Group drumming is a great way to motivate staff and improve camaraderie and engagement
Drumming has been used for centuries to send messages, create bonds and promote unity within groups. It has also been found to reduce stress and to tune human biology in positive ways.
Now its therapeutic benefits are being channelled to improve motivation and communication in the workplace, to wow delegates at conferences and company gatherings and as unusual way of encouraging employees to let off steam after a gruelling meeting or an intensely busy period at work.
Drumming can be a terrific ice breaker, a great energiser and an easy way of connecting people. No skills are needed and I think what surprises people is just how quickly a group can get into a rhythm together and make a really big impact.It’s really interesting to see people’s reactions when they enter the room and see the drums on their seats, It takes them out of their comfort zone and they are a bit apprehensive at first. But they are also attracted by the novelty and the fun element.
Serious Fun
It can have a serious purpose allied to corporate objectives such as improving relationships within teams, closing the gap between management and employees, breaking down barriers.
