Thanks to FOCUS TEAM for executing the perfect teambuilding programme for us.

F&B:
•    Food catering arranged for us was of high standards and good quality, we enjoyed the fare
•    Water is important for hydration in this Singapore weather, and FOCUS ensured that we had ample water supply

Facilities:
•    Toilets were well-maintained, could have been better if we were told beforehand that there were showering facilities? (I had international guests who went straight to the airport, if they had known, they could have bathed)
•    Indoor function rooms were spacious and great for my group size of 21

Execution:
•    Damien and Tze Hao did a wonderful job engaging my group, we loved all the activities! There was no one point in time where there was a lull moment (apart from The Bubble Challenge! ending early)
•    There were more activities than I thought there would be, so a bonus surprise for me
•    Activity time was well-planned as well
•    A Minute to Win It activity – Downside was that I was hoping this would be played as a TEAM instead of appointing one member from each group to play, this allows for some members to laze off
•    The Bubble Challenge! – was agreed during the planning stage, but was told it had to be cancelled. Not quite acceptable for me since the communications had been made. However we still played The Bubble Challenge! in the end as I’ve insisted, so thanks to FOCUS for acceding to my request
•    I could not say more about the rest of the activities, including Whale Watch, Construction Maze, Trolley etc, they were refreshing and met all objectives of what we wanted our teambuilding to be, good job!

Service and Communication:
•    No complaints at all except for the above few ‘for improvement’ points I pointed out
•    The gift bag with framed up photo and cute thumb drive and bottle of sweets were all a pleasant surprise!

Keep up the good work! Feedback from the rest of my colleagues were all positive (less the unforgiving Singapore weather) and everyone had fun, we’ll definitely spread this good word to the rest of the departments in Epson.

SEPTEMBER 2015

“ On behalf of our organisation, we want to express our sincere thanks for the teambuilding programme that FOCUS Adventure team have conducted for us at Sentosa.

Not only the programme venue chosen was ideal for our teambonding session, the food catered as well with the activities planned for the whole day were perfect in creating the atmosphere for our employees to bond with each other. We certainly had a lot of fun and did get to know each other and ourselves better, especially when the team realized the power they had when they worked together towards a common goal.

Mostly importantly, the learning outcomes that were achieved after the day’s programmes, we are really pleased that the teams were able to learn from the many interesting activities that FOCUS has conducted for us. FOCUS Adventure has done an outstanding job and we have no hesitation in recommending your company to our business associates.

Our heartfelt thanks to the Project Manager and Facilitators for the wonderful and great teambuilding experience as well as the memorable photographs and video taken by them. ”
– Calvin Poon, General Manager, Unigold International

“I would like to compliment the Facilitator there by the name of Jeff and YJ for the outstanding help they have given to me. Not only that they have done a really great job in facilitating with the programme, they have also went through an extra mile to make my day! Thank you so much FOCUS Adventure for having such nice and helpful Facilitators. I felt really satisfied attending the Teambuilding programme. Keep on the great work!”

“Programme was fun! Good mix of High & Low Elements which made the programme engaging and provided a good change of environment from time to time. Prefer the Low Elements as it requires more teamwork, communication which result in greater learning and bonding after the activity.

Good use of music during energizer to hype up the atmosphere. After energizer was DISC which got a little too draggy and energy level of participants became lower. Felt that most people were aware of how DISC works so can shorten this theory part.

All in all, the objectives were achieved!”
– Winnie Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The activities were very fun and I got to know more colleagues through the programme. Through the activities, we learnt the importance of teamwork and the strengths and weaknesses of different personality traits that we can tie back to work. I prefer the Low Element activities as they required more teamwork and interaction. I had fun brainstorming strategies and playing the activities with the team.”
– Joanna, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“Good! I like the activities but it would have been better if there are more activities!”
– Chloe Mei, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“Good in general. Time and schedule nicely done, just that the High Elements portion could be expanded. I prefer the High Elements but need to have more variety and opportunities to do more during the programme. The High Elements challenge more guts, which I prefer; while the Low Elements that challenges the wits.”
– Andrea Sze, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was good, everything was going in a smooth flow. Can see that all the programmes are devised in an orderly manner. I would prefer High Elements. Reason being : It’s more fun and challenging. The feel of jumping from high ground to lower, is shiok”
– Mark Chua, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was well-developed and had not only a theoretical aspect but also a practical one which tied up nicely. Learnt more about the DISC profiles which fits what is practiced at work. Both High & Low elements have its own great points. Low Elements taught us how to work as a team and strategize before starting the activities. High Elements taught us how to embrace our fears & comfort zone. Personally still enjoyed the High elements as it’s something I don’t do often.”
– Sarah Lim, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was good! Surprisingly had a lot to take back. The activities were fun and I liked how there was always something we could learn in what I initially thought was pointless activities. Like the hula hoop activity, we all were thinking like this should be easy, bring up and down only. But when you actually did it, it was rather difficult. Prefer the High Element! Partly because I’m someone who is more adventurous and High Elements is what I like to do. ”
– Denyse Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“It was a good experience. No preference to High/Low Elements. Both are equally enriching and fun.”
– Emily, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“The programme was very interactive and fresh, very different from what I’ve imagined. Enjoyed myself and learnt how to handle my colleagues better, being more tactful. It was a very well thought out programme, I will definitely participate if there are more of it.

I actually don’t have any preference for High/Low Element activities, I have a phobia for heights but on that day, I knew I would be in safe hands so I actually volunteered to go first. It was a day I actually face my own fear and move on from it. So I don’t mind doing more High Element activities again.”
– Adam Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd

“It was tiring but fun and enjoyable. I prefer the Low Elements as I am afraid of heights.”
– David Tan, Recruit Express Pte Ltd
