    Team building

    For decades, corporations have tried different ways to help employees relax, bond, and think outside the box, all with the aim of increasing productivity by boosting team spirit.
    With outdoor activities, such as rock climbing at first, but the mix expanded to include games of strategy, mystery parties, and contests such as "Corporate Idol." And now cooking-themed events have joined the list.
    So what’s the allure?…the act of cooking, dining on your creation or the excitement of a company wide food fight? It could be all of the above but it seems to work according to companies that have tried it.

    A company called Teambonding is one of many offering cooking as part of a team building program.
