TAFIS Operations Teambuilding – Rozana (HR)

TAFIS Operations had their first monthly update and ended their session with a team building activity. The name of the game was “Tall Towers” and their objective was to build the tallest

tower made ONLY from newspapers. There were two snags. The first, the newspaper tower had to withstand the forces of “nature” (in the form of Rozana fanning it as hard as she can!) and the second, all the team members had to have their hands tied to one another. It was incredible to see the different types of towers – it was beyond my imagination. The activity was won by Jeff, Chui Boon, Gilbert, Alaister, Clyde and Farisan who built the tallest standing tower after careful planning and working with precision in rolling and folding the newspapers. They shared their prize of a box of chocolates with those around them. Apart from team work and building that sense of team spirit, the activity aimed at promoting communication amongst team members, planning and creativity.
