更加亲近熟悉。对于公司来说,也是可以使每个部门的团队更加紧密,建立健康的员工关系的极好的机会。

员工团队活动的目的十分清楚,主旨是在公司中建立属于自己的关系人脉。和不同部门以及级别的人一起进餐能够很好地扩展人脉以及获得更多的信息,对于个人在公司的发展是有百利而无一害的。当然,有些人还会在团建活动之后成为很好的朋友,在工作内外都会经常聚会碰面。

大家常说中国人只知道工作,但是事实上,中国人对于和上司以及同事之间的关系也是非常注意的。团建活动可以让员工有更多了解对方的机会,但是与此同时也可能让一些员工觉得更加疲劳,把团建当作是额外的工作,甚至会被这些持续的工作相关的压力搞得疲惫不堪。有时,员工很难决定是参加一些团体建设活动来加深自己的优势以及人脉机会,还是留一些给自己放松以及缓解压力的时间。然而不参加团体建设活动可能对于个人形象不利,也会让人觉得你拒人以千里之外,这些都有可能造成你和上司以及同事之间的误会以及隔阂。

BT 201810 Art 03What do you usually do after a hard day at work? You might go home and get ready to go to the gym, or may want to relax, unwind and watch movies. Some may go over to a friend’s house, or visit their family and have a nice quiet dinner. If you’ve noticed, many of these options pretty much revolve around the individual’s personal life, and personal friend or family circle, while excluding any sort of ties to work. But in China things can be very different. After getting off work, Chinese people are likely to go to dinner with colleagues or even attend work group activities called team building, and this is especially true for employees of larger companies.
 

In China, interpersonal relationships are very important, and Chinese companies are no exception. Working relations between staff members and their superiors are extremely important, and usually interaction with workmates and team leaders or managers does not end after you punch out for the day. These activities are not only arranged by the higher ups, but junior employees can also be known to arrange team building activities amongst themselves, while still including management and other superiors. These events and activities are a great way for everyone to get to know each other better and build better working relationships amongst their peers.

BT 201810 Art 04Chinese companies, especially large corporations, organize regular group building activities for employees. These include a variety of activities, like a team dinner, a night out playing games together, going to the bar to listen to music and have a few drinks, hiking, singing karaoke, and can even be a group trip somewhere maybe outside the city or country. For newly hired employees, this is a great opportunity to begin working on relations and network, as well as becoming more familiar with their colleagues on a personal level outside of work. These team building activities also provide companies with an opportunity to quickly establish tight knit working groups within each department, and to build healthy relationships among staff members.
 

The purpose of these staff's group building activities is pretty clear, and it is primarily to establish their own network of relationships in the company. Eating with people from different departments and people of different levels means you may be exposed to more information and more opportunities to network, which will definitely benefit every individual in future. Of course, there will also be some people who actually become really good friends through linking up at these group activities and spend a lot of time together outside of work and work related outings.

BT 201810 Art 05It is often said that Chinese people are extremely tired from working. But in fact, Chinese people also have to pay a lot of attention to their relationships with superiors and coworkers. Group building can give employees opportunities to become more familiar with each other, and can also result in the staff being tired and left with a feeling of being overworked, and their minds being overloaded with constant pressure from work related items.
 

Sometimes, employees find it hard to decide whether or not to attend team building activities for further possible advancement and networking opportunities, and instead take the time to relax and decompress, but this might end up costing them the chance to trek further along in their careers at a faster rate. Not attending team building events is also likely to reflect badly on you, and make others feel you may have a reason for not wanting to be around them, which could lead to misunderstandings between you and your superiors or coworkers.
