the company does occasional group outings which allows the work group to have chance to bond and create links through the people at work whilst not feeling to socially awkward or like its a work based enviroment. the employer sent us to green parks which is an outdoor activity centre where we had to work on bonds and begin to trust people and start developing professional and work relationships
