Corporate team building can consist of a variety of activities, but the purpose remains the same. These activities are designed to be fun and teach employees how to effectively coordinate efforts among team members. Corporate America spends over $100 billion a year on corporate team building events.

Corporate team building provides a little off-site fun for co-workers that will ultimately benefit the company's bottom-line. In what ways do activities such as playing games or cooking together help employees work together more effectively in the workplace? Do training programs actually decrease the number of group failures? Explain your reasoning?
