Strong teams are essential in all sizes of businesses. However, many organizations prioritize consumer satisfaction while neglecting the requirements of their staff. With the frenetic and demanding pace of the office, it is easy to lose sight of the importance of employee communication, collaboration, and cooperation in a company’s overall morale and productivity. Thus, an outdoor team-building activity is an excellent way to revitalize the workplace. It allows employees to take a break from staring at their screens all day and allows the team to discover new locations in their city while also strengthening existing connections with other staff members. Explorer Group, established in 2008 is one such prominent firm, delivering an exceptional range of outdoor adventure and team-building activities in the UAE.
Explorer Group is uniquely positioned and stands tall among the other peers in the market owing to its customized activities designed as per the specification of the client as opposed to the other players in the market offering only off-the-shelf products. Explorer Group brings in a refreshing outdoor environment that fosters teamwork, active communication, and problem-solving skills which revitalize the workforce’s creativity and inspire future creative thinking in the workplace with activities ranging from the Beach Olympics, Dune Buggy Challenge, Oil Hunt Challenge, the Amazing Race, Hiking, and the Bedouin Treasure Hunt.
Unleash the Workforce’s Full Potential with Unparalleled Activities
“Most of the corporates and the people in the UAE are usually not subjected to the outdoors and the UAE is such a place that people tend to get accustomed to city life. Being the leading adventure experiences company, the whole idea behind Explorer Group’s team-building activities is designed to take people out of their comfort zone and put them in Adventure situations that they might not have encountered before,” emphasizes Akash Ranjith, CEO, Explorer Group. Explorer Group is a pioneer of treasure hunt races in the UAE and has been running the Amazing Race Treasure Hunt since 2010, which is essentially a treasure hunt located in a city with various activities. The firm implemented the same for Expo as well which turned out to be remarkable. Further, one of the most adored
activities is the Bedouin Treasure Hunt which takes place in the desert. Explorer Group is the only company in the UAE that is actually organizing a desert treasure hunt to the extent that it is executing. Bedouin Treasure Hunt is completely based out of the desert with buried treasure wherein the participants will have to use compasses, GPS, do some driving themselves, and find objects. Thus, in terms of the actual aspect of team bonding and building, participants receive a holistic picture through the treasure hunt, where it is not just an activity that they do in the office but a physical aspect and problem solving as well. They tend to start working together which aids in breaking the ice between different teams. Besides, mountain activity is another aspect that Explorer Group specialized in and was among the first companies to offer corporate hikes in the UAE.
Explorer Group has been doing this since 2012 and has partnered with Rasul Taima Tourism Board for the same. Its mountain activities are quite specialized; rather than just taking people simply on a standard hike, the firm has many stations that the participants are unaware of where they have to solve a clue or do a small team-building game in each station to go forward into the next level. Even if one is not used to doing hikes and has a bit of a fitness problem, it sort of helps the people who are used to doing it, or the people who are actually good at it, to bring the other people up to their level, which is a very important aspect in an office space. Within an office, it is all about working as a team, and if one individual can get two or three people in the team up to their level, they can execute tasks and actually solve problems seamlessly which is exactly what Explorer Group strives to accomplish.
Explorer Group is renowned in the market for being at the forefront of outdoor teambuilding experiences
Currently, Explorer Group is working on a few innovative products and has been developing its corporate wellness programs for the past few years, as the future is moving toward corporate wellness. The firm has partnered with some of the finest UAE sports scientists to develop its wellness program, DNA (Data Nature & Adventure) Wellness, taking the same essence of what Explorer Group stands for i.e., adventurous experiences. It will include wellness activities such as yoga, meditation, and different types of therapies which will be executed on a periodic basis.
Journey of Excellence
Explorer Group has grown multifold since its inception in 2008 and carved a niche for itself in the market owing to its unrivaled outdoor adventure activities and exceptional stewardship of Akash Ranjith. Explorer Group is renowned in the market for being at the forefront of outdoor team-building experiences successfully operating in Dubai, Rasul Taima, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. And as the firm forges ahead to reaching new heights, it is looking to expand into other areas in the GCC and be the number one adventure experiences provider.
