The team building event ought to be planned with the specific requirements of your company in mind. Whether seniors are on amicable terms with their juniors and if there are friendly relations among members within the peer group must be well understood by the organizers.

The organizers should also have undergone training in psychology and the dynamics of how an organization works. They should have knowledge of human reactions to difficult situations, all the inspirational factors, and what fosters unity or what breaks it in a corporate setup.

Team building events are generally theme based. So when you are picking a firm, inquire about what all themes they specialize in and see if they fit your needs. For instance, if you have planned the event to be an outdoor one with an adventure theme, then the events company should be capable of managing all the aspects involved in it.

Last but not the least, the enjoyment factor is critical to the positive outcome of a team building event. For this, the organizer's disposition and persona has to be considered. The organiser must have a charisma and must be of a cheerful and pleasant nature, which will rub on to the participants. This will help staff to lighten up and get recharged, and they will always be willing to attend any more such events in the future. At the same time this will increase the efficacy of the event significantly.
