The most sustainable team building framework is to build quick-fire questions into an existing meeting schedule. Mentimeter's software facilitates interactive team building games that are easy to respond to (and easy to join), enabling collaborative discussions to happen more regularly than standalone, annual exercises.

Most team building activities for large groups fail to be effective, as it can be difficult to facilitate that many voices at once! Mentimeter's team building software solves this problem, enabling an unlimited number of participants to join a live session and contribute at the same time. For a department or a full company, run a shared team building activity everyone can join from their phone, then break into smaller groups for discussion. There is no practical limit on participants in a live Mentimeter session.

Good team building questions are specific, answerable in a few words, and reveal something people would not otherwise share. Some good questions include:

• What is the best piece of advice you have been given?

• Which is one skill you would like to learn from someone here?

• What is the one word you'd use to describe this team right now?

Ask, anonymously and repeatedly. It’s a good idea to run the same short set of questions each quarter. Ask questions about how well the team communicates, whether people feel able to disagree openly, whether they know what colleagues are working on, and how comfortable they would be raising a problem, and watch the direction of travel rather than the absolute score.
