Members of the Bendalls Engineering workshop management team recently took part in a residential development programme with The Outward Bound Trust at Eskdale, focused on strengthening teamwork, leadership, and collaboration.
The week encouraged the team to step outside their comfort zones, build trust, and work together in new and challenging environments.
The biggest takeaway was the opportunity to reconnect. With each manager leading their own area, day-to-day interactions can be limited – so time away from the workplace allowed for open discussion, shared experiences, and a better understanding of each other’s strengths and working styles.
Each team member has returned with three key focus areas to develop further through internal workshops, ensuring the lessons learned are carried back into the business.
A big thank you to The Outward Bound Trust for delivering such a valuable experience that will continue to strengthen how our team collaborate and lead together.
