What have HSBC, Center Parc and Bird’s Eye got in common?

The answer is they are some of the many well-known businesses who have signed up for 2020 Effect’s teambuilding drumming workshops (in fact, HSBC this year signed up for their third corporate drumming workshop). Corporate Drumming Events are a growing phenomenon in big business, but why should corporate drumming events appeal so much to such big companies.

Reducing stress; improving focus

Since the Stone Age, and in all corners of the globe, humankind has been beating drums, often in celebratory rites. It is now understood that, as well as reducing stress-levels, drumming promotes creativity and improved clarity and focus. With 71% of white-collar business workers admitting to feeling the strain, it is no wonder that many of them are signing up to join interactive drumming workshops. Of course, by booking employees on to corporate drumming events, organisations can benefit from a happier, healthier, less stressed workforce; but this still doesn’t fully explain why corporate drumming has become so popular.

Boosting creativity

One of the attributes that sets one organisation apart from its competitors is the ability to harness the creativity of its employees. By acting on the right hand side of the brain, together with the release of tension, corporate drumming workshops provide an ideal space for the formation and expression of creative new ideas, which can then be brought back to the workplace.

Learning to listen

The corporate workplace is comprised of many different people, each with their own part to play in ensuring an efficient and productive environment. However, in a society that rewards individual success, it is sometimes a challenge to remember that a great team requires its members to value one another’s input.

Team building drumming is all about harnessing diversity, while ensuring that all members of the team work together to produce a rhythm that is both steady and harmonious. If one drum is out of time or too loud, the entire sound is compromised. Corporate drumming is as much about listening as it is about playing, and by facilitating the integration of its many parts, corporate drumming events enable an organisation to discover its own, unique beat.

One of the beauties of 2020 Effect’s corporate drumming workshops is that they can be tailored to fit the themes of any existing corporate event, whether the focus is on teambuilding, communication, creativity or some other facet of corporate development.
